What are the odds for Scottie Scheffler to win the US Open? A comparable scenario last occurred 16 years ago.
✌️ Alright, let's chat about golf, ‘cause who doesn't love a good ol' spiel about a career Grand Slam and some high stakes betting, right? 🏌️♂️
Scottie Scheffler's been the talk of the town lately, thanks to that career Grand Slam at The Masters. But, that left folks wonderin', could he snag all four Majors in one year? Bookie's offered odds of +7500 (75/1), but as the PGA Championship rolled around, it was clear that another fella had stolen the show - Rory McIlroy.
However, Scheffler wasn't just gonna sit around twiddlin' his thumbs. He made his presence known with an eight-shot win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, sendin' a clear message to his opponents. Two weeks later, he was back on it, clinchin' his third Major title and first in the PGA Championship before claimin' another victory at the Memorial Tournament.
So it's no surprise that he's the heavy favorite to win the US Open at Oakmont, with odds as short as +275 (11/4). You might remember that Tiger Woods had similar odds in 2009, so the expectations are sky-high. In fact, Scheffler's garnered 7.3% of all bets on the tournament in the last seven days, although that's down from the 14.9% he got last year before Bryson DeChambeau snatched the title.
But here's a fun fact: since Tiger Woods in 2008, no favorite has lifted the US Open trophy. So the bad news for Scheffler is that he's done this before, failin' to win despite pre-tournament odds of +290 (29/10). Even Tiger himself could only manage a T6 at Bethpage Black in 2010, with Lucas Glover takin' the title.
As for Rors, missin' the cut at the RBC Canadian Open last week is a setback, and his sluggish form since the Masters hasn't helped. He's only the eighth most popular bet to win his first US Open since 2011, while Bryson DeChambeau sits at a cozy +700 (7/1).
On the other hand, it's Ludvig Aberg who's attractin' the most bets to win, with odds of +2500 (25/1). Seems folks see value in his bid for a maiden Major title. We'll just have to wait and see if Scheffler can break the 17-year hoodoo or if another dark horse will surprise us all. Let the games begin! 🙌

- Despite Scottie Scheffler's impressive performances in golf, his history shows that he has failed to win when favored, such as in the 2009 US Open, much like Tiger Woods who also failed to win at Bethpage Black in 2010.
- With the US Open at Oakmont approaching, Ludvig Aberg is attracting the most bets to win, offering odds of +2500 (25/1), possibly due to his bid for a maiden Major title.
