Welcome back to Brookline.
It’s U.S. Open week as the 122nd playing of the USGA’s flagship championship returns to The Country Club near Boston for the third time and first since 1988.
Defending champion Jon Rahm highlights a strong field for the third men’s major of the year that includes world No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, as well as PGA champion Justin Thomas and last week’s winner at the RBC Canadian Open, Rory McIlroy.
Also in the field are Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and others who participated in the controversial Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series event in London. Last week the USGA announced that the LIV competitors would be eligible to play in the U.S. Open.
Featured groups worth watching include:
Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, Max Homa (7:29 a.m. ET, No. 1)
Joaquin Niemann, Cameron Young, Will Zalatoris (8:02 a.m. ET, No. 1)

Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Xander Schauffele (7:40 a.m. ET, No. 10)
