Baltusrol in NJ To Host U.S. Open, Three Other USGA Championships Through 2046

Baltusrol Golf Club will host four USGA championships over the next two decades. This includes the 2046 U.S. Open. The United States Golf Association announced this on July 22.

The Springfield club gets the 2033 U.S. Mid-Amateur and the 2039 U.S. Amateur. It also lands the 2046 U.S. Open plus a future U.S. Women’s Open. When and where the women’s championship happens hasn’t been revealed yet.

These four championships will push the club’s total to 20 USGA events. That’s fourth-most among all clubs nationwide. The 2046 U.S. Open marks the first one since Lee Janzen won in 1993, and the 2033 U.S. Mid-Amateur will be new territory for this venue.

“Few clubs have played a larger role in USGA championship history than Baltusrol, and we’re excited to continue that partnership for the next generation of championships,” said USGA Chief Championships Officer John Bodenhamer, per NJBiz.com. “From the club’s leadership to its membership, Baltusrol has always embraced what it means to host a national championship, and the club has repeatedly proven itself as a stage that identifies deserving champions at every level of the game.”

Founded in 1895, this club has seen seven U.S. Opens. Four U.S. Amateurs happened here. Two U.S. Women’s Opens came through, along with two U.S. Women’s Amateurs and the 2018 U.S. Junior Amateur. Phil Mickelson won a PGA Championship here in 2005, and Jimmy Walker did the same in 2016. Ruoning Yin claimed the 2023 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol, which will also host the 2029 PGA Championship.

Doug Rotatori serves as club president. He said these awards keep alive a championship tradition stretching back more than 100 years.

“Baltusrol has been part of the fabric of American championship golf for more than a century, and we are honored that the USGA continues to entrust our membership with hosting some of the game’s most important events,” said Rotatori. “The 2033 U.S. Mid-Amateur, 2039 U.S. Amateur, 2046 U.S. Open and future U.S. Women’s Open represent an extraordinary run of championships for our club, and our membership and staff look forward to preparing our venue to once again test the best players in the world.”

The Lower Course will host the 2046 U.S. Open. Both courses — the Lower and Upper — will be used for the 2033 U.S. Mid-Amateur and 2039 U.S. Amateur.
