Mike Whan knows as much as you do about the PGA Tour’s proposed partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Which is to say, not much at all.

Seven Australians will tee up at the 2023 US Open as Los Angeles Country Club pulls back the curtain on one of America’s most exclusive and lavish golf clubs.
The PGA Tour winner, Full Swing legend and one of the funnier guys in golf received a taste of his own medicine upon entering Los Angeles Country Club this week.

Among the 22,000 spectators anticipated for Thursday’s first round at the U.S. Open, however, will be two teenagers from Australia you’ve never heard of: promising amateur golfers Joseph Buttress and Jeffrey Guan.
They are journeymen, and you will hear about their journeys this week because they qualify as feel-good stories. But they’re also something more, because in a past week and year when everything in the game of golf has seemingly had a dollar sign attached, they are stories that are priceless.
This marks the sixth time since 1999 the championship has been played on a course that’s never previously hosted a US Open, joining Pinehurst No.2 (1999), Bethpage’s Black Course (2002), Torrey Pines’ South Course (2008), Chambers Bay (2015) and Erin Hills (2017).

The R&A and USGA have a lot more work to do to convince PGA Tour players that a rollback of the golf ball is in their best interest or the best interest of the game overall, judging by the players’ reaction to a presentation by the governing bodies and several manufacturers Tuesday at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
Two major champions highlighted a field of US Open hopefuls Monday in Dallas with one advancing via a 36-hole qualifier and the other falling just short.
