Scottie Scheffler Opens as Clear Favorite for the US Open 2025 following PGA Championship Victory
Fresh off his commanding win at the 2025 PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler has been installed as the early favorite to win the upcoming U.S. Open, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. With odds set at +400, Scheffler leads a competitive field as he aims for his second consecutive major title this year.
Scheffler’s recent performance at Quail Hollow, where he secured his third major championship by finishing five strokes ahead of the nearest competitors, has solidified his status as the world’s top golfer. His consistent play and mental fortitude have been key factors in his success, making him a formidable contender for the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club in June.
Scheffler’s Dominance at the PGA Championship
At the 2025 PGA Championship, Scheffler demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience. Despite early challenges, he maintained composure and delivered a flawless back nine, finishing at 11-under par. This victory marked his third major title and continued a remarkable season where he has won his last two PGA Tour starts by a combined 13 strokes—a feat only matched by Tiger Woods since 1970.
Scheffler’s ability to recover from setbacks was evident as he posted birdies after 60% of his bogeys or worse during the tournament, showcasing his resilience under pressure.
Betting Odds for the 2025 U.S. Open
Following his PGA Championship triumph, Scheffler leads the betting odds for the U.S. Open at +400. He is followed by Rory McIlroy at +600, Xander Schauffele at +1100, and both Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm at +1200.
Scheffler’s top position in the odds reflects his current form and the confidence bettors have in his ability to secure back-to-back major victories. A win at Oakmont would bring him closer to achieving a career Grand Slam, with only The Open Championship remaining.
