The third of four major championships sees the U.S. Open head to Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania from June 12-15.

Bryson DeChambeau snatched Rory McIlroy's fifth major title from underneath him on the 72nd hole last year, but World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is still the man to beat in these U.S. Open odds.

Scottie Scheffler (+450 to +500)

Despite returning from an injury to his right hand to kick off 2025, Scottie Scheffler has looked pretty close to his normal self, and anything close to Scottie's normal self will be good enough to make him the favorite at Oakmont. 

He's winless at the U.S. Open but did log three straight Top-7 finishes between 2021 and 2023, including a career-best T2 in 2022. His time to hoist the U.S. Open trophy is coming.

How to read U.S. Open odds

Betting odds for the U.S. Open, like other sporting events, can be presented in various formats, including American odds, fractional odds, and decimal odds. However, American odds are commonly used in the United States for sports betting. Here's how to read U.S. Open betting odds in American format:

Positive odds: Positive odds indicate the potential profit on a $100 bet. They are typically associated with underdogs or less likely outcomes.

For example, if you see odds of +500 on a golfer winning the U.S. Open, it means a $100 bet on that golfer would potentially yield a $500 profit if they win. Your total return would be $600 ($100 stake plus $500 profit).

Negative odds: Negative odds indicate how much you need to bet to profit $100. They are usually associated with favorites or more likely outcomes.

For instance, if you see odds of -150 on a golfer to win the U.S. Open, it means you would need to bet $150 to potentially win $100 in profit. Your total return would be $250 ($150 stake plus $100 profit).

Whether positive or negative, the odds provide insight into the perceived likelihood of a golfer winning the tournament. Higher positive odds indicate that the golfer is less likely to win but could yield a higher return if successful. Lower negative odds suggest that the golfer is favored to win but may yield a smaller return due to the higher probability of success.
