The 2025 U.S. Open tees off on Thursday, June 12, at Oakmont Country Club just outside of Pittsburgh. 

As always, the U.S. Open is expected to be a grueling test, and there may be no course that emphasises that more than Oakmont.

Considered one of the most challenging tracks on the circuit, Oakmont has hosted the U.S. Open nine times before, including the 2016 iteration of the tournament, which Dustin Johnson won at 4-under par. DJ was one of four players to finish under par in the field.

In 2007, Angel Cabrera won the U.S. Open at Oakmont with a final score of 5-over par.

The U.S. Open is always full of surprises, especially at a course like Oakmont, but that still hasn’t stopped the oddsmakers from installing Scottie Scheffler as a resounding +280 favorite to lift the trophy.

Scheffler is in absurd form, with three wins in his last four events, including at the 2025 PGA Championship last month.

The 28-year-old has yet to win a U.S. Open, though he finished T2 in 2022.

Defending champion and two-time winner Bryson DeChambeau is the second favorite at +700, making him the only other golfer in the single digits. 

Rory McIlroy, two months removed from his historic win at Augusta National, is 11/1 to win.

Jon Rahm, who hasn’t finished outside the top 10 at any LIV event this season, is right behind McIlroy at 12/1.

There’s a decent jump after Rahm to Xander Schauffele (22/1) and Collin Morikawa (25/1).

No other golfers are listed under 30/1 as of Monday afternoon.

As is always the case at majors, there are some tempting prices out there on some of the biggest names in the sport. 

Brooks Koepka hasn’t made much noise lately, but he’ll certainly get some love as a 50/1 outsider. Shane Lowry, also 50/1, will get plenty of support given his ability to carve up tough tracks.

Don’t be surprised to see Ben Griffin attract some long-shot money at 75/1 after winning the Charles Schwab and then finishing second at the Memorial in his last two outings.
