The PGA Tour has arrived in Los Angeles, California for the 2023 U.S. Open. Some of the biggest golf stars will gather on the North Course of the LA Country Club this week, including defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. This year's tournament comes during a controversial time for the PGA, which recently announced its decision to merge with the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV Golf to create a new golf league.

There will no doubt be some tension on the green at this year's U.S. Open.
