- Scottie Scheffler enters the 2026 U.S. Open as the favorite at +550, followed by Rory McIlroy (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1300) and Tommy Fleetwood (+2000)
- J.J. Spaun defends his title at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. (June 18-21) after winning last year's U.S. Open by two strokes over Robert MacIntyre
- Bryson DeChambeau has missed the cut in three of his last four majors, including both of the last two U.S. Opens at Oakmont, according to SportsLine expert David Bearman
- DeChambeau was "downright awful" at the PGA Championship in May, losing 1.15 strokes to the field overall and 2.13 strokes around the greens, despite entering the U.S. Open among the top-10 favorites at +3000
- DeChambeau has 16 career professional wins including five in the LIV Golf League, most recently a playoff victory at LIV Golf South Africa in March
- Bearman has also identified a longshot priced higher than 350-1 plus two triple-digit longshots, and enters the week up more than 18 units on the 2026 PGA Tour season
Why it matters: DeChambeau is a two-time major champion with five LIV wins this year, yet Bearman is fading him at +3000 because he's missed three cuts in his last four majors and lost 2.13 strokes around the greens at the PGA Championship — a sharp disconnect between his tour form and major-week results that sharp bettors are targeting.
