The 2022 US Open is the third major tournament on the PGA TOUR calendar and will take place at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. It’s the first time since 1988 that Brookline will be the setting for the US Open, and just the fourth time overall in the major’s long-running legacy.

Last year, a massive prize pool worth $12.5 million was at stake at the 2021 US Open.
