The Travelers Championship returns to its usual slot following the U.S. Open, after a one-year hiatus to help make scheduling room for the Olympics. Jim Furyk probably wouldn’t mind if it had stayed in the new slot, leaving with the PGA Tour’s historic first 58 in the final round.

Greg DePalma and PSN managing editor Jeff Shain look back at a highly uncharacteristic U.S. Open that brought Brooks Koepka his first major title, winning with back-nine birdies rather than survival instincts.

Greg DePalma, PSN managing editor Jeff Shain and Joel Cook from Pro Golf Weekly preview the final round of the U.S. Open, where more records were set at Erin Hills on Saturday as Justin Thomas matched the Open scoring mark with a 63.

Greg DePalma, PSN managing editor Jeff Shain and Joel Cook from Pro Golf Weekly look inside a U.S. Open that yielded low scores on the first two days yet sent home each of the top three in the world rankings.

Greg DePalma and PSN managing editor Jeff Shain welcome Joel Cook from Pro Golf Weekly to help preview the U.S. Open, where Open debutante Erin Hills is record-setting long and the grass is tall as Dustin Johnson gets set to defend his title.

Golf: As the sport’s best golfers get ready for a U.S. Open test at Erin Hills, the game is set to keep its place on the Olympic program for 2024. And just where is Tiger Woods these days?
More than any other tournament in golf, the U.S. Open does not have winners as much as it has survivors. Nor is Erin Hills expected to be any exception. PSN content partner Pro Golf Weekly breaks down this week’s top storylines at the longest layout in Open history.
The FedEx St. Jude Classic offers the final tuneup for next week’s U.S. Open, with more than 30 players in the field who will tee it up next week at Erin Hills. PSN content partner Pro Golf Weekly breaks down this week’s top storylines at TPC Southwind.
Greg DePalma and PSN managing editor Jeff Shain preview the FedEx St. Jude Classic, along with other headlines in the final week before the U.S. Open commences at Erin Hills in Wisconsin.
