The U.S. Open playoff format is a two-hole aggregate.
This is unlike most PGA Tour events, where it’s a sudden-death single-hole. This means players would play two pre-determined holes, and the lowest total score would be the winner.
If players are still tied after the two-hole aggregate, a sudden-death playoff would be played.
The U.S. Open has yet to see a two-hole aggregate playoff, as it was implemented in 2018. Prior to that, it was an 18-hole playoff on Monday.
Last U.S. Open Playoff
The last playoff in the U.S. Open was in 2008 when Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate at Torrey Pines.
It was an 18-hole playoff held on Monday.
