Golf's Longest Day, the US Women's Open and Everything You Need to Know Before Shinnecock | GOLF LIVE The two biggest weeks in golf are here. The US Women's Open at Riviera is underway. The US Open at Shinnecock Hills is two weeks away. The major season is at its peak and Golf Live has everything you need to know heading into the most compelling stretch of the golf calendar. Trey Wingo and Justin Ray break it all down. Golf's Longest Day The summer solstice and the US Open week arriving simultaneously is not a coincidence — it is one of golf's great annual traditions. The longest day of the year and the hardest test in golf colliding at exactly the same moment. Shinnecock Hills in Southampton New York is one of the most historic and demanding venues in the history of the game. The USGA wants to identify the best player in the world by making everyone else uncomfortable. Long rough. Firm greens. Narrow fairways. Unforgiving conditions. The US Open is the one major where par feels like a victory. Nelly Korda and the US Women's Open at Riviera On the women's side the US Women's Open at Riviera is the biggest stage of the season. Nelly Korda is the dominant player in women's golf right now — the standard against which everyone else is being measured. Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez are among the names worth watching. The conversation around who is in the mix and who has the game to win at Riviera is one of the most compelling in women's golf in years. Justin Ray — the Tiger Woods of golf research — brings the data and the historical context that puts every name and every number in the proper perspective. Rory and Scottie Ahead of Shinnecock On the men's side the conversation heading into the US Open starts and ends with two names. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. Rory is riding one of the great stretches of his career — Masters champion, runner-up at the PGA Championship, and now heading to Shinnecock with the kind of momentum that makes every golf fan believe this could be the year he completes something historic. Scottie Scheffler is the number one player in the world and the standard of consistency that nobody else in the game can match right now. What does Shinnecock demand from both of them? What does the course favor? What does the history of this venue tell us about who wins and who struggles? Trey and Justin get into all of it.
