Excitement is building amongst golf fans as the 123rd US Open will start this week.
The Los Angeles Country Club will host proceedings as Matt Fitzpatrick returns as defending champion after last year's dramatic one-shot victory and maiden major title at Brookline. The Englishman will head into the tournament looking to be the first player to defend a major since Brooks Koepka.
JDespite the news there will be no Tiger Woods present, Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler will do battle once again at the top of the world rankings while Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson will be shooting for success. It's also a unique venue this time around as the LA Country Club will be the home of a US Open for the first time in 75 years.
There may also be some drama on the cards following the news that PGA Tour's McIlroy and LIV's Koepka will play together. Sergio Garcia has also addressed his future after it was announced golf's two biggest rivals - the PGA Tour and LIV Golf - had agreed plans to merge.
