The US Open, the year's third major, is just around the corner. The game will begin on Thursday, June 15, at The Los Angeles Country Club, with the top golfers in attendance. The event will feature 156 golfers competing, including the world's top three golfers, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy.
Fans are focused on the major event because, for the first time since the two series merged, LIV golfers and PGA Tour players will compete on the same course.
The LIV Golf Nation recently unveiled its top five sleeper choices for the US Open, which are mentioned in the article.
