US Open Golf History

The U.S. Open golf championship, first played in 1895, was originally played concurrently with the U.S. Amateur Open, but both were postponed because of the America's Cup, which was to occur at the same time. Both were scheduled in Newport, Rhode Island, but the Americas Cup, a yacht race, was more popular at the time and so the U.S. Open had to be delayed.

All 36 holes of the US Open were originally played in one day. That changed in 1898 when the USGA changed it to a two day event, with 36 holes on each day, for a total of 72 holes. It changed again in 1926, with 18 holes each day on the first two days, and 36 on the third. Since 1965, the U.S. Open has played with 18 holes per round, for four days.

Betting US Open Golf

Betting on golf is at its most exciting during one of the four majors: The Masters, U.S. Open and PGA. in the U.S., and the British Open. With the exception of The Masters which is always played at Augusta, Georgia, the venue for these events rotates among a group of leading courses.

Golf betting is available on PGA, LPGA and European Tour events, The Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the Ryder Cup, which in recent years has become highly competitive with the outcome frequently coming down to the results of the last few singles match-ups.

Betting on golf has increased dramatically in popularity over recent years. Two different types of bets are offered; the first is betting on the winner of the event with odds, generally ranging from about 7/1 to 70/1, being offered on all players. These odds are then adjusted after each round of play. Secondly, there are match-ups in which two or more players are hypothetically matched against each other, either on a round-by-round basis or over the entire course of the tournament.
