Scottie Scheffler has won five of eight tournaments, while finishing second twice and in the top 10 in all eight tournaments since the beginning of March with a string of dominant performances. Scheffler won last weekend's Memorial Tournament, breaking his "drought" of going back-to-back tournaments without a win. Scheffler is the 11-4 favorite in the latest 2024 U.S. Open odds, and even with short odds like these to win the U.S. Open 2024, could there still be value in playing him in 2024 U.S. Open picks? Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy follow at 10-1 in the current 2024 U.S. Open odds.
The U.S. Open 2024 tees off Thursday from Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. Scheffler won the 2024 Masters and Schauffele won the 2024 PGA Championship, but is there a longshot lurking lower in the 2024 U.S. Open field to use in your 2024 U.S. Open prediction? Before locking in your 2024 U.S. Open picks or Scottie Scheffler props, be sure tosee 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 with the U.S. Open 2024 field taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 U.S. Open predictions
One major surprise: Justin Thomas, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Thomas is looking to put last season behind him and his latest results demonstrate signs that's happening. The 15-time PGA Tour winner finished T-8 at the PGA Championship in his most recent major and is 14th in the FedEx Cup standings after missing the playoff altogether last year by finishing outside the top 70 in the final regular-season standings. Thomas finished top five in each of the previous four Tour Championships before missing last year's playoff and given his stronger play of late this season, last year's disappointing results in more of an anomaly than a new normal.
Thomas is 13th on the PGA Tour in birdie average this season, which has led him to an average score below 70 per round. Thomas was 46th in birdie average last season, playing a role in him finishing with an average score above 70, ranking him outside the top 100 on the PGA Tour. for average score. The 31-year-old has won two major tournaments over his career and given his consistent finishes inside the top five in the PGA Tour's culminating event outside of last season, the model sees 35-1 odds as something to explore in 2024 U.S. Open bets.
The model has also examined where Scottie Scheffler finishes. Scheffler is in the midst of a historic season. The 27-year-old has racked up five wins and 12 top-10 finishes in 13 events in 2024.
Scheffler has won three of his last five starts on the PGA Tour, which includes his second major title at the Masters in April. He's also coming off a victory at last week's Memorial Tournament. Following his victory at Muirfield Village, Scheffler joined Tiger Woods (2001) as the only golfer to win the Masters, Players, Arnold Palmer Invitational, and Memorial in the same year. Scheffler secured a third-place finish at the U.S. Open a year ago, but he possesses the all-around game needed to finish on top of the 2024 U.S. Open leaderboard at Pinehurst this week.The model just locked in its Scottie Scheffler U.S. Open picks here..
