This was the first U.S. Open in Wisconsin, but marked its fifth major, following four editions of the PGA Championship. The PGA was played in 1933 at Blue Mound in Wauwatosa, and at Whistling Straits near Kohler in 2004, 2010, and 2015.
The purse was a record for a major at $12 million, and the winner's share exceeded $2 million for the first time, at $2.16 million.
