Oakmont Country Club has delivered to expectation as host of the 2025 U.S. Open as only 10 golfers out of the 156-man field finished the first 18 holes under par. Atop the leaderboard entering Round 2 is J.

DeChambeau followed what his fellow SMU alum, the late Payne Stewart, accomplished 25 years earlier by winning the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. He is looking for his third U.S. Open title. After going even on the front nine, DeChambeau went 3-over on the back.

So much has happened since the PGA Tour and LIV Golf entered a historic "framework agreement." One thing has not: A deal uniting the two leagues.

Phil Mickelson was in agreement with a fan page of his that compared one aspect of the PGA Championship with LIV Golf's latest event in Virginia.

It was three years ago this month that the LIV Tour debuted in London with plenty of relevant stars from the PGA Tour making the jump to the big-money tour backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. It was two years ago this month when the PGA Tour and PIF announced a framework agreement that could in some way unite men’s golf again.

Apparently, there are still a few things money – in this case, nearly a trillion dollars of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund – can’t buy.

The PGA Tour continues its trek through the Great White North with 18 holes remaining in the final event before the third major championship of the season. The 2025 RBC Canadian Open is taking center stage with the nation's championship being contested at its 38th different host venue in tournament history as the North Course at TPC Toronto.

Scott O’Neil — the newly installed CEO of the Saudi-backed pro golf league that aims to bring a different, more raucous atmosphere to its events than the rival PGA Tour — said Monday that discussions are underway to return LIV’s team championship event to Michigan in the future.

LIV Golf's season-ending team championship is set to be played Aug. 22-24 at The Cardinal at Saint John's in Plymouth Township.
