At the 2026 US Open, held from June 18-21 at Oakmont Country Club, LIV Golf players underperformed significantly. According to verified results, only one LIV golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, finished in the top 20, tying for 12th place at 2-over par. Other LIV players, including Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, missed the cut or finished well down the leaderboard.
The US Open, a major championship, saw LIV Golf's 16-player contingent struggle on the challenging Oakmont course. DeChambeau's performance was the best among them, but he was never in serious contention for the title, which was won by a non-LIV player. The league's players have faced criticism for their lack of competitive play in traditional PGA Tour events.
This result continues a trend of poor showings by LIV Golf players in majors since the league's inception in 2022. The 2026 US Open marked another disappointment for the Saudi-backed circuit, as its stars failed to challenge for the trophy. No LIV player has won a major since the league's formation.
