The third of 2024's four major championships — the U.S. Open — is just 24 hours away as the sport's best heads to Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Wyndham Clark outdueled Rory McIlroy in the final round at LACC in 2023 for a shocking breakthrough win, but U.S. Open odds for 2024 are already seeing Scottie Scheffler pull away from the pack.

2024 U.S. Open favorites

Scottie Scheffler (+300)

The World No. 1's odds at the majors are seeing new lows considering he's been 4/1 or shorter to win each major this season, including a +300 price at Pinehurst this week.

His most recent victory at the Memorial marks his fifth in his last eight starts and the odds haven't taken long to reflect that level of success. 

Xander Schauffele (+1,000)

Xander Schauffele was once known as the best player on the PGA Tour to have not won a major. Well, that changed at Valhalla, where he held off Viktor Hovland and Bryson DeChambeau to win the PGA Championship by one shot.

His odds at the rest of the majors are shortening as a result, with the new World No. 2 settling inside the Top 3 at Pinehurst. 

Rory McIlroy (+1,100)

Rory's first of four major championship victories came at the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional as a 21-year-old. He lapped the field, winning by eight shots.

He's been in contention each of the last three years but hasn't been able to seal the deal. Will 2024 be the year that changes

U.S. Open field

Here are some of the main methods of qualification for the U.S. Open:

Exemption Categories: The United States Golf Association (USGA) designates several exemption categories, which grant automatic entry to certain players. These categories include:

  • Past U.S. Open champions (typically exempt for 10 years).
  • Winners of other major championships (e.g., The Masters, The Open Championship, PGA Championship) in the last five years.
  • Top finishers from the previous year's U.S. Open.
  • Players who have finished in the Top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
  • Winners of specific tournaments and amateur championships.

Local and Sectional Qualifying: The USGA conducts a two-stage qualifying process for the U.S. Open. Local qualifying events are held at various golf courses throughout the United States. Golfers who advance from the local stage then compete in sectional qualifiers, which take place at a few selected locations. Successful performers at these qualifiers earns a spot in the U.S. Open field.

International Qualifying: International players who are not exempt can participate in international qualifying events organized by the USGA. These events are held in different countries and provide an opportunity for talented golfers from around the world to earn a place in the tournament.

How to bet on golf

The U.S. Open is one of the most bet golf events of the year, so naturally, there are many who will be placing their first golf bets on the tournament. If that happens to be you, we've got you covered with our beginner's guide to how to bet on golf.

The most popular way to bet on golf is by simply picking the winner, which is referred to as an outright. There are plenty of other ways to wager, however, including top finishers, head-to-head matchups, and plenty of props.

How to read U.S. Open odds

Betting odds for the U.S. Open, like other sporting events, can be presented in various formats, including American odds, fractional odds, and decimal odds. However, American odds are commonly used in the United States for sports betting. Here's how to read U.S. Open betting odds in American format:

Positive odds: Positive odds indicate the potential profit on a $100 bet. They are typically associated with underdogs or less likely outcomes.

For example, if you see odds of +500 on a golfer winning the U.S. Open, it means a $100 bet on that golfer would potentially yield a $500 profit if they win. Your total return would be $600 ($100 stake plus $500 profit).

Negative odds: Negative odds indicate how much you need to bet to profit $100. They are usually associated with favorites or more likely outcomes.

For instance, if you see odds of -150 on a golfer to win the U.S. Open, it means you would need to bet $150 to potentially win $100 in profit. Your total return would be $250 ($150 stake plus $100 profit).

Whether positive or negative, the odds provide insight into the perceived likelihood of a golfer winning the tournament. Higher positive odds indicate that the golfer is less likely to win but could yield a higher return if successful. Lower negative odds suggest that the golfer is favored to win but may yield a smaller return due to the higher probability of success.
