US Open 2024: Golf experts’ promising contenders

The 2024 Golf US Open is here, and the event is filled with fierce competitors. Even among the talented crowd, Scottie Scheffler stands out as a crowd favorite.

The golfer has registered 5 wins in the past 8 PGA Tours. These wins include the Memorial and the Masters, with 2 second-place finishes in the stretch. It is worth noting that the top-ranked golfer had to settle for 8th place at the PGA Championship.

Scheffler was arrested during the competition after the 2nd round. However, his driving-related charges were later dropped. The golfer is getting +325 odds to win the US Open at the Westgate SuperBook.

The player is the shortest crowd favorite to take the major prize home since Tiger Woods. In a pool of 156 talented individuals, Wes Reynolds (VSiN co-host) also sees Scheffler in the top 5.

Reynolds admitted to playing Scheffler -120 top 5 like the co-host did at the Memorial. A top 5 of a heavily packed top 10 is likely the best way to play Scheffler, added Reynolds. 

At Station Sports, Scheffler is garnering odds of -137 to end within the top 5. The odds for Scheffler to finish in the top 10 is -230 at Circa Sports. In the previous 3 US Opens, the golfer has placed 3rd, 2nd, and 7th. 

Other than that, here are some of the best picks for the tournament:-

  • Collin Morikawa (17-1)
  • Viktor Hovland (23-1)
  • Cameron Smith (42-1)
  • Hideki Matsuyama (44-1)
  • Tommy Fleetwood (45-1)
  • Tony Finau (75-1)
  • Sahith Theegala (57-1)
  • Tyrrell Hatton (71-1)

While there is no certainty in sports, the mentioned golfers have the best chance to make it big at the US Open 2024.
