American Sports

The US Open is renowned for its challenging course setups, often pushing players to their limits. Held at iconic venues like Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines, it’s a true test of skill and endurance. With a purse of $20 million in 2023, it’s also one of the most lucrative events in golf. What’s your take on the US Open’s tough conditions—do you think they make the event more exciting, or is it too punishing for players?

I couldn't tell you with certainty that it is the most difficult but if you read the same comments from the experts they confirm that it is, it is the most difficult golf tournament.

I think the tough conditions are what make the US Open so compelling. Watching players navigate brutal rough and lightning-fast greens showcases incredible skill and mental toughness. It’s golf at its purest—rewarding strategy and resilience. Iconic moments, like Tiger’s 2008 win at Torrey Pines, wouldn’t exist without those challenges.
