2024 U.S. Open odds: Scottie Scheffler favored at Pinehurst No. 2

2024 U.S. Open Odds

Scottie Scheffler is once again the outright betting favorite at +280 odds to win the U.S. Open this week following his win at the Memorial Tournament by one shot over Collin Morikawa.

The two-time major championship winner had been the best on the PGA Tour by a wide mile from tee to green in his first five starts in 2024, but he was also losing strokes with his putter, as the flatstick prevented him from winning in January and February.

Following his worst putting week of the year at Riviera in The Genesis Invitational, Scheffler switched putters from a blade to a mallet and hasn't looked back. Scheffler has now won five of the eight tournaments since that putter change and has only finished lower than a tie for second once in that eight-tournament span.

Per Justin Ray on X (formerly known as Twitter), Scheffler is the first golfer to enter the U.S. Open with five or more PGA Tour wins including a major championship that season since Arnold Palmer all the way back in 1962.

Scheffler is looking for his first U.S. Open victory this week after finishing in the top seven each of the last three years, including a tie for second in 2022 and a solo third in 2023.

Rory McIlroy has the second-shortest odds to win this week's U.S. Open at 11-1 odds as of Sunday evening at bet365 as he chases his fifth major championship. The 2011 U.S. Open winner has finished in the top 10 in five consecutive U.S. Opens, including last year when he was solo second behind Wyndham Clark.

McIlroy won just four starts ago in dominant fashion at the Wells Fargo Championship and has three worldwide wins this season overall. He tied for 23rd when the U.S. Open was last played at Pinehurst No. 2.

Martin Kaymer won the last U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2014 by a commanding eight shots at nine-under par, and he is 200-1 to win his third major championship this week. Kaymer does not have a win since that U.S. Open victory in 2014 and has just one top-15 finish this season in eight LIV Golf appearances. He made the cut at the PGA Championship in his lone start outside of LIV Golf this year when he tied for 73rd.

Xander Schauffele won the most recent major, the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, and enters with the third-shortest outright odds this week at 12-1 to win his second career major. The San Diego State Aztec has been the second-best golfer in the world in 2024 and tied for eighth at the Memorial Tournament in his first start since the PGA Championship.

15-time major winner Tiger Woods will tee it up this week with 125-1 odds to win at Pinehurst No. 2. The Big Cat will play this week on a special exemption after his five-year exemption into the U.S. Open following his 2019 Masters win expired.

He finished in 60th place at the Masters and missed the cut at the PGA Championship in the prior two majors this year and will make his first U.S. Open appearance since 2020 this week.

The other golfers in the field with outright odds of 20-1 or shorter at bet365 on Sunday evening include:

• Viktor Hovland (+1400)
• Collin Morikawa (+1400)
• Bryson DeChambeau (+1800)
• Ludvig Åberg (+1800)

Some other notables in the field this week and their outright odds include Brooks Koepka (+2500), Jon Rahm (+2500), Justin Thomas (+4500) and Jordan Spieth (+6000).
