The US Open has been suspended due to severe weather conditions. For the 2025 U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont Country Club, play was suspended because of dangerous weather, including heavy rain, flash flood warnings, and lightning threats, making the course unplayable and unsafe for players and spectators. The final round was halted when rain caused standing water on the course, and the USGA stopped play for safety reasons. In tennis, the 2025 US Open has also experienced suspensions, especially due to rain on outdoor courts, with play halted until courts dry or moved under roofs where possible. Extreme weather protocols, including rain and lightning delays, have caused interruptions and rescheduling in the tournament.
