Who is favored to win the US Open 2023?
The favorites to win the 2023 U.S. Open include Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka. Scheffler currently has the best odds to win at +650.
Koepka, a two-time US Open champion (2017 and 2018), has an impressive record with five top-five finishes in his last nine appearances. Other top contenders include Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, and Cameron Smith.
Most Popular Choice: Max Homa
Max Homa, winner of the Fortinet Championship earlier this year, has odds of +3500 to win the US Open. His best finish in a major was T43 at the Masters this year.
Homa’s popularity as a potential winner outside of the top contenders is worth noting, as BetMGM mentioned that the highest rate of betting tickets (9.4%) have Homa as the winner. This caused his odds to move significantly, as they have been almost cut in half from the +5000 price listed previously.
U.S. Open Predictions & Dark Horse Picks
Our first prediction for the winner of the US Open is Brooks Koepka at +1200 odds.
With his impressive track record and experience in winning major championships, Koepka is a solid bet at his current odds. His ability to perform under pressure and navigate challenging courses makes him a strong contender for the title. The two-time US Open champion is comfortable in this situation, and his form is trending up as well.
Our second prediction is a dark horse pick: Tommy Fleetwood at +4000 odds.
Although not among the top favorites, Fleetwood has the potential to surprise the field and make a strong run for the championship. He’s coming off a very good outing in the Canadian Open last week, where he finished second after a tie-break. Perhaps that momentum can carry into the US Open? Fleetwood’s odds offer good value for bettors looking for an underdog with a chance to contend.
Keep an eye on the odds and predictions as the tournament approaches, and get ready for an unforgettable championship.
