The legendary icons of golf are heading to the historic Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, for the 2026 U.S. Senior Open. The 156-competitor field will tackle a challenging 7,170-yard, par-70 layout that carries immense historical significance.
Scioto Country Club is famously the proving ground where future 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus grew up and mastered the game under the tutelage of teaching pro Jack Grout.
The players this week are fighting for ultimate senior golf glory: the winner receives a prestigious gold medal, custody of the historic Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy for the ensuing year, an exemption into the 2027 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links and exemptions into the next 10 U.S. Senior Opens.
Padraig Harrington won the 2025 U.S. Senior Open and will be looking to capture his third U.S. Senior Open title. In 2025, Harrington outdueled Stewart Cink and Miguel Angel Jimenez on the East Course of The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Harrington faces an elite field of veterans all looking to etch their names into Scioto’s storied history books. Among the marquee names in the field are other major champions like Ernie Els and Vijay Singh, along with Ryder Cup stalwarts Ian Poulter and Colin Montgomerie.
