U.S. Open 2017: A complete guide to all 156 players
By Luke Norris
A look at the entire field of the 117th U.S. Open.
The 117th U.S. Open is finally here.
Defending champion and world No. 1 Dustin Johnson is looking to become the first back-to-back champion in more than 25 years — he is the current favorite and should be — but there are 155 other players in the field this week looking to make history, including 59 of the top 60 players in the world, a total that could go down by one if Phil Mickelson ever makes up his mind. (Update: Mickelson has withdrawn and has been replaced by Roberto Diaz. His group has been updated.)
First-time host Erin Hills will also be looking to make its own mark on the golf world. With thick rough and a ton of length, the first Wisconsin course to host America’s national championship is going to be a tough test for the best players in the world.
In the pages that follow, you will find a complete guide to the 156-player field. Players are separated into their groups for the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday and you’ll find tee times for the first two days, world rankings, how they fared in their most recent start , their 2016 U.S. Open finish, some of their history at this storied event and everything in between.
Players will tee off from both the 1st and 10th tees in the first two rounds so let’s get rolling with the first groups going on Thursday morning and run from there. Enjoy.
