The United States Open Golf Tournament is an annual event played each year as part of the PGA tour. There is a US Open for both men and women and are amongst the most important tournaments in the sport.

Men's tournament:

• The first U.S. Open Mens Championship run by the United States Golf Association[?] was played on October 4, 1895 on a nine-hole course in Newport, Rhode Island. In the beginning, the tournament was dominated by experienced British players until 1911 when John J. McDermott[?] became the first native-born American winner. Very quickly American golfers began to win and the tournament evolved to become one of the four tournaments comprising the prestigious Grand Slam of golf.
