2024 U.S. Open picks, odds, field: Surprising predictions from top PGA golf model that nailed 12 majors

Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina will host the 2024 U.S. Open starting Thursday, June 13, the first time the USGA’s premier championship will be held there in 10 years. The US Open is known for its length, narrow and uneven fairways, and Pinehurst No. 2 will feature thousands of grass plants in native sandy areas. Martin Kaymer won at Pinehurst in 2014, while Rickie Fowler (T2), Jason Day (T4), Dustin Johnson (T4) and Brooks Koepka (T4) were among the other top US Open contenders. Scottie Scheffler is the 4-1 favorite in the 2024 US Open odds, followed by Rory McIlroy (9-1), Xander Schauffele (10-1) and Koepka (12-1).

Which golfers should you include in your 2024 US Open prediction? Before securing any 2024 US Open picks, entering PGA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings or FanDuel, or finalizing US Open props and US Open Pick 6 or PrizePicks entries, be sure to see the 2024 US Open golf predictions and projected leaderboard from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on a roll since the PGA Tour restarted in June 2020. In fact, the model has won nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, winning tournament after tournament.

McClure’s model correctly predicted that Scheffler would finish atop 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 +9,000, and throughout the tournament, McClure’s best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted that Rahm would be victorious in the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model scored the second major victory of Rahm’s career over the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead in the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the model’s second consecutive victory at the Masters, which also guaranteed Scheffler’s victory in 2022.

This same model also nailed 12 majors heading into the weekend, including the last three Masters and the 2024 PGA Championship. Those who have already followed are in high demand.

Now, with the US Open 2024 approaching, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times and the results were surprising. Visit SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top US Open Predictions for 2024

A big surprise the model is waiting for at the 2024 US Open: Brooks Koepka (12-1), two-time US Open champion and one of the main favorites, stumbles and narrowly reaches the top 10. Koepka has five major championships overall but he hasn’t been a factor in major tournaments since last winning at the 2023 PGA Championship. In his four majors since then, his best finish was tying for 17th at last year’s US Open. Koepka has finished outside the top 25 in each of his last three major matches, which is one step closer to tying a long career drought.

He has finished outside the top 15 in four straight majors and has struggled overall this season. In his last eight tournament matches, he has twice as many finishes outside the top 25 (four) as inside the top 10 (two). Add to that that he shot over par in his only previous start at Pinehurst No. 2, and there are much better values ​​to utilize betting on the 2024 US Open. See who else will disappear here.

Another surprise: Joaquin Niemann, with a 25-1 chance, is having a good campaign for the title. He has a much better chance of winning than his long odds suggest, so he is a target for anyone looking for a big payout. Niemann was in fine form heading into the PGA Championship at Valhalla, posting seven consecutive top-25 finishes worldwide. He finished T22 at the Masters and placed in the top 40 at the PGA Championship.

The 25-year-old is still seeking his first top-10 finish at a major, but has been in the top 35 in three of his last four US Open appearances. He’s been eliminated in 13 of his last 15 majors, so he’s quietly one of the most consistent players on golf’s biggest stage. SportsLine’s model identified Niemann as a long shot with value for the third major of the season. See who else can return here.
