The third major of the season is finally here, with the U.S. Open taking place at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, North Carolina. 

The tournament will be played on Course No. 2, a par-70 track that is 7,588 yards long with Bermudagrass greens.

Wyndham Clark, the defending champion, opened at +7000 to win it all.

As for betting on the tournament, we've got you covered with everything you need, from the odds to best bets.

Let's dive into the action.

Scottie Scheffler is the clear-cut favorite entering the tournament, just as he is in all the tournaments he plays in. Scheffler currently sits at +300 to win it all.

Xander Schauffele, who won the PGA Championship in May, and Rory McIlroy, last year's runner-up, are tied for the second-best odds at +1100. 

Scheffler is on a tear in 2024. He picked up his fifth tournament win since March on Sunday, winning the Memorial. While Scheffler won his second green jacket at the Masters in April, he's never won at any of the other three majors.

Despite that fact, Scheffler's +300 odds to win the tournament are the best a golfer's had to win a major since 2009, when Tiger Woods was a +180 favorite to win the PGA Championship. Woods is the only golfer in the last 40 years to have shorter odds to win a major tournament.

Scheffler has been a money-making machine for his backers this year. Per GolfBet, if you placed $100 on him to win every tournament this season, you'd be up $1600.

The new dad has consistently finished in the top 10 this season. He's currently at -120 to finish the event in the top five, while his odds to have a top-10 finish are -250 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
