Scottie Scheffler Can Make History Winning the U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The 2025 U.S. Open, the third major championship of the season, is set to tee off this week at the historic Oakmont Country Club. Known for its lightning-fast greens and punishing rough, Oakmont will host the U.S. Open for the 10th time, making it one of the most iconic venues in golf history. With anticipation sky-high, fans are eager to see how the game’s best will handle the challenge from June 12 to 15.
A stacked field of elite talent will compete this week, including the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka. Notably, Bryson returns as the defending U.S. Open champion and has been in solid form throughout the year.

Only five players in history have ever won the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open in the same calendar year: Gene Sarazen (1922), Ben Hogan (1948), Jack Nicklaus (1980), Tiger Woods (2000), and Brooks Koepka (2018). Scottie Scheffler now has a chance to join this elite club.
Joining them are stars like Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and Viktor Hovland. Another name to watch is Ryan Fox, fresh off a surprise victory at the RBC Canadian Open. Though not among the top betting favorites, Fox's gritty win gives him momentum heading into Oakmont.
Scheffler is on a tear, having won the 2025 PGA Championship and the Memorial Tournament just last week. With +280 odds, he’s the clear favorite heading into Oakmont. His consistency, calm demeanor, and pinpoint iron play make him a serious threat.
If he lifts the trophy on Sunday, fans will erupt and the golf world will witness history. A Scheffler win would not only cap off an incredible stretch but also solidify his growing legacy.
