The 2026 U.S. Open is set to take place from June 18-21 at the historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York. As one of golf’s four major championships, the tournament draws intense scrutiny from both competitors and the betting community.
According to current odds via FanDuel, Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament as the clear favorite at +550. He is followed by Rory McIlroy (+1200) and Jon Rahm (+1300). Defending champion J.J. Spaun, who secured his title with a two-stroke victory over Robert MacIntyre last year, enters the field at +5500.
Expert analysis from SportsLine’s David Bearman suggests a cautious approach regarding Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently priced at +3300. Despite his success in the LIV Golf League, Bearman noted that DeChambeau has missed the cut in three of his last four majors, citing recent struggles around the greens. As the field prepares for the opening round, the competitive landscape remains focused on whether top-ranked players can navigate the demanding conditions of Shinnecock Hills.
