US Open Odds: Latest US Open Betting Odds & Prices
How will Rory McIlroy fare at the US Open? (Imagn Images) The 2025 US Open begins on 12 June, with the world's top golfers meeting in Pennsylvania to contest the penultimate major of the season. The US Open traces its history back to 1895 and is unique in that it is staged by the US Golf Association rather than the PGA. Unlike the Masters, the US Open changes venue every year and Oakmont Country Club is the setting for the 125th edition of the tournament. Advertisement Betting sites have placed Scottie Scheffler at the top of their US Open betting odds as he bids for back-to-back majors after his victory at the PGA Championship. Masters champion Rory McIlroy has seen his US Open odds pushed out after recent issues with his driver, while reigning champion Bryson DeChambeau is second in the market. This page will detail the best US Open odds. We use the latest US Open golf betting odds from bookmakers to offer readers optimum value when wagering on the third major of the year. Our odds are updated in real time and we've pulled together the best US Open odds for the winner, top five and top 10 markets. All golf betting odds come from our recommended golf betting sites, all of which are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. US Open Golf Odds: Outright Winner The US Open was inaugurated in 1895, with the first ever tournament held at Newport Golf Club in Newport, Rhode Island. Advertisement Horace Rawlins won the first edition, and since then notable winners have included Tiger Woods and Hale Irwin (both with three titles), Bryson DeChambeau (with two titles) and Rory McIlroy, the record holder for the lowest US Open score (with an aggregate of 268). Golf legend Jack Nicklaus is the most successful player in the modern era with four titles, while more recent winners include Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Brooks Koepka. Year Winner Venue Bryson DeChambeau Pinehurst, North Carolina Wyndham Clark Los Angeles Country Club Matt Fitzpatrick Brookline, Massachusetts Jon Rahm Torrey Pines, San Diego Bryson DeChambeau Winged Foot Golf Club, New York US Open Golf Odds: Top 5 Odds The US Open odds on the top five are lower than the outright winner odds, as golfers obviously have a higher probability of finishing in the top five. Advertisement Always check the rules regarding payouts for places as while the majority of betting sites will pay out in the case of a tie for fifth place, some will reduce the amount paid out depending on how many players have finished in a tie for a winning place. US Open Golf Odds: Top 10 Odds Users can find the best US Open odds for the top 10 here. This follows the same principle as the top five, but prices are narrower still, though again there's a good chance to target lesser fancied players to win your bet. US Open Odds Explained Our recommended betting sites are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, ensuring that users have a safe and fair betting experience when using their US Open odds. Advertisement Before having a bet on the US Open, make sure to check your chosen bookmaker carefully to see how many places they are paying out on as many operators will boost the number of places they cover for each-way bets when it comes to the US Open. Bettors can also take advantage of free bets provided by betting sites for bets on the US Open and other major golf events. Check regularly to find the best golf betting odds for your wagers on the US Open. Responsible gambling When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling.

LA situation 'not normal', says striker Ebobisse
Los Angeles FC striker Jeremy Ebobisse has voiced his support for a fan protest against US president Donald Trump's deportation policies. The 28-year-old American said the situation in Los Angeles is "not normal and we can't treat it as normal". Protests began in Los Angeles on Friday after it emerged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were carrying out immigration raids in the city as part of Trump's aim to enact the "biggest deportation operation" in US history. On Saturday, 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed to the city to uphold "very strong law and order" in response to the protests. More than 100 immigrants have been arrested in operations across the city over the past week. In his post-match interview, Ebobisse, who has one US cap, said: "This has been a difficult moment for the city of LA. I live downtown and I've been seeing and hearing everything that's going on. It breaks the heart to see the callous movements that we're seeing in our streets." At Sunday's Major League Soccer match, LAFC independent supporters union 'the 3252' unfurled an "Abolish ICE" banner in the stands prior to kick-off and sat in silence throughout their side's 3-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City. Elsewhere in the BMO Stadium, fans held handmade signs with slogans including "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty" and "Immigrants make America". Police order protesters to leave downtown Los Angeles as Trump says 'bring in the troops' "We're a community, we stand by each other," Ebobisse added. "It's important that in these difficult moments, we reaffirm that and don't back into our corners and be scared because solidarity is the only way through this. "It's not normal and we can't treat it as normal. I fear it's only going to continue to escalate. I'm with the 3252 and anyone who's affected." Pasadena, a city located about 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles, is scheduled to host six matches at its Rose Bowl stadium during the upcoming Club World Cup, beginning with Paris St-Germain against Atletico Madrid on Sunday. Los Angeles will also host matches during the 2026 World Cup, which is being held across the US, Canada and Mexico, before staging the 2028 Olympic Games. LAFC defender Eddie Segura called for unity in the city, saying: "We are united and we are giving this victory to those who are suddenly having a hard time because of this situation." A pre-match statement from LAFC, released on social media in English and Spanish, hailed the city's diversity: "LAFC believes that the true strength of our community comes from the people and cultures that make up the tapestry of this beautiful and diverse city. "Today, when so many in our city are feeling fear and uncertainty, LAFC stands shoulder to shoulder with all members of our community. We are with you Los Angeles."

Resilient Vancouver Whitecaps blank nine-man Seattle Sounders 3-0 to set club record
VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Whitecaps overcame a string of adversity to blank their regional rivals, the Seattle Sounders, 3-0 on Sunday. The result extended the 'Caps (10-1-5) unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer play to a club record 11 games. Homegrown talent Jeevan Badwal notched his first MLS goal in the 40th minute, Mexican striker Daniel Rios scored to cushion the lead in the 70th, and veteran striker Damir Kreilach put away a penalty kick in the 88th. Goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka recorded his eighth clean sheet of the season. The Sounders (7-6-5) went down to nine men early in the second half following a pair of red cards. Seven of Vancouver's 11 starters were listed as questionable for the game after about half of the team came down with a gastrointestinal illness following the CONCACAF Champions Cup final in Mexico City on June 1. The 'Caps were also without nine additional players who have been called up to their national teams, and star attacking midfielder Ryan Gauld, who remains sidelined with a knee injury. Vancouver signed seven Whitecaps FC 2 players to short-term agreements Sunday to bolster their ranks. Six of the players were on the bench at the start of Sunday's game, including central midfielders Jackson Castro and Antoine Coupland, centre back Adrian Pelayo, left back Daniel Russo, right back Nikola Djordjevic and striker John Selemani. The visitors came close to opening the scoring in the 31st minute when midfielder Pedro de la Vega sent a ball skittering along the turf from the top of the penalty area. His shot appeared to deflect off the leg of a Whitecaps defender and sail just wide of the far post. Nine minutes later, a 'Caps rookie got his side on the board. Wing back Edier Ocampo sliced a ball to J.C. Ngando at the top of the six-yard box and he ticked it on to Badwal. The 19-year-old Whitecaps academy product from Surrey, B.C., stuck out his right leg just in time to redirect the ball in past Seattle 'keeper Stefan Frei to make it 1-0. The Sounders controlled 65.1 per cent of possession across the first half and held a 6-5 edge in shots, but the Whitecaps registered the lone on-target shot. Vancouver came into the second half with renewed energy and pressed to create chances. Seattle appeared to get frustrated and the emotions boiled over in the 52nd minute when wing back Nouhou grabbed his Vancouver counterpart Mathias Laborda around the neck and hauled him down as Laborda charged toward the Sounders net. Referee Ricardo Fierro pulled the red card from his pocket, leaving the visitors with 10 men. The 'Caps briefly appeared to double their lead in the 53rd minute when centre back Bjorn Utvik booted a shot in off a corner kick. The goal was quickly called off because Vancouver defender Ranko Veselinovic made contact with Frei as he leapt for a header, hauling the goaltender down and impeding his ability to stop Utvik's shot. Seattle ran into more trouble in the 55th minute when centre back Jonathan Bell made contact with Priso as he charged up the field. Fierro once again pulled out the red card. The Sounders players argued the call, but Bell soon walked off to the locker rooms, leaving Seattle with just nine players on the pitch. Rios boosted Vancouver's lead to 2-0 in the 70th minute, collecting a pass from Priso at the top of the penalty area and firing a right-footed shot in from the top of the penalty area for his second goal of the season. Ocampo had a prime chance to make it 3-0 in the 73rd minute. In alone, the wing back twisted to blast a jumping right-footed shot on target, but Frei dove to punch the ball away. Priso, too, had a chance in the 76th minute with a high shot that appeared poised to sneak in below the crossbar. But the Seattle netminder leapt up and touched it over to keep the score 2-0. Another Sounders foul late in the game proved costly. Midfielder Joao Paulo made contact with 'Caps striker Emmanuel Sabbi inside the area and Fierro signalled for a penalty kick. Kreilach, who came off the bench for Badwal in the 74th minute, stepped up and sent a low ball rolling into the corner of the goal in the 88th minute as Frei dove in the opposite direction. UP NEXT The Whitecaps will be back in action Saturday when they visit the Columbus Crew. The Sounders will start their quest for the FIFA Club World Cup next Sunday against Brazilian club Botafogo. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2025.
