Golfing legends have been forged in front of thousands of spectators and millions of fans at the U.S. Open. The U.S. Open has become the measuring stick by which all golfers are judged. The legend Jack Nicklaus and the future legend Tiger Woods both made their worldwide fame by winning the U.S. Open several times. After a devastating injury, Tiger Woods will return to try and take a fourth Open Championship Cup in 2009 to tie Jack Nicklaus and a select few others in all-time U.S. Open wins.
A field of 156 players from the PGA, European, and even amateur ranks are selected each year to battle for the U.S. Open Championship Cup. The constant changing of venues makes sure that one style or player does not dominate the U.S. Open. With only a few select golf icons winning the tournament multiple times, the U.S. Open is a competition of pure golf skill. Still, many upstarts can come from deep in the field and win it all or come close. Rocco Mediate went from an unknown veteran to a household name after pushing Tiger Woods to the limit and an 18-hole overtime. Rocco Mediate came up short, but the U.S. Open lifted him for anonymity.
After a long drought, the international community has once again returned to the top of the U.S. Open. Tiger Woods gave victory back to the United States, but an international player could easily capture the U.S. Open Championship Cup once again. With all eyes on the U.S. Open and a purse valued in the millions, the U.S. Open is the biggest stage in golf. Even with all the talent, a Cinderella story could be just around the corner.
With golf being one of the favorite sports of the world and the international following and media coverage, the U.S. Open has some of the most sought-after tickets in the entire world. Whether you want to see a superstar like Tiger Woods win it all or a European shock the golf world, the U.S. Open cannot be missed. Order your U.S. Open golf tickets from OnlineTickets.com today!
