World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was ultimately unable to recover from a poor third round at the PGA Championship, but he still posted a top-10 finish. Scheffler won the Masters in April and is the 4-1 favorite for the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, which begins on Thursday, June 13. Xander Schauffele had a breakthrough performance in the PGA Championship, leading wire-to-wire to clinch his first major victory. He is 10-1 in the 2024 U.S. Open odds, trailing only Scheffler and Rory McIlroy (9-1). Defending champion Wyndham Clark is a 22-1 longshot in the U.S. Open 2024 odds board, while 2022 champion Matt Fitzpatrick is 40-1.
The 2024 U.S. Open field is littered with other contenders, including Brooks Koepka (12-1), Jon Rahm (12-1) and Ludvig Aberg (14-1). Before locking in any 2024 U.S. Open picks of your own, entering PGA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, or finalizing U.S. Open props and U.S. Open Pick Six entries, be sure to see the 2024 U.S. Open 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 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 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 the last three Masters and 2024 PGA Championship. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now with the U.S. Open 2024 approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
