- 2026 USGA Championships Media Guide - U.S. Open The official 2026 USGA Championship Record Book directly enumerates the completed 2024 Championship, champion, explicit date span, and site in Championship Results: 1895 to 2025. The recorded champion and site preserve the higher-resolution register text. The current official U.S. Open Champions table independently confirms the year, champion, and site.
- USGA championship host record Dated USGA host wording Pinehurst R. & C.C. (Course No. 2), Village of Pinehurst, N.C. is explicitly reconciled to Pinehurst Cc in Pinehurst, NC.

- Official Club history and USGA championship records Official USGA results identify Pinehurst R. & C.C., Course No. 2, Village of Pinehurst, N.C.

- 2026 PGA Championship Media Guide The official Media Guide directly enumerates the 19th playing, champion, site, and its year-page date span. The recorded venue and champion preserve the official PGA Championship History entry’s published text. The champion-only winner field is intentionally separate from the official match-play result: 3&2 over Jimmy Thomson.
