Once<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>again, Scottie Scheffler is the overwhelming favorite, and rightfully so. He\u2019s the best golfer on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the planet despite what happened at Valhalla. All charges against him have been dropped and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>now he can concentrate on winning his second major of 2024. When it comes to the wagering<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>side of the tournament, the U.S. Open seems to attract larger odds as we saw Wyndham Clark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>with at 100\/1 last year. Another thing to keep in mind, over the last 8 winners the average price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of the champion has been almost 40\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Favorites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scottie Scheffler (+325)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s the top golfer in the world and his betting odds have been short favorites at every major<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>this year. His recent run of four wins in five starts is the main reason his odds are so low. And<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>he\u2019s coming off another win, this time at the Memorial. Scheffler has finished in the top-20 in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>every tournament in 2024, including eleven top-8 finishes. Sure, he\u2019ll likely be in contention on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, but there will be value elsewhere if you really want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rory McIlroy (+1200)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rory McIIroy\u2019s first major came back in 2011 in the U.S. Open when he won by eight shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, no other wins but he\u2019s had 5 straight top-10 finishes including runner-up in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, McIIroy has one win and has been playing much more consistently. Can he put<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>together four solid rounds at Pinehurst and win his second U.S. Open?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xander Schauffele (+1400)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xander Schauffele was always considered the best player to never win a major but that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>changed when he won the PGA Championship a few weeks ago. Aside from Scheffler,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schauffele has been the most consistent golfer out there this season. Nine top-ten finishes, two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>runner-ups, a third and fourth place finish. The run he\u2019s on, he could win his second straight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>major in North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Longer Shot Plays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wyndham Clark (+6000)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen a back-to-back winner since 2017-2018 when Brooks Koepka did but if you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>think Wyndham Clark is capable of repeating, the value is definitely there. He\u2019s No. 4 in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>world, has a win and 3 other top-three finishes. He\u2019s been hot and cold but if he can catch fire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>at Pinehurst, Clark is capable of hanging around until Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sahith Theegala (+7000)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sahith Theegala is the No. 12 player in the world and has played well of late. While he missed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the cut at the Canadian Open, he has five top-ten finishes and two runner-up finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds To Win The Open 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scottie Scheffler +325<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rory McIlroy +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xander Schauffele +1400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collin Morikawa +1500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viktor Hovland +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ludvig Aberg +2200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brooks Koepka +2200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon Rahm +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameron Smith +3300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent Winners And Odds History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YEAR CHAMPION ODDS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2023 Wyndham Clark +10,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 Matt Fitzpatrick +3,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 Jon Rahm +1,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2020 Bryson DeChambeau +2,200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2019 Gary Woodland +8,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2018 Brooks Koepka +2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2017 Brooks Koepka +3,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2016 Dustin Johnson +1,500<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time for the third golf major of the year, the U.S. Open will take place June 13-16.
