USGA, Oak Tree National Set Dates for 2027 U.S. Senior Open

The USGA, in partnership with Oak Tree National, in Edmond, Okla., today announced that the dates for the 47th U.S. Senior Open Championship have been set for June 28-July 4, 2027, continuing the legacy of the most coveted championship in senior golf.

The 2027 U.S. Senior Open will mark the second time this revered championship returns to Oak Tree National, the first being in 2014 when Colin Montgomerie claimed his first U.S. Senior Open title in a playoff over Gene Sauers. Oak Tree National also hosted the 1984 U.S. Amateur, won by Oklahoma State’s Scott Verplank, who was playing all week on his college team’s home course. The Pete Dye-designed layout also hosted the 1988 PGA Championship and the 2006 Senior PGA Championship.

“The USGA is delighted to bring the U.S. Senior Open back to Oak Tree National and Oklahoma in July of 2027,” said Hank Thompson, senior director of championships for the USGA.  “The venue and surrounding communities provided a wonderful backdrop for our 2014 championship, so there is no doubt the 47th edition will deliver another memorable and exciting experience.”

The 47th U.S. Senior Open will attract visitors and golf fans from across the region and beyond, showcasing Oak Tree National, the Cities of Edmond and Oklahoma City as well as the State of Oklahoma to a global television audience through its broadcast on Golf Channel and NBC with more than 18 hours of live coverage over the course of the week.

“We are thrilled to welcome the U.S. Senior Open Championship back to Oak Tree National,” said Tom Jones, president & COO of Oak Tree National. “This will be a special week for Oklahoma golf fans as we showcase not only the incredible talent of these legends of the game, but also the unique hospitality and spirit of Edmond and the greater Oklahoma City area. For more than forty years Oak Tree National has been fortunate to be a part of golf’s major championship history and we are incredibly proud to continue that legacy."

A highly anticipated field of legendary golfers are expected to tee it up at Oak Tree National in 2027. Recent U.S. Senior Open Champions include Padraig Harrington (2022 & 2025), Richard Bland (2024), Bernhard Langer (2023), Jim Furyk (2021), Steve Stricker (2019) and David Toms (2018). Notable players turning 50 prior to the 2027 championship include the likes of Zach Johnson, Charley Hoffman, Jason Dufner, Geoff Ogilvy and Tiger Woods.

Local and final qualifying sites will be announced in early 2027, and those qualifiers will be conducted in the months preceding the championship before the final field is set the week prior.

Gallery tickets and upgraded hospitality passes will provide access to Oak Tree National beginning Wednesday, June 30, through the final round of competition on Sunday, July 4.  While individual tickets and hospitality passes will go on sale later, corporate hospitality packages, including private and semi-private suites, are currently available for purchase on the championship website.

More than 1,600 volunteers will be needed to help stage the 2027 U.S. Senior Open. Roles will include on-course operations, scoring services, admissions, transportation and gallery management, to name a few. Volunteer registration details will be announced in the spring of 2027. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to sign up on the website to be informed of volunteer details and dates.
