U.S. Open playoff format: What will happen in 2024 if they need to play extra holes

Editor’s Note: A version of this article previously ran on June 18, 2023. It has since been updated.

The 2024 U.S. Open is already off to a furious start as a few players entered Saturday within two strokes of the lead.

So if you’re here, you’re probably wondering: What’s the playoff format should extra holes be necessary to declare a winner?

We have an answer: Nope, it won’t take an extra full round of 18 holes. Instead: Two holes will be played and total strokes will decide the winner. If there’s still a tie? It goes to sudden death until a winner gets decided.

There you have it.
