Since 1945, and every year since, FootJoy has been the golf shoe of choice at the professional level. That’s 80 consecutive years of the best players in the world choosing FootJoy for the ultimate combination of comfort, style and performance.
The first breakthrough was in 1927 when FootJoy sales rep, Miles Baker, convinced the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup that the team should be wearing FootJoy golf shoes in the inaugural matches at Worcester Country Club, which they did, en route to a 7 point victory. Johnny Farrell, a member of that U.S. team, liked the shoes so much he wore them to victory in a 36-hole, one day playoff at the 1928 U.S. Open. This was the first of more than 8,000 victories by professionals wearing FJ shoes.
Srixon’s Ryan Fox continued his hot run on the PGA TOUR, capturing the 2025 RBC Canadian Open in another thrilling playoff victory – marking his second win in just four weeks.

Echoing his performance at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic just weeks earlier, Fox once again rose to the moment. With his Srixon ZXi Fairway Wood in hand, he delivered a pinpoint approach shot on the par-5 18th, leaving himself inside 12 feet and setting up the decisive birdie putt to claim his second PGA TOUR title.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced that three additional players have earned full exemptions into the 125th U.S. Open Championship, to be contested June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club, bringing the number of fully exempt players to 87. Additionally, five alternates from final qualifying were added to complete the 156-player field.
Ryan Fox, of New Zealand, earned an exemption based on the current Official World Golf Ranking®/OWGR®. He moved up 43 spots to No. 32 after winning yesterday’s RBC Canadian Open in a playoff with Sam Burns. Fox, who will play in his seventh U.S. Open, also won the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic on May 11 with a birdie on the first playoff hole. The 38-year-old has received the top player award on the European Tour (now DP World Tour) and PGA Tour Australasia. He won the DP World Tour’s flagship event, the BMW Championship, in 2023.
This is the 125th U.S. Open Championship. The U.S. Open, which was first played in 1895, was not contested for two years (1917-18) during World War I and for four years (1942-45) during World War II.

The oldest winner is Hale Irwin, who was 45 and playing on a special exemption when he won his third U.S. Open title in 1990. Irwin also won in 1974 and 1979.
