6 essential items you need to carry if you are attending the 2024 US Open Major

The 2024 US Open will begin this week on June 13 at Pinehurst Golf Course No. 2. There are 156 golfers on the field, and fans are eager to watch some of the best players in the world compete on a challenging course.

The US Open is arguably the second most popular Major after the Masters, and usually, it is a packed house on all four days. So, if you are one of the lucky fans visiting Pinehurst Golf Course No. 2 for the tournament, here are the six essential items you need to carry:

#1 Water Bottles - Since the weather might be humid for the week, fans should ensure they stay hydrated. Even though plenty of mocktails and other beverage options are available on the course, it is best to carry your water bottle (32-ounce size or less) to fill in the hydration station and stay hydrated.

#2 Sunscreen and hats - The temperatures might range between highs of 86° F to lows of 68° F. Hence, cool clothing, hats, and sunscreen are recommended on hot sunny days. The sunscreen in bottles and tubes must be 3.4 ounces or fewer.

#3 Rain Protection - With rain expected for the weekend, it is best to carry some rain protection like an umbrella or raincoats for the 2024 US Open.

#4 Cards - There are plenty of shops and other stalls at the 2024 US Open. However, all of those will be cashless, so you must carry your debit/credit card for the event.

#5 American Express Cards - American Express and US Open are long-term partners. If you have an Amex card, you can visit the American Express Card Member Club with two guests, subject to capacity limitations. You will also receive a 10% discount at all on-site concession stands and merchandise tents if you pay with an Amex Card.

#6 Footwear - The US Open requires substantial walking on the grass, dirt paths, and uneven surfaces. Hence, it is essential to wear appropriate footwear like sneakers or shoes.
