Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will host the U.S. Open in 2026, after the event has returned to Oakmont Country Club in the previous year.

Oakmont Country Club, which is hosting the ongoing U.S. Open, has been awarded the right to hold the tournament again in 2025.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) confirmed Oakmont will host the 2025 U.S. Open, while the following year the championship will head to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York.

Diana Murphy, president of the USGA, said: "Bringing the U.S. Open Championship to Oakmont for the 10th time in 2025 is testament to the quality of this fine golf course and the longevity of the strong relationship the USGA has with the club.

"It is an honour to make this announcement during the 116th U.S. Open when everyone here can celebrate the U.S. Open's return to this iconic course in nine years.

"In keeping with our goal of providing the most comprehensive test in championship golf, we are also honoured to announce a return to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the 2026 U.S. Open Championship."

Next year will see the U.S. Open take place at Erin Hills, with Shinnecock Hills confirmed for 2017 and Pebble Hills lined up for the 2018 tournament.

"We are thrilled to host the 2025 U.S. Open," said Ed Stack, president of Oakmont Country Club.

"Oakmont and the USGA have had a very special relationship for nearly a century and we are honoured they have chosen Oakmont to host a record 10th U.S. Open in 2025."
