Here's everything you need to know to enjoy the 2017 U.S. Open:
When is the 2017 U.S. Open?
Thursday-Sunday, June 15-18, with the final round scheduled for Father's Day.
Where is the 2017 U.S. Open?
This will be the first time Erin Hills Golf Course hosts the U.S. Open. A links-style course just northwest of Milwaukee, Erin Hills is a fast track that can get very windy in a hurry. The back tees reach an odyssey-bestowing 7,800 yards, which means players had better eat their Wheaties before the week begins.
Who is televising the 2017 U.S. Open?
Fox will once again televise the U.S. Open, and the network recently released its scheduled broadcast schedule (all times Eastern):
Thursday: 11 a.m.- 6 p.m. on FS1; 6-9 p.m. on Fox
Friday: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on FS1; 6-9 p.m. on Fox
Saturday: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. on Fox
Sunday: 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m. on Fox
How can I stream the 2017 U.S. Open?
Fox will offer live streaming on Fox Sports Go. The USGA also will provide live streaming from the U.S. Open on usopen.com and the U.S. Open app.
Who won the 2016 U.S. Open?
Amid more controversy (a ruling gaffe by the USGA), Dustin Johnson conquered Oakmont to finally win his long-awaited first major title.
Who is favored to win the 2017 U.S. Open?
Johnson has a firm hold on the No. 1 spot in the world rankings after a dominant start to the 2016-17 season. Though he sat out the Masters after a fall, he will be the man to beat, especially with his tremendous power on this massive layout.
Phil Mickelson will also be an interesting man to watch, as he tries to put aside his U.S. Open demons and claim his career Grand Slam.
As of May 29, here were the top odds of winning the U.S. Open, according to VegasInsider.com :
Dustin Johnson 7/1
Jordan Spieth 9/1
Rory McIlroy 10/1
Jason Day 12/1

Justin Rose 15/1
Hideki Matsuyama 22/1
Rickie Fowler 25/1
Sergio Garcia 25/1
Adam Scott 28/1
Henrik Stenson 28/1
Phil Mickelson 28/1
