The third of four major championships sees the U.S. Open head to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York from June 18-21.
Below you'll find up-to-date U.S. Open odds, plus information on the favorites, the course, and more.
Odds courtesy of BetMGM on April 15.
Scottie Scheffler will head to Shinnecock looking to become the seventh golfer to complete the career Grand Slam, and his U.S. Open results would suggest he's going to get it done sooner rather than later. He's finished inside the Top 10 in four of the last five editions.
The now six-time major champion has been incredibly consistent at the U.S. Open over the last seven years, and it's a miracle he hasn't been able to notch a second victory considering he's finished runner-up twice over that span (LACC in 2023 and Pinehurst in 2024).
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is a historic links-style layout in Southampton, New York, originally designed by William Flynn, that plays as a Par 70 stretching over 7,400 yards. The course has hosted the U.S. Open multiple times, most recently in 2018, and remains a staple in the championship's rotation.

The U.S. Open is one of the most bet golf events of the year, so naturally, many 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 on most golf betting sites, however, including top finishers, head-to-head matchups, and plenty of props.
Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of April 15.
Scottie Scheffler has the best odds to win the 2026 U.S. Open at +350. That's an implied probability of 22%. Remember, odds are subject to change, so the favorite can shift as results and news move the market.
Books can adjust U.S. Open futures at any time, especially after PGA Tour events, major news, or heavy betting action. On this page, the odds shown reflect the timestamp listed in the odds table. If you’re comparing prices, refresh the page and check the book’s current listing.
Not always. U.S. Open outrights are a deep market, and even elite players win at a low rate in a single-event sample. Historically, many winners come from the short-to-mid range rather than the single shortest favorite. Use favorites as a starting point, then compare price to course fit, current form, and alternative markets like Top 10/Top 20.
If you don’t want the volatility of an outright, consider Top 5/Top 10/Top 20 finisher bets or head-to-head matchups, which can better reflect form and course fit. Props can also offer angles without needing the winner.
