The USGA takes a great amount of pride in making the US Open the toughest test in golf.
00:07
We have seen the length of the rough.
00:09
We have seen golf fighters drop a golf ball in the rough and see it disappear.
00:14
We have heard from the players themselves.
00:16
Call Oakmont right now, more than likely, the hardest golf course in the world.
00:22
Just how difficult of a test will Oakmont provide at the 2025 United States Open?
00:27
As difficult as it's going to get.
00:31
I mean, this is a perfect marriage between the USGA and the Oakmont membership because they both just love carnage.
00:38
And that's why we've come here for the 10th time.
00:40
There have been nine previous US Opens here.
00:42
Over 1,300 participants overall have played in a national championship here.
00:47
And less than 2% have ever finished the tournament under par.
00:51
The place just absolutely annihilates people.
00:54
It's a par 70, 7,300-yard track that's got 168 bunkers.
01:00
I mean, as if 167 weren't enough.
01:03
They're probably adding one right now.
01:05
The rough, it is so severe.
01:07
I mean, if it was three inches long, it's so dense and thick.
01:09
I mean, these guys out here in Pittsburgh, we know this in New York, we've had a ton of rain this past May.
01:15
They've had 13 inches of rain in the last 10 weeks here.
01:18
The place is, I joked in the opening, it's Sokmont.
01:21
It is absolutely so wet in this long grass and everything.
01:25
It's thick.
01:26
It's dense.
01:26
It's, and the playing surfaces are absolutely perfect.
01:30
The fairways, the greens, and the greens themselves, the average green size is over 8,500 square feet.
01:37
There's so many little tests to this place over the course of 18 holes, over 72 holes.
01:42
Just to shoot even par will probably make you the national champion.
