The ATP has said all points earned at Wimbledon in 2021 will fall off a player’s record and no new points will be earned there this year. “Our discussion was really on the merits and really the principles around both sides of this argument. The All England Club, where main-draw play for Wimbledon starts on June 27, announced in April it would bar all Russians and Belarusians from its fields — which means the man currently ranked No. 1, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, is not eligible to participate. Belarus has aided Russia in the war. In May, the WTA and ATP said they would not award any rankings points from Wimbledon this year, an unprecedented rebuke of the All England Club. Some players, including four-time major champion and former No. 1 Naomi Osaka, said they would consider sitting out Wimbledon. The U.S. Open will allow tennis players from Russia and Belarus to compete this year despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, which prompted Wimbledon to ban those athletes.

"This is a horrific situation and we, along with everyone else in tennis, absolutely condemn what is an unprovoked and unjust invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and everything is framed in that context," Sherr said.

___ “I’ve been disappointed with how he has went about what he has done,“ McIlroy said. Most of his Q&A with reporters Tuesday was focused on the newly forming schism in golf and his relationship with players who have left. ___ He missed 2020 with an injury and tied for fourth last year at Torrey Pines. That was in March 2020 when it was a different organization attempt to create a new league. I’m tired of all this stuff.“ I’m tired of the conversations.

The U.S. Open heads to The Country Club in Brookline where a champion will be crowned after four days of gruelling golf.

+1.06 (11th) +2.53 (2nd) +0.89 (11th) +1.63 (18th) +0.44 (41st) +0.12 (73rd) The 33-year-old is +25,000 to win it all. That being said, it was his first two rounds of professional golf in five months. The Country Club requires a great short game, so while we would like to see better numbers in his around-the-green stats, being positive in that category is doable. English top-10 finish (+1,800): We’re going to take a flier on English to finish in the top 10 at an insane +1,800.

U.S. Open 2022 best bets: Props, sleepers, head-to-head matchups ... (CBSSports.com)

Mike McClure has locked in his 2022 US Open long shots, prop bets, sleepers, one and done picks and best bets.

So what 2022 U.S. Open prop picks should you target? You can only see his 2022 U.S. Open best bets at SportsLine. One of McClure's top one and done picks this week for the 2022 U.S. Open is world No. 5 Justin Thomas. The 29-year-old notched a thrilling win over Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff at the 2022 PGA Championship, and while he followed that up with a missed cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge, he put together an impressive week at the RBC Canadian Open where he finished in third place. Rahm also ranks first in strokes gained off the tee (1.194) and fourth in strokes gained tee to green (1.598), two stats that will be extremely important given the tough conditions expected at the U.S. Open 2022. One of McClure's favorite 2022 U.S. Open prop bets is Jon Rahm finishing in the top 10 at +130 odds. Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 U.S. Open field and just revealed his top PGA prop bets. In fact, he currently ranks first in greens in regulation percentage (72.34), which leads to more makeable birdie opportunities. In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was a massive 40-1 long shot. Which players should you target when building your 2022 U.S. Open prop bet strategy? This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Which 2022 U.S. Open sleepers should you target for a potentially huge payday? Brooks Koepka has been dominant at the U.S. Open in recent years.

U.S. Open 2022: Why the 'worst course in America' was once ... (GolfDigest.com)

The success of Bethpage Black hosting the U.S. Open spurred the idea of upgrading another muny, Ponkapoag Golf Course outside of Boston, as a potential ...

“But I still think, with the right amount of momentum, you could have a Bethpage in Boston.” If the venue is a country club or resort, that means dealing with a few hundred members and a board or two. Yet an endeavor like that costs money, and initial estimates at the time already pegged a rough $10 million to get Ponkapoag into U.S. Open shape … about double what it cost to do the same at Bethpage. Ponky? The U.S. Open at Ponky? You can’t possibly be considering Ponky.’” Now riding the wave from Bethpage, it was time to put that template to the test, and his eyes were gazed on Ponky, which he originally scouted in the late 1970s as a potential U.S. Amateur Public Links host. His audacity and inventiveness in the mid-1990s spurred the USGA to explore another neglected Golden Age gem in a state park by the name of Bethpage Black to serve as the first true public facility to host the U.S. Open in 2002. They could see what Fay saw in Ponky, that with a little TLC this place could be something more. Fay, however, saw it as a template that could be replicated throughout the country. Ponky may be the paradigm for the phrase “good bones” in the most negative connotation. Over a seven-year period, Fay shepherded that idea through New York politics, red tape and doubt to bring that vision to light, and the end result was such a resounding success—the people’s championship at the people’s course, with Tiger Woods the impressive winner—impelled a renewed interest in the preservation, restoration and advancement of public golf facilities. And I just think that between that, the New England air, the beautiful backdrop and the impact going there could have, it seemed like a fun option.” Ponkapoag Golf Course, or “Ponky” as the locals call it, is a 36-hole facility just 10 miles down the road from The Country Club. Donald Ross designed 27 of its holes in the early 1930s, with Ross’ protege William Mitchell credited with the other nine.

Another surprise: Cameron Smith, a 14-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the 2022 U.S. Open title. The model doesn't like him at these premium odds, making him a golfer to fade in your 2022 U.S. Open bets. Scheffler has been on fire this season, producing four wins and seven top-10 finishes, highlighted by his victory at Augusta. But he's cooled a bit the last few weeks.

Ranking the Top 10 Golfers Ahead of the 2022 US Open (Bleacher Report)

Everyone wants to be Jon Rahm. Or, more specifically, everyone in the professional golf world wants to be where Jon Rahm was around this time last ...

Best of 2022: Rahm has been in the mix often this year, with a win, a second, a third and three other top-10 finishes across 12 events. A second at this year's Masters and an eighth at the PGA indicate he's still primed for the spotlight. U.S. Open History: An eight-shot rout of the 2011 field at Congressional included four rounds in the 60s and gave him his first major victory. Best of 2022: It was a good pre-U.S. Open week for McIlroy, who won the Canadian Open by two shots to up his world ranking from eighth to third. He's been in second place after 18 holes twice and has played seven of 20 rounds in the 60s. Why He's Here: Schauffele closed 2016 at 299th in the world rankings but has won at least one event each year since 2017 to jump as high as fourth. Whether he's the pick in every event or not, he's got the title of "best golfer in the world" until someone takes it from him. Why He's Here: The scorching start to 2022 vaulted him from 12th to first in the world rankings, and the fact that he's been eighth or better at four of the past five majors he's played certainly adds big-stage gravity to the stats. Best of 2022: The 30-year-old is quietly having quite a season, thanks to six top-10 finishes in 11 events. He's eligible to compete this week in spite of a decision to play in the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational Series, where he finished eighth. Why He's Here: Six wins since the end of 2019 helped boost the Norwegian's world ranking from 93rd to as high as seventh. Best of 2022: None of the players on this list have made a bigger world-rankings jump this year than Smith, who finished 2021 at 21st.

Virtual Insanity! John Duggan's Golf Tips for the U.S. Open (Off The Ball)

Welcome to Virtual Insanity, where we spend virtual money to try and win virtual money on golf be...

The talk will be of Matt Fitzpatrick and how he can repeat his 2013 success at Brookline, but what of Canadian Corey Conners, who narrowly lost the US Amateur semi-final to Fitzpatrick? Conners shot a 62 to finish in a tie for sixth at the Canadian Open last Sunday and returns to a venue which holds good memories. 28 year old Schauffele is a long, straight driver of the golf ball - he tied for 13th at the PGA Championship and it's just a case of him putting it all together. Schauffele's U.S. Open record is off the scale - tied fifth, tied sixth, tied third, fifth and tied seventh in all his appearances to date - an each way punters dream. A fantastic ball striker, 24 year old Im enters the US Open in rude health - with three top 15 finishes in a row. World number four Patrick Cantlay is seventh in the betting, which is a reflection of a couple of things; his low-key nature and his weak record in major championships. Intelligent play and an ability to grind should serve him well in this U.S. Open. I feel 28/1 is an insult for him to finish in the top nine and he rates a strong headline selection to confirm his amateur promise and become a major champion. Rory McIlroy is a worthy favourite to win his first major in 8 years following his barnstorming triumph at the Canadian Open. He was like the pied piper last Sunday and his all round game looks strong. His best finish at a U.S. Open is a tie for 15th, which came last year, but he has never missed a cut in six starts. Olympic champion Xander Schauffele is good friends with Cantlay - and like his fellow Californian, he should be a major champion before long. The last major championship to be held at Brookline was the 1988 US Open, won by Curtis Strange. England's Matt Fitzpatrick won the 2013 US Amateur at the course. Be sure to shop around, with bookmakers such as Paddy Power, Coral and SKY Bet offering 1/5 the odds for your pick to get into the top ten places. Golf's third major of the year attracts a top class field, the injured Tiger Woods notwithstanding.

U.S. Open expert picks to win, sleepers to watch at Brookline (Golf.com)

The GOLF.com staff looks at picks to win and sleepers for the U.S. Open at Brookline following Jon Rahm's win last year.

Also like the fact that his iron game is coming back around since he switched to Titleist T100. If he’s striking it well — and he has recently — watch out. The former Open champion has the game to grind it out on brutal layouts. But I said the same thing prior to last year’s PGA Championship. I’m rooting to see the mayhem that would ensue if Phil were to win the one major that has eluded him throughout his career amid all of this LIV Golf controversy. Anyone who has watched Riley this season knows that the guy is no longer a sleeper. Homa has yet to close the deal at a major, but the Open feels like a good chance to do just that: 10 of the past 13 winners have been first-timers. Since winning the Wells Fargo in early May, Homa has continued to hang around the top of Tour leaderboards, including a T5 at the Memorial a couple of weeks ago. That has to count for something, plus, he’s had a pretty solid season this year. And with a T20, 1st and T4 in his past three starts, it’s hard not to love his form coming in. The fairways are a little bit more generous than maybe we’re going to see at a U.S. Open, but it’s a very second-shot-oriented golf course and you have to control your iron play. (And if you’re looking to place any of these bets yourself, we teamed with BetMGM, and the online sports book is offering a new promotion: Make a risk-free bet up to $1,000. Two things that are crucial at a U.S. Open, I think I check the boxes off with that. Absolutely. He won two weeks ago at the Memorial. But listen to Horschel, and he’ll tell you that there’s more to backing him than just being hot.

Steve Palmer's US Open predictions, best bets and free golf tips (Racing Post)

Golf tips, best bets and player analysis for the US Open at The Country Club, Brookline, Massachusetts. Where to watch. Live on Sky Sports Main Event and Golf from 1pm on Thursday. Best bets. Xander Schauffele 3pts each-way 25-1 Hills Shane Lowry

The Southport lad has been enduring a quiet spell, but the long-game on which he has built a great career is coming back, and his short-game has never been in better nick. It is a cross between a traditional parkland course and a links track, with native grass lining the rough and deep bunkers which have fescue around the edges (similar to Merion, 2013 US Open). There will be two cuts of rough inside the fescue lining the fairways. Type of player suited to the challenge This is a second-shot course which demands precision approaches. Dry for the vast majority of the event, with temperatures peaking at 27C on Friday afternoon Taylor Montgomery has been impressing on the Korn Ferry Tour and guaranteed his promotion to the PGA Tour with his eighth-place finish last time out. Montgomery is a four-time Korn Ferry Tour runner-up who finished 57th on his US Open debut last year. Schauffele has been handed a favourable set of tee-times for the first two rounds and can turn them into a Major breakthrough. Rory McIlroy won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the US PGA Championship in a golden fortnight in 2014 - and his army of fans are expecting a similar double after his Canadian Open glory on Sunday night. The cool Californian has never failed to place in the US Open, with ludicrously consistent results of 5-6-3-5-7 in the most challenging Major of them all. Joaquin Niemann appears to have come of age and may be ready to become a Major champion this week. With a windy week forecast and Brookline having such small greens, Lowry should be in his element. McIlroy hit a couple of hooked drives down the stretch in Canada, missed a couple of tiddlers, and his game was not in perfect nick.

McClure's model included Justin Thomas in its best bets to win the 2022 PGA Championship. That bet hit at +1600, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best ...

Who will win the 2022 U.S. Open, which long shots will stun the golfing world, and where will Jon Rahm finish? Rahm also ranks first in strokes gained off the tee (1.194) and fourth in strokes gained tee to green (1.598), two stats that will be extremely important given the tough conditions expected at the U.S. Open 2022. The model is targeting five golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer who will make surprising runs. On the other hand, the model has also examined Rahm's chances to repeat as champion at the 2022 U.S. Open. With a win at Brookline, Rahm will become just the third golfer in the last 50 years to defend his U.S. Open title successfully. In fact, the 27-year-old Spaniard ranks first in greens in regulation percentage (72.34), which leads to more makeable birdie opportunities. Mickelson struggled in the LIV Golf's first 54-hole event, finishing in a tie for 33rd at 10-over-par. He's also a golfer to consider fading in 2022 U.S. Open props and head-to-head matchups. Now that the 2022 U.S. Open is approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. This same model has also nailed a whopping eight majors entering the weekend. Which golfers should you back in the 2022 U.S. Open field? In addition, McClure's best bets included Collin Morikawa winning outright at the 2021 Open Championship, even though he was a massive 40-1 long shot. Rory McIlroy is the 10-1 favorite in the 2022 U.S. Open odds at Caesars Sportsbook after winning the RBC Canadian Open last weekend.

At the U.S. Open, Saving the House That Built Golf (The New York Times)

Francis Ouimet, an amateur who improbably won the 1913 U.S. Open at the Country Club, grew up across the street. Now his home will be given back to the game ...

But Waterman felt there might be a sense of obligation to share the house, and its history, in some way. For Waterman and Hynes, one of their fondest hopes is that the Ouimet house, newly returned to golf, is not done influencing future U.S. Open champions. After that, Hynes hopes to hand off the house to the club. The cost of the restoration swelled. Hynes set about trying to defray the purchase cost by raising money with the intent of donating the house to the club, which could use it for myriad activities, including staff and guest housing on the second floor. The stunning upset by Ouimet, the son of immigrants and a caddie at the club, was front-page news across the nation and has been credited with spawning explosive nationwide growth in the game. Years ago, for instance, what had been the family barn next to the Ouimet house was sold, rebuilt and turned into condominiums. The need-based scholarships can be worth as much as $80,000 across four years of study. In late April, two workers peeled back attic ceiling panels of the 1893 dwelling and then had to duck as a pair of antique golf clubs tumbled to the floor. The location does not look like a landmark to the birthplace of American golf. The humble dwelling astride a tony country club came to represent the two worlds Ouimet daringly traversed when he walked down his unadorned wooden front steps and marched onto the club’s gilded grounds for the last 18 holes of the 1913 U.S. Open. About four hours later, he was carried from the last green on the shoulders of cheering fans. Now his home will be given back to the game, and the course, that made him famous.

Who can win the U.S. Open, and who can't (The Washington Post)

Golf's opposing factions have gathered this week in Brookline, Mass. for the U.S. Open, with those who have stuck with the PGA Tour paired with players who ...

His form hasn’t been great either: After finishing fifth at the Masters, Morikawa hasn’t finished better than a tie for 26th in five events, with a missed cut at the Memorial his last time out. This will be only the fifth major appearance for Young, who is coming off a tie for third in the PGA Championship. He followed that up with three rounds of excellence at the Memorial before a calamitous 12-over-par final round sent him spiraling down the leader board. He hasn’t missed a cut since February’s Honda Classic, though he also has won that tournament — played at the challenging PGA National in South Florida — in the past. I’m putting him here because he’s not accurate off the tee (No. 169 on tour in that department) and has been horrific anywhere close to the greens. The Chilean hasn’t finished better than a tie for 23rd in his past seven major appearances, but he’s made the cut in every one. Since a missed cut in early April at the Texas Open, here are his finishes: 2 (the Masters), 5, 8 (PGA Championship), T-18 and 1 ( last week’s Canadian Open). The world No. 3 is at the peak of his game, and he seems to be on the verge of major No. 5. He’s made the cut in 13 straight events and hasn’t finished worse in a stroke-play event than a tie for 32nd over that stretch, with four top 10s. This season, he has lost strokes around the green at a tournament only twice, on approach only once and off the tee only twice. Thomas was in the final threesome with McIlroy Sunday at the Canadian Open and was tied for the lead late before bogeys on Nos. 17 and 18 doomed him to third place. Schauffele has played in five U.S. Opens and never finished worse than a tie for seventh. - Each of the last 12 winners had a previous top-25 U.S. Open finish on their resume. - Each of the last 12 U.S. Open winners was ranked insidethe Official World Golf Ranking top 30.

Sleeper Picks: U.S. Open (pgatour.com)

Scott Stallings (+600 for a Top 20) … After securing his spot as one of the 13 automatic entrants via Final Qualifying in Dallas on May 23, ...

Currently second on the Korn Ferry Tour in distance off the tee, third in scoring average and T3 in the all-around. The 24-year-old is navigating his second season on the Korn Ferry Tour and currently sits 12th in points after a recent win north of Chicago and a solo fifth in Raleigh, North Carolina. Putting remains his strength, and the big fella is plenty long off the tee, so a solid performance will be defined by smart decisions and crisp irons. Harry Hall (+1200 for a Top 20) … The talented Brit last captured attention in this space at the Shriners Hospitals Open in October and promptly delivered a T8. He sharpened his teeth as an amateur at UNLV and he had just become engaged, so there were all kinds of proper feels in play. Victor Perez (+650 for a Top 20) … Since the pandemic triggered a special, invitation-only field of 144 at Winged Foot in 2020, the USGA has eschewed the old sectional qualifier in England in favor of a series of DP WORLD Tour events to determine 10 exemptions. In fact, it was just three weeks ago and immediately on the heels of earning this berth when he finished T4 at Colonial in conditions that were decidedly not consistent with north Texas in late May. It was further evidence that he’s risen commensurately with the level of the challenge, and that was before the boost of this week’s conflation of positive forces. Currently ninth on the PGA TOUR in greens in regulation and 17th in scrambling.

How much are U.S. Open tickets 2022? Here are the cheapest ... (Sporting News)

The 2022 U.S. Open is set to be played at The Country Club from June 16 through 19. It will cost golf fans that want to attend the event a pretty penny.

It would appear that U.S. Open tickets were slightly cheaper in 2021 than they were in 2022. That may look a lot cheaper than this year's tickets, but it's important to note that those were the ticket prices when the tickets first went on sale in 2021. The Celtics are playing the Warriors in the finals, so that could put a damper on ticket sales for the Boston-based U.S. Open. That will have an impact on the cost of tickets. The 2022 U.S. Open is here and it is poised to be a dramatic one for professional golf. However, Sunday currently has the cheapest tickets available despite being the most exciting day of the tournament. Sure, Tiger Woods sitting out this event may keep the price from shooting through the roof, but the tickets will still cost a pretty penny for those wanting to see if Jon Rahm can defend his first major title. That said, they are still eligible to compete in majors for the time being. While they all seem to maintain cordial relationships, it will be interesting to see exactly what is the tone of this week's competition. Why is that? Given the status of golf's mini-rebellion and the fact that the U.S. Open is one of the four majors, tickets to the event will certainly be a hot commodity. There are several factors that will impact how much a ticket to the U.S. Open might cost in 2022.

The All England Club, where main-draw play for Wimbledon starts on June 27, announced in April it would bar all Russians and Belarusians from its fields — which means the man currently ranked No. 1, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, is not eligible to participate. Belarus has aided Russia in the war. In May, the WTA and ATP said they would not award any rankings points from Wimbledon this year, an unprecedented rebuke of the All England Club. Some players, including four-time major champion and former No. 1 Naomi Osaka, said they would consider sitting out Wimbledon.
