Quality Pro’s Commitment to Excellence on Full Display at Oakmont U.S. Open Preparations

As the U.S. Open returns to the legendary Oakmont Country Club, a behind-the-scenes look reveals the powerful partnerships and passion driving this historic event. In a recently released video, turf professionals, industry leaders, and volunteers from around the globe shared how Quality Pro has played a pivotal role in preparing Oakmont’s iconic course for championship play.

From the moment guests step into Quality Pro’s 120,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, the impact is immediate. “You walk in… you never see anything like that,” remarked a visiting superintendent. “Everything—from the entrance to the cleanliness, the people, and the passion—is absolutely unbelievable.”

Oakmont’s team, known for its high standards and meticulous attention to turf quality, emphasized that their relationship with Quality Pro goes far beyond a single event. “We could use any product we want,” one staffer shared, “but over the years, we’ve grown more and more confident in Quality Pro. Their passion matches ours.”

This year’s preparations also highlight a spirit of global collaboration. With volunteers coming from as far away as Australia, Japan, and across Europe, logistics like housing, meals, transportation, and uniforms have become a massive undertaking. “Our goal is to make sure every single turf professional has an experience that’s second to none,” organizers stated. “We’ve relied on partners like Quality Pro to make that possible.”

The video features a Quality Pro roundtable event that brought together members of the Elite Advisory Team (EAT), highlighting the shared commitment to innovation, education, and continuous improvement in the turf industry. Discussions covered Quality Pro’s research and development initiatives, its role in reformulating key chemistries, and its growing reputation as a trusted partner.

“The more we learned about their quality control and R&D, the more obvious it became,” one expert said. “They’re doing things differently—and better. It completely changed my perception.”

A final emotional note came as speakers praised the volunteers whose hard work brings the U.S. Open to life: “No way this can happen without guys like you. You are valuable. You are significant. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—let’s make it the best U.S. Open the world has ever seen.”
