Oakmont Country Club and Merion Golf Club will host a US Open or US Women's Open in each of the next four decades, the United States Golf Association announced, ensuring major golf will be played at the two Pennsylvania layouts until 2050.

Merion has hosted 18 USGA championships - the most of any course - with Oakmont on 17.

Oakmont, which was previously announced as the host site for the 2025 US Open, will stage the 2028 and 2038 US Women's Opens, the 2034, 2042 and 2049 US Opens, and the 2033 Walker Cup.

Oakmont becomes the second US Open anchor site along with Pinehurst Resort and Country Club which received the designation last year.

Merion will host four additional Opens - the 2030 US Open, 2034 US Women’s Open, 2046 US Women’s Open and 2050 US Open, with additional championships to be named in the future.

"Oakmont and Merion are iconic in every sense of the word - they’re in rare company in golf and continue to test the best in the game," said John Bodenhamer, USGA senior managing director, Championships in a statement.

"We’re making history and kicking off a new era for our national championships in Pennsylvania, and we couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead."

The US Open Championship drives $500 million in economic impact annually to communities across America, according to the USGA .
