Ever feel like you’re guessing when betting on tennis, cricket or golf? I make sense of the stats and trends so you can bet confidently and enjoy watching your bets play out.

  • Scottie Scheffler leads the US Open 2025 odds at 5/2 ahead of Oakmont’s return to the rotation.
  • Bryson DeChambeau (7/1) looks to defend his title after last year’s impressive win.
  • Rain and a tough layout could bring value picks like Schauffele and Morikawa into play.

Scheffler Favourite to Win First US Open at Tough Oakmont Setup

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler heads into this week's 2025 US Open as the 5/2 favourite with UK Betting Sites to win his first title in the major. 

Played at Oakmont Country Club, the tournament returns to one of golf’s most iconic and unforgiving layouts, with wet forecasts likely to play a big role in how scoring unfolds.

Scheffler, a model of consistency this season, once again finds himself atop the market and will be looking to convert a string of high finishes into another major title.

Star Sports early odds give Scheffler a 28.6% chance of winning the US Open this week.

DeChambeau Returns to Defend After 2024 Glory

Bryson DeChambeau, the 2024 US Open champion, is second in the market at 7/1. 

His power off the tee was instrumental in last year’s success, but he’ll need a full complement of touch and precision to tame the fast greens and tight fairways of Oakmont.

DeChambeau enters with solid form, and his confidence in major events has clearly grown, making him a live contender again this week.

Rory and Rahm in the Mix, but Value May Lie Deeper

Rory McIlroy (9/1) will be hoping to kick on from winning The Masters earlier this year. 

Meanwhile, Jon Rahm (12/1) has yet to recapture previous form but remains one of the most dangerous ball-strikers in the field.

Punter attention may also turn to the value each-way options, with Xander Schauffele (20/1) and Collin Morikawa (22/1) both proven major performers. 

Schauffele, in particular, boasts a stellar US Open record with multiple top-10s.

What the expert says...
Scheffler is rightly favourite, but this is Oakmont, a course that doesn’t care for status. Punters may want to look further down the list for each-way value with rain forecast to level the field.
