Familiar names like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson have all won the U.S. Open in the past decade. However, the last 10 years have also brought surprise champions like Matthew Fitzpatrick, Gary Woodland, and Wyndham Clark. As bettors prepare for the 2025 U.S. Open, they are trying to figure out if one of the PGA Tour’s biggest stars like Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy will win the U.S. Open 2025, or if those 2025 U.S. Open contenders will fall to a surprising longshot. Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, is the +280 favorite (risk $100 to win $280), followed by DeChambeau (+700), McIlroy (+1100) and Rahm (+1200) in the 2025 U.S. Open odds.
Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, is among the intriguing 2025 U.S. Open sleeper picks at +15000. Who could hold value for online sports betting sites for the U.S. Open 2025?

2025 U.S. Open predictions for Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau
One shocker the model is calling at the U.S. Open 2025: Rory McIlroy, a five-time major champion, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. Over the last decade, McIlroy has seven top 10s and three missed cuts at the U.S. Open, and one of the latter came in his last visit to Oakmont. At the 2016 U.S. Open, McIlroy was the No. 3 player in the world but struggled immensely, shooting over par in both rounds and finishing at 8-over. It’s the third-highest score to par for the Irishman at any major tournament over the last 10 years.
One also can’t look at recent performance to get inspired with backing McIlroy with U.S. Open bets. After notching top-20s in each of his first eight starts of the season, McIlroy has a 47th-place finish and a missed cut in his last two starts. McIlroy simply hasn’t found a rhythm with his driver as he ranks 173rd (out of 179 golfers) in driving accuracy percentage at 50.85%. With landing on the fairway essentially a coin flip for McIlroy at the moment, there are more reasons to avoid him than bet him at the U.S. Open.
The model has also locked in its projection for Scottie Scheffler, who is coming off a dominant win at the PGA Championship. Scheffler has been red-hot in recent weeks, finishing T-8 or better in seven consecutive tournaments. He’s recorded three victories during that span, which includes winning his third major at the PGA Championship in May.
Scheffler will enter the 2025 U.S. Open ranked first in several important statistical categories, including strokes gained: total (2.687), strokes gained: off the tee (0.776) and strokes gained: approach to green (1.342). He’s also been effective on the green, ranking inside the top 25 in strokes gained: putting (0.359), putting average (1.700) and putts per round (27.96). However, Scheffler finished T-41 at the U.S. Open in 2024 and missed the cut at the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont as an amateur.
Meanwhile, the model has examined Bryson DeChambeau’s chances of repeating as champion. His departure from the PGA Tour hasn’t done much to slow his success in majors. He has five finishes of T6 or better in majors since the beginning of 2024, with a missed cut at the 2024 Open Championship serving as an outlier.
Bettors, however, must consider that McIlroy’s recent struggles have contributed to DeChambeau’s odds dropping, as he now trails only Scheffler on the PGA odds board this week. DeChambeau also has a relatively poor track record at the U.S. Open outside of the two years he won. He’s failed to ever finish higher than T15 in those events, making him a bit of a boom-or-bust option for 2025 U.S. Open betting. See the full U.S. Open projections from the model here.
