The Broadmoor Hosts 134,000 Fans...Better Than Some Recent Majors!

As the KPMG LPGA Championship was played before below-average-sized crowds (ok there was practically no one all week at steamy Kemper Lakes), the U.S. Senior Open drew 134,000 fans for the week, reports the USGA's Jeff Alstadter. 

The welcome site of big crowds for a close final round battle came in sharp contrast to club-championship-sized galleries watching the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour's final groups Sunday, though in the case of the Quicken Loans National, there were very healthy galleries on site. Just elsewhere following a certain golfer.

The Broadmoor crowds were a welcome sight just a few weeks after the U.S. Open failed to sell-out at Shinnecock Hills despite a ticket limit of 30,000 a day. Does my math dare suggest the U.S. Senior Open week gave the U.S. Open a run for total bodies to walk through the gates?

Either way, the famed resort and Colorado Springs were rewarded with a 9th USGA championship, the 2025 U.S. Senior Open.
