- Scottie Scheffler is the +550 favorite at the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills and needs a win to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the seventh player to complete the career Grand Slam.
- Scheffler already holds the Masters (2022, 2024), PGA Championship (2025) and The Open Championship (2025), with play beginning Thursday at 6:35 a.m. ET.
- Rory McIlroy (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1500), Xander Schauffele (+1600) and Tommy Fleetwood (+1800) round out the top five in FanDuel's odds.
- SportsLine expert David Bearman is fading Bryson DeChambeau at +3500, noting DeChambeau has missed the cut in three of his last four majors and lost 2.13 strokes around the greens at the PGA Championship in May.
- DeChambeau owns 25 professional wins including five LIV Golf titles, with a playoff victory at LIV Golf South Africa this past March, but his odds have slid from pre-tournament favorite status.
- Bearman enters the week up more than 18 units in 2026 after hitting Cam Young at The Players Championship, Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage and Cam Young at the Cadillac Championship, and has flagged a 70-1 longshot with major-winning game.
Why it matters: Scheffler at +550 is the shortest price on the board, and a win would make him just the seventh career Grand Slam winner — a club that has only added one member since Tiger Woods. Bearman's fade of two-time champion DeChambeau at +3500 reflects DeChambeau's three missed cuts in his last four majors, including both U.S. Opens at Oakmont.
