US Open Favorites, Contenders & Longshots | MyBookie PGA Betting Preview of the Golf Tournament
Next US Open PGA
The 2024 US Open is set to take place on Thursday from Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst North Carolina.
This will be the 124th event. The course is a par 70, more than 7,500 yards.
Wyndham Clark is the defending champion, as he beat Rory Mcllroy in Los Angeles a season ago.
Jack Nicklaus, Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan have the most titles, with 4, while Hale Irwin is next with 3, but his last one coming in 1990.
Let’s take a look at the US Open Favorites, Contenders and Longshots for the 2024 event.
US Open Favorites
Scottie Scheffler
All the guy does is win.
He just won $4M for winning the Memorial Tournament.
He won the RBC Heritage in April, along with the Masters. He is simply the best player in the world right now.
He is doing everything well, but his proximity to the hole at 34 feet, and his strokes gained tee to green have been ultra impressive.
It is Scheffler’s to lose.
He starts the event at 3/1 odds to take it down.
Betting Scottie Scheffler
US Open Favorite Pick:
PGA Odds: +300 | Betting US Open Lines MyBookie’s Lines for Third Golf Major
Rory Mcllroy +1000
Rory was the runner up a season ago at the US Open.
Rory has not won the event since the 2011 season.
It has gone overlooked due to the nature of how well Scheffler has played.
Mcllroy is second in driving distance, smacking it over 318 yards per time.
Betting Rory Mcllroy

Xander Schauffele +1200
Ranked second in the world, he has been good all over the course as well.
16th in greens in regulation and 5th in scrambling.
Those are both impressive, and he sits with a 69.4 scoring average.
He can go toe to toe with Scheffler, which would make for a fun final day.

US Open Contenders
Here are some contenders to win the 2024 US Open:
Viktor Hovland +1600
Hovland comes into the event 5th in the world rankings.
The 26 year old from Norway has been pretty solid this season, but nothing over the top.
He does not have a win, and just 1 Top 10 finish this season.
He is coming off a weekend, where he took over $325K for 15th at the Memorial.
Hovland missed the cut at the Masters, but finished third at the PGA Championship last month.
Betting Viktor Hovland

Collin Morikawa +1600
Morikawa went toe to toe with Scheffler last weekend, but came away with second place.
That still earned him more than $2.1M.
Morikawa is the 8th ranked player in the world and 6th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Morikawa has been great with the driver. He is 4th in driving accuracy, with a 78.
Morikawa is 16th overall in scoring average, at just over 70.3 on the season.
Betting Collin Morikawa

Bryson DeChambeau +1600
The game of golf is better when Bryson DeChambeau is in the mix.
The 30 year old that played his College Golf at SMU is coming off a 18th place finish at the LIV event in Houston.
DeChambeau finished runner up at the PGA Championship, and went for 6th at the Masters.
He has always been known as a big event golfer.
We will see if it can translate to the big stage in North Carolina.

US Open Longshots
Here are some longshots, but some really talented golfers at the 2024 US Open:
Ludvig Aberg +2000
Aberg is 6th in the world rankings coming into the event.
Aberg is coming off a fifth place finish at the Memorial.
He missed the cut at the PGA Championship following his 72 on the first day.
He could not recover enough on Day 2.
Aberg is 9th in scoring average, and has been good getting near the hole.
Aberg is ready to break out and win a big one, but is this the right stage for him?
Betting Ludvig Aberg

Brooks Koepka +2000
We all know who Brooks Koepka is.
The 2017 and 2018 winner is back, looking for his third title.
In 2017 he went an astounding -16.
The next year he won the event over Tommy Fleetwood with a +1.
Koeka is coming off the LIV Golf event in Houston, where he finished in 9th.
The 34 year old from Florida State seems determined to show the golf world he is still able to play with the best of them.
Betting Brooks Koepka
US Open Longshot Pick:
PGA Odds: +2000 | Betting US Open Lines MyBookie’s Lines for Third Golf Major
Jon Rahm
He shot a -6, and Louis was one back.
Rahm comes into the event 7th in the world rankings. At Houston last week, he withdrew on day 2.
Before that, he missed the cut at the PGA Championship.
In April, Rahm went for 45th at the Masters.
While he is not in great form right now, Rahm is a guy that can get hot quickly.
He is a tough best to make because we know his ability, but right now, he is a bit off.
Betting Jon Rahm
