When is the US Open on Sky Sports?

The men's major season continues this month at the US Open, with extended coverage from The Country Club in Brookline exclusively live on Sky Sports.

Jon Rahm returns as defending champion after earning his maiden major victory in last year's contest at Torrey Pines, while world No 1 Scottie Scheffler will be aiming to build on a dominant start to 2022 that has seen him win four times on the PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods is listed in the field although yet to confirm whether he will be fit to feature, having withdrawn after his third round at last month's PGA Championship through injury. Phil Mickelson on Monday confirmed he would return from his golfing sabbatical to play in this week's LIV International Series opener. He stated he intends to play in the majors.

Justin Thomas is targeting further major success, having won the PGA Championship for the second time last month after a brilliant final-round comeback, with reigning FedExCup champion Patrick Cantlay and Australia's Cameron Smith among those chasing a maiden major victory.

Reigning Open champion Collin Morikawa and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy will arrive in Boston among the favourites, while many of the field will have previous experience of playing the course earlier in their careers when it hosted the 2013 US Amateur - won by England's Matt Fitzpatrick.

The iconic venue hosts the event for the first time since Curtis Strange's victory over Sir Nick Faldo in 1988, with the course also the location of Team USA's dramatic victory in the 1999 Ryder Cup.
