Photos: 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club

The best players in the world have made their way to California for the 123rd playing of the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.

Just days after the new PGA Tour-PIF agreement was announced, golfers from both sides of the golf world are set to battle on the infamous George Thomas design.

Matt Fitzpatrick, a year after outlasting Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, is the tournament’s defending champion. Last week, the Englishman tied for 20th at the RBC Canadian Open.

As for the betting favorite, that honor goes to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who currently sits at +600. Masters champion Jon Rahm is next at +900, while PGA winner Brooks Koepka sits at +1200.

Here are some of the best photos this week from the week in the City of Angels.
