Wyndham Clark never finished better than 75th in any of his first five majors entering last year's U.S. Open. However, anyone who put faith in Clark reaped the rewards after he won at 100-1 as one of the longest longshots to ever win a U.S. Open. Is there a golfer in the 2024 U.S. Open field that can hit big for 2024 U.S. Open bets with a shocking victory at the U.S. Open 2024, which tees off Thursday from Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina? Justin Rose entered the PGA Championship after missing the cut in his previous three majors, but the 43-year-old finished T-6 at the last major. Rose is 100-1 in the latest 2024 U.S. Open odds.
Could Rose be a longshot candidate to consider for 2024 U.S. Open your 2024 U.S. Open predictions? Those more inclined to play favorites may want to target Scottie Scheffler, the 11-4 favorite among the 2024 U.S. Open golfers. Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau all follow at 10-1 in the current U.S. Open odds 2024. Before locking in your 2024 U.S. Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up almost $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and The Players Championship this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.
The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 12 majors entering the weekend, including three straight Masters and the 2024 PGA Championship. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the 2024 U.S. Open is approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2024 U.S. Open leaderboard.
2024 U.S. Open predictions for Brooks Koepka, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy
One shocker the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2024: Xander Schauffele (10-1), fresh off his first major win at the PGA Championship and one of the top favorites this week, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. There are better values on this week's PGA odds board.
Schauffele has experienced nothing but success in the U.S. Open with seven top-25s across seven starts. However, none of those appearances came at Pinehurst No. 2. The course, with its firm fairways and greens that run out, plays more like a links course that is seen at the British Open. Two of Pinehurst's biggest comps are Royal Liverpool and Royal Portrush, and Schauffele finished 17th and 41st, respectively, at those venues.
If there's one weakness in Schauffele's game, it's with his driver as he ranks outside the top 25 in both distance and accuracy. In addition, he ranks 173rd in total driving efficiency, and Pinehurst greatly penalizes shots that don't land on the fairway. Also, going back-to-back in majors is extremely rare since Jordan Spieth in 2015 was the last to do so. Given this, and his extremely short odds, Schauffele is one to fade with U.S. Open 2024 bets. See who else to fade here.
The model has also locked in its projection for Tiger Woods (125-1), a 15-time major winner. Woods has recorded 15 major victories, second behind Jack Nicklaus' 18. With lingering health issues, Woods hasn't recorded a top-10 in a U.S. Open since 2010, however.
The 48-year-old is easily the most recognizable player of his generation and therefore may attract bets from those who hope he can turn back the clock. After all, Phil Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship at age 50. For golf fans everywhere, watching Woods play four rounds of competitive play would be a highlight of their U.S. Open viewing experience. See where every golfer finishes here.
On the other hand, the model has examined Rory McIlroy's (10-1) chances to win his second U.S. Open after being victorious in 2011. McIlroy is a 26-time PGA Tour winner with four major titles, but the 35-year-old hasn't won a major since 2014. He nearly snapped that streak at last year's U.S. Open, finishing second and one behind Clark in his shocking U.S. Open victory. McIlroy has finished in the top 10 in each of his last four U.S. Open events after missing the cut in the prior three U.S. Opens before his current run of top-10 results.
McIlroy has two victories over 13 events this season and is third in the FedEx Cup standings. He's won two of his last five tournaments while finishing in the top 15 in each of his last five tournaments. But with McIlroy winless in his last 34 majors and having the second-shortest odds to win the 2024 U.S. Open, 10-1 odds may be a hard bet to justify. He's one of the most talented golfers on the PGA Tour, so there's plenty to like but also to question about including McIlroy at his price in 2024 U.S. Open bets.
