J.J. Spaun Made The Putt Of His Life—But His Performance Didn’t Bring In Viewers

The U.S. Open had everything: an iconic venue, thick rough, fast greens, weather chaos and a 72nd-hole putt to win it all.

But it didn’t have the one thing majors can usually count on: large viewership.

J.J. Spaun’s victory at Oakmont featured the longest made putt of the entire tournament, on the final hole, to win his first major.

Yet the 2025 U.S. Open final round drew just 5.4 million average viewers.

That’s the lowest Sunday audience for a U.S. Open since the COVID-disrupted 2020 tournament at Winged Foot.

LIV Versus PGA Tour At The U.S. Open: Who Showed Up At Oakmont?

We’re three majors deep into the 2025 season and “LIV versus PGA Tour” is still one of the most fun storylines in professional golf.

At Augusta, it was all about Rory McIlroy who captured his first Masters and completed the career Grand Slam. At Quail Hollow, Scottie Scheffler dominated again, claiming his third major. At Oakmont, J.J. Spaun stole the spotlight with a dramatic U.S. Open victory.

So how did the two sides fare at the 2025 U.S. Open?

What stood out

LIV had a smaller group of players participating in the U.S. Open, yet they still had about the same made-cut percentage as the PGA Tour golfers. J.J. Spaun took home the win so we are now three majors in with no sign of an LIV champion in a major event for 2025.

Finding three LIV golfers in the top 10 is impressive.

Could You Knock It Closer With The New Odyssey Chipper?

Odyssey is releasing a new Chipper next week and some of you probably don’t even realize that you should be excited about that.

Admittedly, his release doesn’t evoke the same fanfare as a new Odyssey Square 2 Square or Giraffe Beam release. However, this release has the potential to help a struggling golfer more than a new putter would.

The Odyssey Chipper won’t help you on the green but it will help you get to the green.

Some of you have awful short games

Do you alternate between chunking and blading shots around the green? If so, the Odyssey Chipper is something that you should look into. We did a deep dive about chipper use a few months back and the bottom line is that many golfers could restore some pleasure to their games by adding a chipper to their bags.

Do you need a chipper? How many times a round do you flub a chip? Have you bladed your first chip across the green, following up that shot with an overcorrected chunker?
