2023 US Open preview
Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson will have grins as wide as the Cheshire Cat at the Los Angeles Country Club this week, as the 2023 US Open plays out in the wake of last week's shock merger between the PGA, DP World Tour and LIV Golf.
Smiling for the cameras and putting up a united front isn't likely to come easy to those that remained loyal to the PGA and DP World Tour, only to be sold down the river by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan as he secretly struck a deal with Saudi Arabia that will see him become the chief executive of a brand new entity that's likely to completely rehash the golf calendar.
It's somewhat fitting, then, that this week's US Open stands to be the first major the LACC has ever hosted, with only a small group of players, namely Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, having ever competed there before.
Being world No.1 is great and all, but Scheffler would love a major title to go along with it. He came close at last month's PGA Championship but was pipped to glory by Koepka, while Rahm held off Koepka and Mickelson at the Masters.
It's all nicely stacked up for a seriously exciting final round at the US Open 2023. Rickie Fowler (-10) and Wyndham Clark (-10) are neck-and-neck. Just ahead of them are world nos. 1 and 3 with Scottie Scheffler (–7) and Rory McIlroy (–9) both more than capable of scooping the trophy on the final round.
But don't count out Harris English (–6), Dustin Johnson (–5), Xander Schauffele (–7), Tommy Fleetwood (-5) and even Bryson DeChambeau (–3), all of whom won't fail to capitalize should the leaders toil.
For anybody keeping score – and let's face it, who isn't? – that's one major for the PGA loyalists and one for the LIV defectors, who now look increasingly unlikely to face any repercussions. The stakes are very high, and here's how to watch a 2023 US Open golf live stream from anywhere.

US Open 2023: weather forecast for Los Angeles Country Club
As you'd expect, the weather forecast for Los Angeles is a far cry from what we saw at Brookline a year ago. Whereas the last US Open was beset by gloomy skies and even gloomier rain forecasts, players and spectators will have no such problems this time.
Temperatures look set to be in the low 70s across all four days of the tournament, with glorious sunshine throughout.
Who won the US Open last year?
Nine years after winning the the U.S. Amateur Championship at Brookline, Matt Fitzpatrick won the US Open at the same venue, emulating the great Jack Nicklaus' twin victories at Pebble Beach.
It was the Englishman's first ever PGA Tour title, and it was secured at the expense of Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris, who tied for second.
Is Tiger Woods playing in the US Open this year?
Tiger Woods has opted to skip the 2023 US Open, as he continues to recover from the injuries he sustained in the car crash that could have taken his life in 2021.
The three-time US Open champion has, somehow, still managed to register some remarkable rounds of golf since, but since the accident he's tended to fade fast in the latter half of tournaments as the hours spent walking the course have taken their toll.
Who has won the most US Opens?
Willie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), Bobby Jones (1923, 1926, 1929, 1930), Ben Hogan (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953) and the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972, 1980), have each won the US Open four times.
Anderson has the distinction of winning three consecutive editions of the tournament, while Nicklaus took a rather different route to his joint-record haul, spreading his four triumphs across 19 years.
Tiger Woods (2000, 2002, 2008) is one of two players to have won the US Open three times, with Hale Irwin (1974, 1979, 1990) the other. Irwin remains the oldest player to have won the US Open, at the age of 45 years and 15 days old.
