U.S. Open 2025: Here's every player who is in the field (so far) for Oakmont

It’s nice to know you already have a spot in the 2025 U.S. Open locked up with more than four months to spare until the championship. That’s the case for 49 golfers who have earned exemptions into the USGA’s marquee event as it heads to Oakmont Country Club for a record 10th time.

In February, the USGA revealed 25 exemption categories from Local and Final Qualifying for the 125th U.S. Open, making news with the allowance for one player from the LIV Golf League to claim a spot at Oakmont if he ranks among the top three in league’s individual standings as of May 19.

During the nine previous U.S. Opens held at Oakmont, some of the game’s greatest players have claimed the title, including Tommy Armour (1927), Ben Hogan (1953), Jack Nicklaus (1962) and Johnny Miller (1973). Most recently, Dustin Johnson won at Oakmont in 2016 by three shots despite being hit with a penalty at the end of his final round after his ball was found to move on a green earlier in the day. As an anchor site for the U.S. Open Oakmont has already been named site for the 2033, 2042 and 2049 U.S. Open along with several other USGA championships.

Of course, there are several ways for players to earn exemptions into the U.S. Open between now and June. The complete rundown of categories can be found below along with a list of everyone already in the field. Come back between now and June to see who else has played their way to Oakmont.
