To understand why this U.S. Open is poised to be one of the most unique, entertaining major golf tournaments in recent memory, you have to look beyond all the great players.

Sure, it's going to be a blast to see if Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, fresh off the first of what should be many major triumphs at the Masters, live up to their enormous potential on the same weekend and stage a duel for the ages.

Then there is Tiger Woods. Which Tiger will show up? The one with teeth, or the one who posted the worst four-round score of his long and distinguished professional career at the Memorial in his last outing?

Many other players and their games swirl in a virtual kaleidoscope of subplot possibilities. But none stands out as much as the course itself, which remains a mystery even to the few who have already played it much.

"Every hole seems like it is uphill," Woods told USA Today's Steve DiMeglio after playing a practice round.

"It's just hard," Brooks Koepka told Golf Digest's Alex Myers. "You can't relax on one shot. You can't take a shot off. You can't take a second off."

And finally, there is this from ESPN.com senior golf analyst Michael Collins: "Half of the players will be cool with the setup and half will hate it. Quite honestly I think the USGA would be ecstatic with that too. They want guys to be psyched out by it before the tournament even starts."

Chambers Bay not only is the first course to host a U.S. Open in the great Pacific Northwest, but also is the first course ever built specifically with hosting this tournament in mind. Here, we've teed up for you more about that and everything else you need to know about this year's U.S. Open.
