Scottie Scheffler's U.S. Open odds reach heights not seen since Tiger Woods
The U.S. Open is less than 24 hours away, and one of the most prestigious events in all of sports will feature some of the best golfers in the world. Bryson DeChambeau is the player defending this weekend as he put on a spectacular display one year ago at Oakmont Country Club. The LIV golfer will compete with the world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler for a chance to repeat as champion.

The betting landscape is only growing, and bettors are always locked in for major events. With this weekend being the case, a lot of eyes will be watching this tournament.
Scheffler has three wins this season already, earning his third-career major win by winning the PGA Championship at Oak Hill in May. Scheffler is two majors away from the career grand slam, and he could be just one away after this weekend.

According to BetMGM, Scheffler is +275 to win the U.S. Open. That is the highest betting favorite to win the event since Tiger Woods back in 2009, when the best of all time was +175.

On FanDuel's betting odds, Scheffler is +280, followed by DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy to win at Oakmont.
Scottie Scheffler (+280)
Bryson DeChambeau (+700)
Rory McIlroy (+1200)
John Rahm (+1200)
Xander Schaufelle (+2200)
Ludvig Aberg (+2200)
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
There is no doubt that Scheffler will put himself in a position to be victorious yet again. The field is stacked, but Scheffler is playing at the top of his game right now. After winning the PGA Championship, Scheffler turned right around and won The Memorial at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. He ran away with the tournament just as he did at Oak Hill.

Being this big of a favorite to win and being compared to Tiger Woods is another accomplishment on the long list that Scheffler owns. This weekend could put him in a category only legends are in.

American tennis star Coco Gauff makes major change just days before US Open
Coco Gauff is making a big change before her start at the 2025 U.S. Open in New York. The American tennis star has parted ways with Matt Daly, one of her coaches, while bringing in biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan, according to multiple reports. "Only have good things to say about Coco, enjoyed working with her," Daly told Bounces, confirming their split. Why would the 21-year-old make the switch now before the final Grand Slam of the year? The answer may have to do with her serve. Since her shocking first-round exit at Wimbledon, Gauff has struggled with her serve, which plays a tremendous factor in beating the best in the world, especially in tournaments like the U.S. Open. MacMillan has a history of fixing one of the best serves in women's tennis, as world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka used his expertise to correct that part of her game. MacMillan was spotted on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court Wednesday morning as Gauff was hitting with Elina Svitolina. "A lot of things add up, and this could be a really good relationship," ESPN's Darren Cahill told Forbes about Gauff and MacMillan. "He's very thorough. …I've spoken to him many, many times before, and the fact that he's got experience with different athletes from different sports, both male and female, he uses the new technology, he goes to the video a lot, really breaks down the biomechanics." MacMillan is the founder of Sports Science Lab, which specializes in sports performance, fitness, and physical rehabilitation. Gauff's game hasn't been completely off this year, having won the French Open back in May. But her serve has been inconsistent, and she clearly wants to get ahead of that before a tournament many across the U.S. would love to see her win again on home soil. Gauff was the 2023 champion in Flushing, Queens, but she was unable to defend her title in 2024 as she lost in the fourth round. Sabalenka went on to defeat another American, Jessica Pegula, in straight sets to claim the victory. Gauff fired her coach, Brad Gilbert, following that fourth-round exit at the U.S. Open.

Disney's new ESPN flagship streaming app launches Thursday. Here's what we know
Disney is launching its new ESPN flagship streaming app Thursday, just in time for the football season, bringing customers the full ESPN suite in one place. The entertainment company has been working on the launch of the direct-to-consumer app — which is also named ESPN — for some time. It's designed to expand access for existing cable subscribers and give sports fans outside the traditional pay TV bundle access to all of ESPN's content. It's the first time the company is offering all of its linear TV content to customers via streaming. Here's what we know about what the app will look like and how it will work for consumers. Anyone who currently pays for ESPN through their cable service will have access to the ESPN streaming app. For everyone else, the app will come in a variety of options at sign-up. Subscribers can buy into the unlimited plan, which grants access to all of ESPN's networks, for $29.99 per month or $299.99 annually. ESPN says this plan will cover more than 47,000 live events annually, including the NCAA championships, the Australian Open, the PGA Championship and more. Users can also bundle the ESPN unlimited plan with Disney+ and Hulu for $35.99 a month, including ads, or $44.99 a month without ads. At launch, Disney will offer that same bundle at a promotional price of $29.99 per month, with ads, for the first year. There's also another bundle on the way, in October. ESPN and Fox Corp. are teaming up to offer their direct-to-consumer streaming services as a combined offering. Fox's service, called Fox One, also debuts Thursday and includes all Fox content including news and sports. It costs $19.99 a month on its own. The ESPN and Fox One bundle will be available on Oct. 2 for $39.99 per month. However, customers of the pay TV bundle will receive access to each of the streaming apps at no additional cost. Short of the ESPN unlimited offering, the company is also debuting its ESPN select tier. This plan features access to all content available on the existing ESPN+ service, including live sports streaming, a library of exclusive studio shows and original content and on-demand game replays. ESPN says this plan will cover more than 32,000 live events annually. It will cost $11.99 per month or $119.99 annually. Customers can also purchase the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN select bundle, which includes ads, for $16.99 per month, or a no-ads option for $26.99 per month. ESPN+ was the sports network's first foray into streaming, launching in 2018 as a separate app that has exclusive content outside the TV network. While it has some live game simulcasts, it's never housed the bulk of ESPN's content. ESPN+ had 24 million subscribers as of Disney's most recent earnings report. Existing ESPN+ customers will automatically become subscribers of the ESPN select plan under the new service, the company has said. Customers with existing subscriptions to the streaming bundles will be able to watch ESPN content on Disney+ alongside the other programming. ESPN's streaming service will include all of the network's live games, along with programming from ESPN2, the SEC Network and ESPN on ABC. In addition, it will feature fantasy products, new betting tie-ins, studio programming and documentaries, among other kinds of content. The network recently signed two deals to bolster its sports offerings. In early August, ESPN said it was entering a partnership with the WWE for the U.S. rights to the wrestling league's biggest events, including WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam. CNBC reported ESPN will pay an average of $325 million per year for five years of rights. On Wednesday, ESPN and WWE said that deal starts immediately, earlier than previously announced. ESPN also reached a deal this month with the National Football League to acquire the NFL Network in exchange for the pro football league taking an equity stake in ESPN.
