PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp is expected to announce sweeping changes to the tour’s future next week, with a re-imagined schedule at the core of the proposal. One of his biggest stars, however, doesn’t appear sold.

Everything you need to know about the five Australians in the field at the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills, including player profiles and how to watch.
Eight years and seven tournament wins around the world later, Lucas Herbert has vowed to not make the same mistakes at Shinnecock Hills as he did on debut when he returns to the US Open for the first time in three years.
