This story has been updated to include new estimates of protest crowd size.
Demonstrators filled the streets of U.S. cities and towns in coordinated “No Kings” events, billed as a “national day of peaceful protest,” in the largest outpouring of opposition to Trump‘s policies since he returned to power in January.
The mostly calm marches, organized under the theme that no individual is above the law, coincided with the day President Donald Trump hosted a military parade on the streets of the nation’s capital.
At least one demonstration, about 70 miles from Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia, was met with violence when a man intentionally drove an SUV through a crowd of departing protesters, striking at least one person, police said. Police in Los Angeles hit protesters with batons, fired tear gas and ordered a large crowd in downtown to disperse; authorities said they were responding to people throwing “rocks, bricks, bottles,” and “fireworks” at officials.
Activists in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans. supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they view as a power grab by the Trump administration.
Some protests took on a festive atmosphere, while others were more tense, involving confrontations with counterprotesters. 
Members of the far-right Proud Boys appeared at a “No Kings” protest in Atlanta, wearing the group’s distinctive black and yellow colors.
In Minnesota, organizers canceled protests across the state out of an abundance of caution after a shooter targeted local lawmakers, killing one and her spouse at their home and injuring another lawmaker and his spouse at their residence. In a statement, the “No Kings” group said it was adhering to guidance from Minnesota State Patrol and Gov. Tim Walz, who urged people not to attend any rallies Saturday.
In Florida, marchers came as close to Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach estate, as police would allow and were met there by Trump supporters. Tens of thousands marched in Philadelphia, where the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence.
More gathered in northern and southern California for protests, marches and a car cruise. Organizers drew attention, ahead of the events, to the marches planned in Los Angeles, where President Donald Trump called in the National Guard and the Marines after some protests over immigration enforcement raids spiraled into violence.
About 2,000 protests and rallies were planned nationwide.
“I have a lot of family members that are immigrants and basic human rights are being taken away on a daily (basis),” Los Angeles resident Beatriz Pérez, 27, told USA TODAY in the lead up to the city’s protest.
Perez added that she hoped the country’s leaders “have a change of heart.”
The largely peaceful protests during the “No Kings Day” demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Division.
“People in the crowd are throwing rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects,” police said via social media. “Less lethal has been approved. Less lethal may cause discomfort and pain. It is advised that all persons leave the area.”
Officials reported about an hour later that “commercial grade fireworks” were being hurled at officers at Temple Avenue and Main Street.
Photographs showed protesters reacting to tear gas and dispersing as sheriff’s deputies and police cleared the area.
The police on horseback and other officers used flash-bang grenades and tear gas to push people around the federal building, which has been a focus of much of the protests, Reuters reported.
Videos posted by Patch show the officers on horseback swinging what appear to be batons as they back the demonstrators away from the area.
Shortly before 5:40 p.m. local time, authorities reported a peaceful march was making its way out of downtown L.A., west into the Rampart area; however, they reported that “agitators” continued to cause issues downtown.
Aerial footage from ABC 7 later showed police deploying tear gas and flash-bang grenades about 6 p.m. Police advised protestors that the curfew for the area was in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The American Civil Liberties Union, a part of the coalition that put on the demonstrations, said in a late Saturday, June 14, statement that more than 5 million people participated in over 2,100 rallies and protests.
Political organizing group Move On, which was a partner in the “No Kings” rallies, echoed the 5 million-person estimate in a fundraising email.
Jeremy Pressman, the co-director of the Crowd Counting Consortium – a Harvard University and University of Connecticut project that estimates political crowds – told USA TODAY June 15 that it will take “some time” to complete an estimate on the “No Kings” rallies.

Thousands of people of all ages turned out in and around Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, many carrying homemade signs that played off the “No Kings” theme. “No crown for a clown,” said one. Actor Mark Ruffalo was among the demonstrators, wearing a hat that read “immigrant.”
“We’re seeing dehumanizing language towards LGBT people, towards people with autism, towards people with other disabilities, racial minorities, undocumented people,” said Cooper Smith, 20, from upstate New York. “Somebody’s got to show that most Americans are against this.”
Protesters in downtown Chicago stood off against police on Saturday, with some waving upside-down American flags and chanting: “Who do you protect? Who do you serve?” and “No justice, no peace.”
About 400 protesters organized by RefuseFascism.org marched through Washington, D.C., and gathered for a rally in a park opposite the White House. Trump had warned people against protesting at the parade itself, saying, “They’re going to be met with very big force.”
Sunsara Taylor, a founder of RefuseFascism, told the crowd, “Today we refuse to accept Donald Trump unleashing the military against the people of this country and in the streets of this country. We say, ‘hell no.’”

Wisconsinites in more than 50 towns and cities took to the streets on June 14, as part of what organizers said was the largest nationwide protest against President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.
In downtown Milwaukee, organizers estimated the crowd reached almost 10,000 people, according to Alan Chavoya, a protester with the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. Protestors chanted and sang in Cathedral Square Park, before marching a mile loop around part of downtown.
“This is what democracy looks like,” Chavoya said.
Janey Christoffersen, 49, of West Allis, said she was attending a protest for the first time, motivated by local reports of federal arrests of immigrants.
“It was a no-brainer to be here,” Christoffersen said, speaking through tears. “I want to get out of my comfort zone to show people that we love and care about them, that the whole country is not angry.”

As a protest wound down in Culpeper, Virginia, a man intentionally drove an SUV through the crowd of departing pedestrians and struck at least one person in the parking lot, police said in a statement on social media.
The Culpeper Police Department identified the driver as Joseph R. Checklick Jr, 21. Police said they have not yet identified the person who was hit and no injuries have been reported to law enforcement.

Protesters brought traffic to a standstill at an intersection one block west of Los Angeles City Hall, where a massive crowd had assembled across the street. Motorists blared horns in joyful revelry as passengers waved American and Mexican flags.The commotion took place a couple of hundred yards from the Los Angeles Police Department’s downtown headquarters. An LAPD helicopter circled overhead.Lt. Shawn Svoboda was one of about two dozen LAPD officers watching – and making no effort to clear the mob or the intersection.Svoboda said the LAPD didn’t want to escalate the situation for something that amounted to a traffic violation. And so the horns blared, flags waved and rubber burned as one muscle car revved its engine and filled the air with smoke.Svoboda said officers would not break up the affair, but that the 8 p.m. curfew would be enforced.

The demonstrators outside the White House are dispersing after more than an hour of protesting.
Hundreds are headed home, to the metro, and back to their hotels.
Leo Pargo, one of the event’s organizers, said they have no plans to protest the parade beginning at 6:30 p.m.

About 1,000 people gathered Saturday in downtown Wooster for the ‘No Kings’ rally despite scorching heat.
Demonstrators held handmade signs and chanted under banners that read “No Kings,” “There Are No Illegal People” and “Protect Our Neighbors.”
“It’s just not normal,” said Mark Johnson, 53, of Wooster. “We have U.S. Marines and National Guard troops being used against American citizens.”
“Ever since he took office, it’s been building,” said Megan Duckworth, 34, of Ashland. “Calling in the Marines on your own people? It’s horrifying. And what happened in California, that was the tipping point for a lot of us.”
“I feel scared,” said Lola Franks, who came with fellow Wooster resident Debbie Idle. “My father was a World War II vet. He’d be appalled to see what’s happening now. We’re seeing authoritarianism creep in. We’ve seen this before and it doesn’t end well.”
The rally drew a cross-section of the community − students, veterans, retirees, families and first-time demonstrators, many of whom cited the same issues of militarization, mass deportations and erosion of democratic norms.Bill Bostancic, 99, stood beneath a handmade sign that read “Democracy Takes Work.”“I’ve seen a lot in my lifetime; sometimes too much,” he said. “But I’ve never seen anything like this. If you don’t work at democracy, it slips away.”
After a roughly 2-mile protest route, thousands made their way back toward the steps of Los Angeles’ City Hall and Grand Park to hydrate, gather and simply stand in solidarity against Trump’s mass deportation efforts in the city.
Across the street from Grand Park — where many people stayed put, recharging and getting some shade in the 80-degree, sunny weather — organizers kept the energy going in front of City Hall steps. A lively crowd, hundreds strong, was standing in the streets when a fitting call and response went up.
“Whose streets?” “Our streets!”
Isabella and Mark Garcia were among those sardined in the street. They said they attended a protest last week and officers targeted them with non-lethal munitions.
Two hours into the “Kings Day” march, there were no visible confrontations with law enforcement. “It’s the same (as last week) except they’re not shooting at us today,” they said.

Tens of thousands of people headed into Philadelphia for what was expected to be the “major flagship” event of the “No Kings” protests. Anticipation rose and rain fell as demonstrators flooded past the perimeter of LOVE Park, waiting for the official start of the march. 
The front lines of the protest made it to the Museum of Art just shy of 1 p.m. with cheers and a chant of “U.S.A.” Helicopters continued overhead, joining the sounds of the march and music coming from numerous speakers attached to the stages, platforms and risers on the museum’s lawn.
The event began with a performance from local band Trash Boy, before Bishop William J. Barber gave an impassioned speech to the crowd.
Hundreds of attendees could be seen leaving Saturday’s rally early, heading down Benjamin Franklin Parkway just after 2 p.m. as speakers continued.
The rain that began earlier in the day seemed to dampen the mood for some, but not all. Kevin Reilly and Eric Reisman from the Ambler area said they’re happy with how the protest went. 
“It was peaceful,” Reisman said. “A smash success.”
Reilly’s son’s girlfriend is moving here from India, he said, growing emotional. “She’s really afraid. I want her to feel welcome.”
While there had been a strong police presence throughout the protest, no major incidents were reported by the time the crowd began to dissipate.

Police arrested a man hours after the Texas State Capitol and grounds in Austin were evacuated on June 14 ahead of a planned protest after a credible threat to lawmakers, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
A state trooper arrested a man in connection with the threats during a traffic stop in La Grange, Texas and police said there was no additional threat.
A protest against President Donald Trump, dubbed the “No Kings” event, was beginning at the Texas Capitol around 5 p.m. CDT. Police around the United States were on high alert after a gunman posing as a police officer killed a Democratic state lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota in an apparent politically motivated assassination, and wounded a second lawmaker and his spouse, state officials said.

A large crowd gathered peacefully for a “No Kings” demonstration at the Arizona State Capitol. Some held signs stating, “I’m not part of a MAGA agenda!” and “Hey Trump! Nobody paid us to be here! We all hate you for free!”
As speakers took to the stage in Phoenix, participants tried to stay cool amidst the rows of white pop-ups set up for groups and vendors. A National Weather Service forecast called for a high of 109 degrees and an extreme heat warning to begin at 10 a.m. 
Sara Wester, of Mesa, 23, attended the protest with her mother, Lynn Dumais. She carried a sign that read “LEAVE YOUR MAGA HUSBAND.”
The mother-daughter pair braved the heat because they felt strongly about exercising their right to protest.
“It’s our duty. It’s our right, it’s our Constitutional right. And fighting for standing up for what you believe in is one of the biggest things that makes America America,” Wester said.

In Nanuet, New York, people lined all the sidewalks along an intersection known as the “Four Corners.” It’s been the site of various demonstrations going back at least 50 years.
Clarkstown police and protest organizers had a calm and detailed discussion about perimeters. Vehicles honked frequently in the heavily traveled corridor, earning appreciative cheers from the crowd.
By noon, the demonstration had swelled to well over 1,000 protesters and Clarkstown police could be seen putting up more orange barriers as a buffer between the roadway and sidewalk.
Ciara Sweeney, of Pearl River, made hand-painted posters with a caricature of Trump behind bars and the words “IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT CRIMINALS BUT THE PRESIDENT IS.” She and her mother turned out for the day’s demonstration to counter the military parade in D.C., “just to show there are protests everywhere. People think people have given up,” Sweeney explained. “That’s not true.”
Sweeney said it was important to show up in the suburbs, too. “Don’t count out Rockland County,” the 20-year-old said.

The crowd could not have been more delighted when a 20-foot balloon of Trump wearing a diaper was inflated and made its way through a sardined crowd at the Los Angeles’ Gloria Molina Grand Park.
Timmy Vu of Los Angeles found himself almost in the direct path as the balloon was led onto the street as March began. “Probably a good representation of our president,” Vu said with a smile as a woman yelled, “Make room for the balloon.”
Vu, 32, said he came to the rally mostly to “get ICE out of LA.”
As protestors caught sight of about a dozen National Guard members lined in front of federal buildings, they chanted “out of LA” at them. The chants didn’t prompt a reaction from the National Guard, and one man expressed what looked like frustration to one of the guards close to his face. Another woman was heard thanking them for their service.
Brent Blair showed up to the protest with his 16-year-old daughter, Amara Blair, and two sons, ages 10 and 6.”This country is in crisis; we’re upside down. We are slipping really fast into a fascist dictatorship,” said Brent, a professor at the University of Southern California.
His two younger sons stood nearby holding up their homemade signs. For Brent’s daughter, Amara, exercising her First Amendment rights isn’t new — she was protesting with her father at a young age when Trump was first elected into the White House in 2016.”It is so important to protect our people,” Amara said. “We have a president that doesn’t respect us at all and we all deserve to be safe and to feel safe.”

There weren’t any “No Kings” protests originally scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. during Trump’s military parade, but reports early Saturday afternoon show a small demonstration beginning to form.
A group called “Refuse Fascism” started assembling in Logan Circle with about 500 people reportedly marching to Lafayette Park just in front of the White House.
“Fascist America – We say no! Now’s the time for Trump to go,” the crowd chanted, according to the NBC affiliate in Washington.

A La Quinta man threatening violence at a “No Kings” rally has been arrested, the Palm Springs Police Department announced Saturday morning.
Edward Miranda, 28, allegedly threatened to commit a shooting at the Palm Springs “No Kings” rally, police said on social media.
Police became aware of the threat, which was posted online, and worked with the FBI to identify Miranda and locate him at his residence. He was taken into custody without incident and is expected to be charged with one felony count of criminal threats and a misdemeanor count of threatening to interfere with civil rights.
Law enforcement executed search warrants at two residences and located a firearm belonging to Miranda, PSPD said. Police did not say in their post if Miranda remained in custody.
“We take all threats to public safety seriously and will vigorously pursue those intent on committing violence in our community,” Chief Andy Mills said in a statement. “Thanks to the vigilance of a community member who saw something and said something, along with the tireless efforts of our PSPD detectives and FBI partners, we were able to identify and apprehend the suspect, ensuring the safety of tonight’s event.”
Thousands gathered at the south end of the Indiana Statehouse. By Saturday afternoon, an organizer of the 50501 “No Kings” protest, tracking the crowd with a clicker had counted more than 4,150 people.
Among them was Leland Lindahl, 47, who said he voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“As soon as January 6 hit, I immediately regretted it,” Lindahl said.
Lindahl said while he doesn’t agree with everything some of the protesters believe, he came to the Statehouse because he didn’t want to sit on his couch and complain — he wanted to take action.
Other protesters displayed signs that were largely handmade with markers, paint and printed photos on cardboard and posters. With a light rain falling, several people opened umbrellas, including some with protest signage attached to them.
As the rain intensified, protesters began to march and chant, “America has no kings,” and passing cars honked to cheers of those gathered. The organizer directed protesters to grab whistles from a bucket to alert others if they became involved in a confrontation with a counter-protester.
Indianapolis police detained one protester after he ripped a pro-Trump flag from the hands of a counter-protester. The counter-protester ran after him but tripped and fell. His left elbow was bleeding as he showed officers his scuffed knee.

On the steps of Metro Hall in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, protesters began gathering before noon, carrying signs that read “No kings in America” and “Dictator or democracy: That’s the choice.”
Drivers honked their horns as they passed the demonstration, spurring cheers from the crowd. Ponchos and umbrellas came out as a short rainstorm passed over.
Tom Scharff was among those who gathered early.
“The hatred that exists, that (Trump has) generated, has got to stop,” he said, explaining why he chose to attend. “Democracy has got to come back in full.”
Scharff cited the administration’s crackdown on immigration, including the deployment of the military in Los Angeles, as issues he is concerned about.
“Now they’re taking people off the streets,” he said. “It’s not America.”

Though other groups have plans to protest in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, there aren’t any “No Kings” protests planned in the city, where Trump will hold a parade Saturday evening to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The anniversary also falls on Flag Day and Trump’s 79th birthday.
Roughly 60 protesters were arrested in the district on Friday after a few pushed down a bike rack, crossed a police line, and ran towards the steps of the U.S. Capitol, Capitol Police said in a statement.
The “No Kings” protests are meant to oppose what demonstrators see as Trump’s power grab. The number of planned events is nearly double that of the April 5 “Hands Off” protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide. 
Organizers of the “No Kings” demonstrations and local officials urged demonstrators to stay home from planned protests in Minnesota on Saturday after a lawmaker and her husband were fatally shot and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes. Gov. Tim Walz called the incident a “politically motivated assassination.” 
“Governor Walz has recommended that we cancel No Kings events across the state of Minnesota because the individual who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker is still at large,” organizers said in a statement on their website. “For the safety of all involved, we are cancelling all Minnesota events not already underway.”
Authorities found papers with “No Kings” written on them in the back seat of the suspect’s vehicle, Col. Christina Bogojevic with the Department of Public Safety said.
There was no evidence of a specific threat to the “No Kings” rallies; however, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said authorities were sharing the information about the papers found so the public remains informed.
At City Hall in Los Angeles, sheriff’s deputies fanned out at the top of the steps as people began to gather in advance of one of several protests planned across the city. 
Reggae music, the sound of helicopters overheard and the smell of freshly cooked hot dogs being sold by vendors for $10 a piece greeted arrivals.
As the crowd quickly swelled to about 1,000 people, hundreds of others gathered around a speaker: Shannon Rivers on a bullhorn. Rivers is a member of the Akimel O’odam (River People) Nation and is an Indigenous Peoples human rights activist.
Other members of the Native American group played drums and some held signs that read, “No one is illegal on stolen land.” Los Angeles is the ancestral land of the Tongva People.
“Stop talking about immigrants,” Rivers said. “All of you are immigrants. Everyone one of you. We’ve accepted you into our territory — sometimes reluctantly, but we’ve done it. We are here today, we are standing in solidarity.”
Many among those gathered near City Hall have brought signs with messages including: “The Only Minority Destroying America Are Billionaires,” “L.A. Heat Melts I.C.E.” and “United We Stand Against Hate.”
And then there was the sign Victor Ceron carried to the barricade midway up the steps at City Hall and held it high so the sheriff’s deputies fanned out across the top could see it.
It read: “Brown Won’t Back Down.”
Ceron, who said he is a 39-year-old, first-generation Mexican American, said he wants the world to see the sign so people know, “We are a resilient people.”
He said it was his first protest, and he came alone. “But I’m thinking of my parents and my son. He’s the future,” added Ceron, who said he was born and raised in Los Angeles.

Protesters are showing up for the planned 9 a.m. Saturday protest at Redding City Hall in Shasta County in Northern California to say, “We don’t fall for the fear-mongering, we want ICE out of California, and we won’t let our elected officials be attacked,” said Redding resident Brooke McGowen, who attended similar past protests.
Hundreds of people also gathered in the morning for the “No Kings” rally in Cathedral City in Southern California’s Coachella Valley on Saturday. They lined the street near the Cathedral City Civic Center.
Protesters carried an array of signs that said things like “We Don’t Need A Nepo-Baby King,” “Get the Faux King Out of Our White House,” and “A Woman’s Place is in the Resistance.” They were chanting “Trump Must Go!”
Coachella Valley residents will also march and cruise from Coachella to Rancho Mirage on Saturday.

“No hate, no fear. Immigrants are welcome here,” marchers chanted in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Cars driving by honked in support, drawing cheers from the marchers. Thunder clapped loudly as the rain became steadier.
James Neal, 50, of Enid, said he came to Oklahoma City to protest the “rise of authoritarianism in the country and defend the constitution.” A U.S. Navy veteran, he wore a shirt that said, “Not on my Watch.”

A “No Kings” march took place June 13 in downtown Columbus, Ohio and Indivisible Central Ohio brought the same themes into its float at the Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival and March on Saturday.
Protestors with the group gathered around a white parade float styled after the White House. “No kings in the White House,” read a banner across it.
People carried signs stating, “No kings, no dictators, no billionaires, no bullies”; “We the people means everyone”; and other slogans.
Mia Lewis, organizer for Indivisible Central Ohio and a member of Common Cause, said her group was there to protest because the rights of LGBTQ+ people are under attack by the Trump administration, along with the rights of immigrants, women and refugees.
“We the people do not accept a president who is trying to overthrow our democracy,” Lewis said. “We do not accept that Donald Trump is trying to be a king. … So many things he is doing run counter to our democracy.”

More than a thousand people marched in Wilmington, Delaware, on the morning of June 14 as part of the “No Kings” day gathering.
Demonstrators began organizing before 9 a.m., when the first speakers addressed the crowd. Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester was one of the initial speakers, followed by Gov. Matt Meyer. Meyer served as grand marshal as speakers wrapped up and the “parade” got underway around 9:20 a.m.
The governor stirred the crowd by quoting Simon Wiesenthal, an Austrian Holocaust survivor, Nazi hunter and writer: 
“For evil to flourish, for evil to flourish, it only takes one thing for evil to flourish, for evil to flourish,” Meyer quoted. “It only requires that good women and men be silenced for evil to flourish; it only requires that good women and men be silent.”

At exactly 10 a.m., attendees, young and old, migrated from the shade of Phipps Park’s ficus trees to begin their march toward Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach estate. Some chanted into megaphones and others seemed content to nod along.
Daniela Childers, a 31-year-old therapist from West Palm Beach, stood alone among the crowd of demonstrators gathered at the park ahead of the march. She said she’s a generally anxious person who had abstained from protests before, but decided she could no longer watch from the sidelines.  
“I’m here at my first protest to basically show dissent to the current administration that I disagree with completely,” she said.

The largest protest effort is expected in Philadelphia. Major protests are also scheduled in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Phoenix and Los Angeles, while sympathetic protests have cropped up in other countries.
The largest “No Kings” protest on June 14 is expected to take place in Philadelphia as a nod to the country’s history and to avoid accusations that protesters are opposing the Army parade in the nation’s capital, organizers have said.
“We made that choice to not feed into any narrative that Trump might want that we’re counter-protesting him directly or give him the opportunity to crack down on protesters,” Levin said.
The Philadelphia protest begins at LOVE Park at the corner of Arch Street & North 15th Street at noon. At 12:30 p.m., the crowd plans to march down the Ben Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where several people will speak. It is expected to end at about 3 p.m.
The Association of the United States Army is also hosting its own celebration for the 250th anniversary of the Army in Philadelphia over three days that started Friday, for which the city closed parts of several roads and altered bus routes.
Sherri King woke up at 6 a.m. to head to the Philadelphia protest from her home in Elkton, Maryland. 
“I just think it’s important because I’m an American citizen and we have to live by the constitution, and Trump is not obeying the constitution from what I see,” King said while finishing her protest sign in LOVE Park. 
“We don’t need no kings in America. We have a democracy,” King said.
Much of the central and eastern parts of the country are expected to see showers and some storms on Saturday, with the chance for severe thunderstorms affecting protests in parts of the northern High Plains states of Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska.
Forecasters said flash flooding is a concern in Virginia and North Carolina on Saturday.
Meanwhile, parts of the West are expecting a hot, dry heat with temperatures up to 110 in the Desert Southwest. Read more.

J.J. Spaun managed the rain and tough course at the challenging Oakmont Country Club to win the 2025 U.S. Open, the first major victory for the California-native.
The scores weren’t pretty in the final round as the majority of the field shot over par as the worst weather of the weekend came up for championship Sunday. Yet the man that was in first place with a bogey-free first round weathered the storm three days later.
Spaun finished the tournament at -1, the only golfer with a final score card under par. Even though he shot +2 on the final round with five bogeys on the first six holes, Spaun closed out strong with four birdies in the back nine. That includes a magnificent 64-foot putt on the 18th and final hole to secure the title.
USA TODAY Sports had full coverage of the final round of the 2025 U.S. Open. Scroll below for the leaderboard and a full recap of the action.
➤ Complete U.S. Open leaderboard
J.J. Spaun just pocketed $4.3 million as the winner of the 2025 U.S. Open, taking home the biggest earnings from the $21.5 million total purse, which the U.S. Golf Association revealed ahead of the tournament.
Both the prize money and the purse amounts are the highest of the four major golf tournaments and are the same as last year’s, when Bryson DeChambeau took home the title with a one-shot victory over Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst Resort, Course No. 2 in North Carolina.

What a way to win your first major.
On the 18th hole, J.J. Spaun could have taken two putts to secure victory with his ball was 64-feet away from the cup. But he only needed one, sinking the shot in from long distance to secure the title.
Spaun and the crowd on hand were in a frenzy as the ball went in to solidify the win at Oakmont.
A birdie on the par-4 17th puts J.J. Spaun in first place as he’s set to tee off on the final hole of the day.
Robert MacIntyre has set himself up for a possible win, finishing the final round at 1-over-par and a tie on top of the leaderboard. Two birdies and a bogey-free back nine have put him in solid position as the rest of the field continues play.
There’s a new golfer on top of the leaderboard, the same man that led after the first round.
J.J. Spaun is now in front with an even par score, as birdies on the 12th and 14th holes have propelled him into first. Even though he’s 3-over-par on the day, Spaun has been better than most of the field as the struggles at Oakmont are apparent. Sam Burns was 4-under-par for the tournament entering the day, but he’s +5 on the day and now in the tie for second at +1.
Oakmont is proving how tough it is as the the final group of golfers are on the back nine, and no one is under par. Sam Burns has held onto his lead, but a double bogey on the par-4 11th hole has pushed him back to even, one shot ahead of second place Adam Scott and Carlos Ortiz.
After more than 90 minutes of stoppage due to weather, golfers are back on the course to continue the final round.
Play resumed at 5:38 p.m. ET, and the hope is there will be enough daylight to finish the last round on schedule, and not have to play on Monday, June 16.
Play is expected to resume at 5:40 p.m. ET, the United States Golf Association announced. The delay is expected to last just over 90 minutes.
The threat of showers and thunderstorms was always looming in the forecast for Sunday’s final round at Oakmont.
Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped.
The timeline for stoppage of play has not been determined.
Two bogeys in his first five holes dropped third-round leader Sam Burns into a tie for the lead with Australian Adam Scott.
Burns drove into a left-side bunker on the 422-yard, par-4 fifth hole and had to pitch out into the fairway. From there, he hit an approach from 107 yards onto the green and two-putted for bogey.
Scott, playing in his 96th consecutive major tournament, had a pair of bogeys in his first three holes. But he righted the ship with a birdie at the par-5 fourth to get back to 2-under.
Two-time major champion Jon Rahm gave the rest of the field a number to shoot for, carding a 3-under-par 67 to finish the tournament at +4. The 2012 U.S. Open winner at Torrey Pines birdied his final three holes to get into the clubhouse in a tie for ninth place — seven shots behind leader Sam Burns.
The world’s No. 1 player begins Sunday’s final round at Oakmont looking to make history. At 4 over par, Scottie Scheffler sits eight shots behind 54-hole leader Sam Burns.
No one in history has come from that far back on the final day to win the U.S. Open. But if anyone has a chance to break a legend’s record, Scheffler would be a great choice.
Arnold Palmer came back from seven shots behind leader Mike Souchak in the final round to win at Cherry Hills in 1960. He shot a final-round 65 to overcome a star-studded field that also included 20-year-old amateur Jack Nicklaus, 47-year-old Ben Hogan and 48-year-old Sam Snead.
The biggest comeback at Oakmont in the nine previous U.S. Opens there – and the second largest comeback ever in this championship – came in 1973 when Johnny Miller rallied from six back to win.
Scheffler’s biggest comeback in his pro career was from five strokes behind at the 2024 Players Championship. He also won the Olympic gold medal in Paris that year, rallying from four shots back with a final-round 62.
However, the U.S. Open is a different animal. Scheffler hasn’t broken par in any of his last eight rounds in the tournament.
The winner of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club will pocket $4.3 million as the U.S. Golf Association announced this week that the total purse will be $21.5 million.
Both the prize money and the purse amounts are the highest of the four major golf tournaments.

Dealing with a wrist injury, Canadian Corey Conners has withdrawn from Sunday’s final round at Oakmont. Scheduled to tee off at 10:20 and paired with Ryan Fox, Conners informed tournament officials he would not be able to play.
TSN golf analyst Bob Weeks reports Conners initially suffered the injury on Thursday when he struck a hidden cable while playing a bunker shot. He reinjured it Saturday swinging at a plugged ball in a bunker on hole No. 11. Conners was at +3 and inside the top 15 after the front nine on Saturday, but played the back nine in five over par to end the day +8 and tied for 40th place.

A dentist working in Mississauga, Ont., was one of those who died on board the Air India flight, when it crashed shortly after takeoff in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Thursday.
A family friend of Dr. Nirali Patel confirmed to Global News she was on board the failed flight heading from India to London, England, which led to the deaths of at least 240 people.
Patel worked as a registered dentist in Mississauga and lived in Etobicoke with her husband, who is also in dentistry, and their young child.
Her family friend, Don Patel, who knew her through volunteer work in the Toronto area, said Nirali’s family was in shock.
“For her husband, it was really shocking and devastating news,” he said, adding she’d headed to India for social visits with friends and family and was planning to return soon.
Don said Nirali’s family had flown to India as soon as news of the crash came through.
He said the family was grateful for the support it had received, including from the prime minister, but wanted privacy.
Nirali graduated from a dental college in India before moving to Canada, according to a biography posted on the website of her clinic, the Heritage Dental Centre.
She was a hardworking person who believed in giving back to the community and volunteered at a free dental camp every year, the page reads.
“The feeling that my work has made a difference in someone’s life brightens my day,” Nirali is quoted as saying about why she became a dentist.
News of the crash came on Thursday morning, when a Boeing 787 crashed shortly after takeoff, killing at least 240 people on board and on the ground.
Just one person survived the aviation disaster, which videos show involved a fiery explosion.
Premier Doug Ford shared a statement after the tragedy and offered his condolences to the family.
“I’m saddened to learn that a Canadian from Mississauga, Ontario, was among those lost in the tragic Air India crash near Ahmedabad,” he wrote on social media.
“On behalf of the people of Ontario, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of every victim. We are keeping you in our thoughts during this difficult time.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney also expressed shock and sadness at the crash.
“Devastated to learn of the crash of a London-bound Air India plane in Ahmedabad,” Carney wrote on X. “Canada’s transportation officials are in close contact with counterparts and I am receiving regular updates as the response to this tragedy unfolds.”
His Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, called the events “heartbreaking beyond words.”
“In this sad hour, my thoughts are with everyone affected,” he said in a social media post.
The flight was carrying 169 Indians, 53 Britons and seven Portuguese nationals in addition to the lone Canadian, according to Air India. The plane crashed five minutes after takeoff at 1:38 p.m. local time.
