In the lead-up to the 2025 U.S. Open, USGA CEO Mike Whan said that Oakmont Country Club will provide “golf’s toughest test.” He wasn’t lying. The notoriously challenging course in Pennsylvania will soon officially claim its first victims, including a pair of former champions that represent LIV Golf.
Fourteen LIV golfers were in the field when the third major of the year teed off on Thursday, but seemingly less than half will remain after the cut is made. (The cut line was projected at 7-over when play was suspended Friday.)

Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau (+10) and 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson (+10), whose win came at Oakmont Country Club, are among the golfers that are likely done after 36 holes.
The U.S. Open remains the only major Phil Mickelson hasn’t won in his career and the title remains elusive; Mickelson sits at 8-over on the tournament. Mickelson, 54, has finished second at the U.S. Open a record six times.
The second round of the 2025 U.S. Open was suspended at 8:15 p.m. ET on Friday due to lighting in the area with a handful of golfers still on the course. The cut line won’t be finalized until the second round officially concludes Saturday. Play resumes at 7:30 a.m. ET.
If the cut line holds at 7-over, Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka will be the only former U.S. Open champions from LIV still in contention. Rahm was crowned champion in 2021 after a win at Torrey Pines, while Koepka won back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 2017 and 2018 at Erin Hills and Shinnecock Hills, respectively.
