The 126th US Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., runs June 18–21 with the USGA’s most extensive remote-viewing package to date: more than 46 hours of live broadcast coverage across NBC and its platforms, a shot-tracking tool covering every player in the field, and a redesigned app that generates AI round recaps within minutes of each player signing their scorecard.
“We want fans everywhere to feel like they have a front-row seat,” said Jon Podany, the USGA’s chief commercial officer. “We’ve built a digital experience that ensures no moment, and no player, goes uncovered.”

The USGA App, built by Deloitte, introduces “Your US Open,” a personalized feed of insights and highlights tied to fans’ favorite players. For the first time, every player in the field will receive an AI-generated round recap in their profile within minutes of finishing. The app also features a redesigned tee-time display, an updated statistics hub, and live leaderboard access from the iPhone lock screen via Live Activities.
A dedicated section called “The Course” lets fans explore all 18 holes of William Flynn’s design through hole-by-hole scatter plots and real-time data on how Shinnecock Hills is playing.
Range, Radio, and More
RangeCast, presented by T-Mobile, provides live and on-demand 3D shot tracking from the practice range on usga.org and the USGA App, with full ball-flight data and championship statistics.
