Hopping Over to Oakmont: The US Open at Oakmont Country Club welcomes 14 LIV Golfers, including:
- Josele Luis Ballester, Spain's newest LIV Golf sensation, following his move from the Korn Ferry Tour and joining Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC on a multi-year deal. His spot at the US Open was secured through his Amateur Championship victory back in 2024.
- Richard Bland, an English veteran who nabbed a proud moment in 2024 with his win at the US Senior Open. While he hopes to improve on his previous best finish at the Major, T43rd in 2022, he'll face a tough competition at Oakmont.
- Bryson DeChambeau, an American juggernaut, comes on the heels of securing the US Open title for the second time at Pinehurst No.2 in 2024. With his exceptional performance over the last two Majors, there's no doubt he'll be a force to reckon with at Oakmont.
- Tyrrell Hatton, another English talent that made it to Oakmont thanks to his world ranking. Notorious for his inconsistency in Majors, he'll be aiming to maintain his spot in the top-60, which guaranteed him a place in the field.
- Dustin Johnson, a former US Open champion that won the trophy back in 2016 at Oakmont. Given his past success at this Major, he seems confident and eager to defend his title or snag another delightful victory.

- Marc Leishman, an Australian who clinched his place at the US Open as the only LIV golfer among the seven finalists in Final Qualifying at Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas. In doing so, he denied fellow LIV players like Sebastian Munoz and Peter Uihlein.
- Phil Mickelson, an American nearing 55 years, is competing with time against his career Grand Slam dream. He needs to win the US Open to complete his collection, but the odds are steep, given the passage of time and his last runner-up position being 12 years ago.
