It took Scottie Scheffler only nine tournaments this season to surpass his win total from last year. Scheffler won the 2024 Masters for his third victory of the year and his second career major title. He followed that with a win at the RBC Heritage a week later and promptly won the Memorial Tournament over Xander Schauffele. The world’s No. 1 ranked golfer finished in the top 10 in 12 of his first 13 events of the season and enters the 2024 U.S. Open as a sizable 4-1 favorite in the latest 2024 U.S. Open odds. Rory McIlroy has the next shortest odds at 9-1 to win the U.S. Open 2024.
Schauffele (10-1), Brooks Koepka (12-1) and Jon Rahm (12-1) wrap up the five golfers with the shortest odds in the 2024 U.S. Open field. The third major of the year tees off from Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina on Thursday, so should you include Scheffler or any of the more high-profile golfers in 2024 U.S. Open prediction? Before locking in any 2024 U.S. Open picks of your own, entering PGA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, or finalizing U.S. Open props and U.S. Open Pick 6 or PrizePicks entries, be sure to see the 2024 U.S. Open golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure’s model correctly predicted Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 12 majors entering the weekend, including the last three Masters and 2024 PGA Championship. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now with the U.S. Open 2024 approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 U.S. Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 U.S. Open: Brooks Koepka (12-1), a two-time U.S. Open champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles and barely cracks the top 10. Koepka has five major championships overall but he hasn’t been much of a factor in major tournaments since that last victory at the 2023 PGA Championship. In his four majors since then, his best finish is tying for 17th at last year’s U.S. Open. Koepka has finished outside the top 25 in each of his last three major starts, which is one shy of tying a career-long drought.
He’s finished outside the top 15 in four straight appearances at majors and has struggled overall this season. Over his last eight tournament starts, he has twice as many finishes outside the top 25 (four) as he has inside the top 10 (two). Add in that he shot over par in his lone previous start at Pinehurst No. 2, and there are much better values to utilize U.S. Open 2024 bets on. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Bryson DeChambeau, a 20-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win than his long odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 2021 U.S. Open champion finished T-6 at the Masters and second at the PGA Championship in the first two majors of the year. DeChambeau shot a 7-under-par 64 on the final day of the PGA Championship and was nearly able to overtake Schauffele, who held on for a one-stroke victory. DeChambeau finished the tournament at 20-under-par.
The 30-year-old has one of the strongest drivers in the world. He was second in average driving distance at the Masters and tied for first in total strokes gained at the PGA Championship. DeChambeau is playing some of the best major golf of his professional career, coming off his first back-to-back top-10 major results in 10 years competing in them. At 20-1 odds, the model shows value in DeChambeau winning his second U.S. Open over the last four years. See who else to back here.
How to make 2024 U.S. Open picks
The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 20-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
