2025 U.S. Open: Scottie Scheffler trying to ignore his status as a massive favorite at Oakmont — 'I had to get rid of my Venmo'
Don't go after Scottie Scheffler if he doesn't win at Oakmont Country Club this weekend. He isn't paying attention to that noise anymore. After constant chirping from fans either one way or the other, the top-ranked golfer in the world — who is a massive favorite this week at the U.S. Open amid his wild tear through the sport — has taken some precautions. He doesn't want to be on the hook for any bets. 'I think everybody hears from fans whether they have a financial benefit or anything in their outcome. That's why I had to get rid of my Venmo because I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn't win,' he said. 'It wasn't a good feeling.' Advertisement Scheffler opened this week as a +275 favorite at BetMGM, which made him the overwhelming favorite to win the third major championship of the season. He has the shortest odds to win a U.S. Open since Tiger Woods was a +175 favorite in 2009. Woods ended up finishing four shots back from Lucas Glover, who claimed his first and only major win, that week. Based on how Scheffler's played lately, it's easy to understand why he's such a big favorite. Scheffler has won three of his past four starts, including a five-shot win at the PGA Championship last month. He has not missed a cut in 12 starts, and he's finished inside the top-10 nine times. He's not finished worse than T8 in his past seven starts, which included a fourth-place finish at the Masters. Scheffler is coming off a win at the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago; he skipped the RBC Canadian Open last week. Advertisement Last year, when Scheffler finished T41 at the U.S. Open, he came straight from the Memorial Tournament. 'Having the week off was really important for me to get home, get some rest, recover, and I showed up here on Sunday and was able to play maybe 11 holes and really get used to the conditions,' Scheffler said. 'It feels much more like my normal major prep versus last year where you're coming in from basically a major championship test, coming into another one is pretty challenging.' A win this week for Scheffler would give him his fourth major championship of his career, and put him just a British Open victory away from completing the career grand slam. It'd also mark his 17th career win, 12 of which will have come within the past 15 months. He's the easy pick to win this week outside of Pittsburgh, as made clear by his ridiculous odds. But, as many golfers in the field this week will tell you, winning at Oakmont with its brutal rough and seemingly endless bunkers is no easy task. Scheffler, at least as best he can, is trying to tune it out before he tees off Thursday afternoon.

2025 U.S. Open match-up picks, predictions: Corey Conners vs. Jordan Spieth, Ben Griffin vs. Shane Lowry
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. The U.S. Open kicks off Thursday at one of golf's most iconic venues, Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. Scottie Scheffler is a historic favorite after a dominant showing during the PGA Championship, but there are plenty of other betting opportunities to target. Here's a look at a couple of matchups we're targeting for this weekend's action. Corey Conners vs. Jordan Spieth Corey Conners has been one of the breakout PGA Tour stars of 2025. The Canadian has five top-10 finishes so far this season and has proven to be a cut-making machine, playing the weekend in 14-of-15 starts, including 13 straight since falling short at the Sony Open in January. Since mid-February, Conners has finished 30th or better in 10 of 11 tournaments he's entered. Jordan Spieth, who is slightly favored to finish ahead of Conners this weekend at Oakmont, has been more of a wild card of late. He's missed the cut just twice this year, but Spieth has finished outside the top-30 in four additional tournaments, suggesting he's having a hard time putting four solid rounds together. Conners has finished ahead of Spieth in both majors this season. Look for the up-and-comer to do it again this weekend. The play: Corey Conners to finish ahead of Jordan Spieth (-105, BetMGM Sportsbook) Ben Griffin of the United States prepares to play a shot on the third hole during a practice round prior to the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 10, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Getty Images Ben Griffin vs. Shane Lowry Ben Griffin comes into the U.S. Open as the hottest player in golf outside of Scottie Scheffler. Over his past three tournaments, Griffin has won the Charles Schwab Challenge, finished second at the Memorial, and finished T-8 at the PGA Championship. He's a big underdog to beat out Shane Lowry this weekend, despite playing as well as anyone in the field. Lowry has enjoyed a strong season, with two runner-up finishes and two additional top-10s, but he's struggled during the majors, finishing T-42 at Augusta and missing the cut during the PGA Championship. The Irishman is a much more familiar name to the average golf fan, but Griffin is the hot hand to ride in this matchup. The play: Ben Griffin to finish ahead of Shane Lowry (+110, FanDuel Sportsbook) Why Trust New York Post Betting Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports. He's particularly knowledgeable about the big three — MLB, the NFL and the NBA.
