On the PGA Tour this week, one of the majors that has been coming up for a while. This is the 2012 U.S. Open Golf Tournament, possibly the most famous professional golf tournament in the world. It will happen at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, California, from the 14th of June to the 17th. This tournament has an $8,000,000 purse and will also offer 600 FedEx Cup points to the players. The defending champion for this event is Rory McIlroy, who walked away last year with the grand prize of $1,440,000. The next tournament is the CVS Caremark Charity Classic.

You're a spambot, or whatever it's called. But I must make sure everyone knows that The Masters is the most famous golf tourney on the planet...not the U.S. Open.

By far the most famous tourney on the planet is the British Open.

You're right. Thinking globally, The Open Championship is number one.

1. British
2. Masters
3. U.S. Open.
4. PGA Championship/Ryder Cup/ or.....??

I'm looking forward to the u.s open two years from now. It is at Pinehurst in North Carolina. It just happens to be the same week as New Balance Nationals in North Carolina. I can go run the final track race of my high school career and then go about an hour further south and watch the U.S. open.

By the way, I think that the masters is the biggest golf tournament in the world.
