Oakmont prepares for the 2025 US Open

THE JOURNEY HAS BEGUN. THE NATIONAL GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO OUR REGION, ORGANIZED BY A COURSE ALWAYS READY FOR THE TOURNAMENT. Essentially, we’re saying we can always, in a few weeks, transform this place to prepare. OPEN. I think this extends to membership. THE CLUB IS HOSTING. Um, we have a great relationship with them and that extends into the community as well. AND THE USGA IS PLANNING THE SITE AT OAKMONT STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO, AND THEY’RE ALREADY SEEING AN AMAZING RESPONSE. RECRUITMENT OF VOLUNTEERS STARTED IN MARCH AND WE ALREADY HAVE A WAITING LIST. WE HAVE RECRUITED MORE THAN 3,000 VOLUNTEERS. THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE RESPONSE. TICKETS ARE ON SALE IN JUNE, AND IF YOU PLAN TO SEE THE OPEN IN PERSON, EXPECT AN EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT FROM PAST OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS. We are working with Oakmont to create viable locations on the property to enhance the fan experience. UH, MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE, GIVE ACCESS TO MERCHANDIZING, CONCESSIONS, AND BETTER VIEWING AND THOSE COMPETING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOULD ALSO EXPECT A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. WE ADDED A LENGTH. WE ADDED APPROXIMATELY 250 METERS IN TOTAL LENGTH. SO IN 2016 WE WERE JUST NORTH OF 7,200 YARDS, AND NOW WE’LL BE NORTH OF 7,400. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL DASHBOARD TOTAL YARDS AND ESPECIALLY NUMBER THREE, NUMBER FIVE, NUMBER 11, WE HAVE ADDED SOME SIGNIFICANT PARKING ON THESE HOLES. And I’m really taking the opportunity to realign a number of fairway bunkers just to ensure they come into play for the long hitters and the best players in the world. ALTHOUGH OAKMONT WILL BE DIFFERENT, SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE WHEN IT CONCERNS THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. THEY WANT TO SEE A HARD GOLF COURSE, NOT JUST A HARD US OPEN GOLF COURSE, THEY WANT TO SEE AN OAKMONT, US OPEN HARD GOLF COURSE AND MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER WINS, THEY DESERVE IT. AND WE HAVE SEEN IT OVER TIME. NOW SOME QUICK FACTS AHEAD OF THE 2025 US Open IN OAKMONT. IT’S JUNE 12 TO 15. THIS WILL BE THE 125TH CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB HOSTING THE COMPETITION FOR A RECORD 10TH TIME. AND THEY ARE NOT FINISHED YET. LOOK AT. RETURNS OPEN TO OAKMONT I
