The United States Golf Association announced Oak Tree National in Edmond will be the host site for a future U.S. Senior Open Championship.
The golf course in Edmond is set to host the tournament in 2027, after the 2026 tournament at Scioto Country Club, in Columbus, Ohio, and before the 2028 tournament at Crooked Stick Golf Club, in Carmel, Indiana,
“The USGA is pleased to be returning to Scioto Country Club, Oak Tree National and Crooked Stick Golf Club as host sites for the U.S. Senior Open,” USGA chief championships officer John Bodenhamer said. “Each club has a distinguished history of hosting national championships and promoting professional and amateur competition."
Oak Tree National is home to many well-known PGA Tour professionals, including USGA champions Viktor Hovland, Kevin Tway, Scott Verplank and Willie Wood.
“On behalf of the Oak Tree National members, we are thrilled to partner with the USGA in bringing a major sporting event to the state of Oklahoma,” Oak Tree National owner Everett Dobson said.
The 2027 U.S. Senior Open will be the third USGA championship to be played at Oak Tree National, the first was played in 1984, and the second in 2014.
The U.S. Senior Open is open to professional golfers and amateurs with a Handicap Index not exceeding 3.4, who are at least 50 years of age by the start of championship play, according to the USGA.
The field of 156 players will compete in two rounds of stroke play, after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties for the final 36 holes.
