For more than a decade, the USGA has hosted 14 major championships each year, and Southern Hills has either hosted (or is slated to host) 13 of them. The only event that is has yet to welcome or that is is not scheduled to host is the U.S. Women’s Open. (Note: The U.S. Adaptive Open has been held for four years, starting in 2022.)<\/p>\n
“Southern\u00a0Hills\u00a0has a long history as host of golf\u2019s biggest championships, and we\u2019re pleased to be returning to this storied venue in the decades to come,” said Mark Hill, the USGA’s managing director of championships, in a release. “Our relationship with\u00a0Southern\u00a0Hills\u00a0spans more than 80 years, and the club\u2019s dedication to excellence gives us every reason to extend it further. We know they will once again create an outstanding experience for players,\u00a0fans\u00a0and the Tulsa community.”<\/p>\n

Southern Hills has evolved with the eras, reshaped by some of the game\u2019s most influential architects. Robert Trent Jones and Keith Foster each left their imprint over the decades, but it was the 2019 restoration by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner that most deliberately turned back the clock, peeling away layers of modernization to reveal A.W. Tillinghast disciple Maxwell\u2019s original vision.<\/p>\n
