Scottie Scheffler Big Favorite in 2024 U.S. Open Championship

It’s time for the third golf major of the year, the U.S. Open will take place June 13-16. Once

again, Scottie Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite, and rightfully so. He’s the best golfer on

the planet despite what happened at Valhalla. All charges against him have been dropped and

now he can concentrate on winning his second major of 2024. When it comes to the wagering

side of the tournament, the U.S. Open seems to attract larger odds as we saw Wyndham Clark

with at 100/1 last year. Another thing to keep in mind, over the last 8 winners the average price

of the champion has been almost 40/1.

The Favorites

Scottie Scheffler (+325)

He’s the top golfer in the world and his betting odds have been short favorites at every major

this year. His recent run of four wins in five starts is the main reason his odds are so low. And

he’s coming off another win, this time at the Memorial. Scheffler has finished in the top-20 in

every tournament in 2024, including eleven top-8 finishes. Sure, he’ll likely be in contention on

Sunday, but there will be value elsewhere if you really want it.

Rory McIlroy (+1200)

Rory McIIroy’s first major came back in 2011 in the U.S. Open when he won by eight shots.

Since then, no other wins but he’s had 5 straight top-10 finishes including runner-up in 2023.

This year, McIIroy has one win and has been playing much more consistently. Can he put

together four solid rounds at Pinehurst and win his second U.S. Open?

Xander Schauffele (+1400)

Xander Schauffele was always considered the best player to never win a major but that

changed when he won the PGA Championship a few weeks ago. Aside from Scheffler,

Schauffele has been the most consistent golfer out there this season. Nine top-ten finishes, two

runner-ups, a third and fourth place finish. The run he’s on, he could win his second straight

major in North Carolina.

Longer Shot Plays

Wyndham Clark (+6000)

We haven’t seen a back-to-back winner since 2017-2018 when Brooks Koepka did but if you

think Wyndham Clark is capable of repeating, the value is definitely there. He’s No. 4 in the

world, has a win and 3 other top-three finishes. He’s been hot and cold but if he can catch fire

at Pinehurst, Clark is capable of hanging around until Sunday.

Sahith Theegala (+7000)

Sahith Theegala is the No. 12 player in the world and has played well of late. While he missed

the cut at the Canadian Open, he has five top-ten finishes and two runner-up finishes.
