U.S. Open 2025 odds, betting, lines: Scottie Scheffler is the biggest favorite in 16 years
The 2025 U.S. Open tees off Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in suburban Pittsburgh, and Scottie Scheffler (+275 at BetMGM) is the overwhelming favorite to win. Scheffler has the shortest odds heading into a U.S. Open since Tiger Woods was a +175 favorite in 2009, according to Sports Odds History's database. Scheffler, the top-ranked player in the world, has won three of the last four tournaments he's played in, including the 2025 PGA Championship by five strokes over the field. Scheffler has been incredibly consistent as well, finishing in the top 11 in 10 of the 12 tournaments he's entered this season. Advertisement He's such a big favorite that BetMGM is even offering a proposition wager where bettors can take Scheffler (+275) or the entire field (-400) to win the tournament. Not surprisingly, Scheffler is the most-bet player by total wagers (17.8%) and total dollars wagered (31.3%) at BetMGM. Scheffler also represents the biggest liability for the sportsbook of any golfer. Defending U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau (+750) is the only other player with single-digit odds and has the second-most tickets (12.8%) and handle (16.7%), along with the second-biggest liability. Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy have the next-best odds at 12-1. McIlroy finally won his first Masters in April, but most recently missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open this past week. He is the third-biggest liability at BetMGM. Advertisement Xander Schauffele (22-1), Collin Morikawa (25-1) and Ludvig Aberg (25-1) are the only other players with odds better than 30-1. Jordan Spieth (50-1), Brooks Koepka (66-1), Dustin Johnson (125-1) and Phil Mickelson (250-1) are a few former major winners with longer odds.

Five others – Eric Cole, Chase Johnson, Doug Ghim, Takumi Kanaya and Riki Kawamoto – got in off the alternates list. Matthew Jordan, also an alternate, received a spot in the wake of Sahith Theegala's withdrawal due to his recent neck injury. The U.S. Open's final qualifying on June 2 added 47 names. The championship will also include 15 amateurs, 14 LIV golfers and 11 past champions, including defending U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau. Between now and the first tee shots Thursday, there could be last-minute changes, but the remaining alternates and second alternates from various Final Qualifying sites will have to wait and see if anyone else chooses to drop out ahead of the start of the 125th U.S. Open.

It will be fun," Fox noted in a press conference on Sunday after winning the Canadian Open. Advertisement "I've heard it's a fantastic golf course. It's hard, the greens are tricky. They're going to be running scary fast. From what it looks like, the rough is straight hack out. It's going to be a little different than this week," Fox added. "... Probably going to take it easy on Monday and try to figure out Oakmont in two days and see what happens. It's nice to be in the field, that's for sure."
