Scottie Scheffler is on a hot streak as he enters the 2024 U.S. Open with the lowest odds since Tiger Woods in 2009. With odds of 4-1, Scheffler is the favorite to win the third major of the year, followed by Rory McIlroy at 9-1. The defending champion, Wyndham Clark, is a long shot at 22-1, while Jordan Spieth sits at 35-1.
The SportsLine model, created by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been accurate in predicting golf outcomes, including Scheffler’s recent victories. The model has also correctly predicted Jon Rahm’s wins at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express.
Justin Thomas, a 33-1 long shot, is expected to make a strong run at the title, according to the model. Thomas has been performing well on the tour and is a solid pick for PGA bets.
Scheffler, who has been favored in five out of the last six majors, is looking to add another major win to his resume. Despite his consistent performance in majors, he has only secured one major victory. The model has locked in its picks for Scheffler at the U.S. Open.
The SportsLine model is also targeting two other long-shot golfers with odds of 20-1 or longer to potentially surprise the field. With the U.S. Open field taking shape, the model has simulated the tournament 10,000 times to provide insights into the projected leaderboard.
