SOUTHAMPTON, NY – This week will feature the third major of the 2026 season (Rory McIlroy/Masters Tournament; Aaron Rai/PGA Championship) and the 126th playing of the U.S. Open, dating to 1895.
The 2026 U.S. Open will be the 76th USGA championship and 21st U.S. Open conducted in New York. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is the lone course to have hosted the U.S. Open in three different centuries. The golf course was founded in 1891, is the oldest incorporated golf club in the United States. Shinnecock is one of the five founding member clubs of the USGA, which was established in 1894 and conducted its first championships in 1895.
In 1896, Shinnecock Hills hosted the second U.S. Open (35 total players) and second U.S. Amateur (58 total players).
The 2026 U.S. Open is the 10th USGA championship to be conducted by the club and the sixth U.S. Open (1896/James Foulis, 1986/Raymond Floyd, 1995/Corey Pavin, 2004/Retief Goosen, 2018/Brooks Koepka).
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will also host the 2036 U.S. Open and 2036 U.S. Women’s Open.
The USGA accepted 10,201 entries for the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, one entry shy of the record 10,202 entries accepted for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. This year marks the fifth time in championship history that the number of entries exceeded 10,000.
The field will be cut after 36 holes to the low 60 and ties.
