US Open Betting Tips & Predictions

Here we take a peek at the favorites for the US Open 2020 based on recent form, results, and fitness. Numerous bookies are offering excellent odds on players at the US Open 2020. You can view them here above on the table. Below you can find a few tips and predictions based on the above odds, which may change slightly as the tournament date draws nearer.

Dustin Johnson is a strong contender to win the US Open. With odds of around 11/1, he could prove to be a safe bet. Following his runner-up achievement at the PGA Championship, he won't be going away after his fantastic 11-shot win at the Northern Trust event. That followed an unfortunate playoff loss at the BMW Championship to Jon Rahm. It is difficult to dismiss a player like Dustin Johnson after he posted four top-four finishes from 2014-2018 on this event.

Hideki Matsuyama is showing promise and seem like a long shot at odds of 33/1; however, his massive 20-1 long shot places him in with a run at the title. If you are seeking a huge payout, backing Matsuyama, despite what the odds imply, you could be in for a windfall. As a five-time PGA Tour winner to go along with his impressive 11 international victories, his style plays well anywhere. The Japanese sensation finished second at the Zozo Championship, plus a third position at the CJ Cup. Besides. He placed fifth at the Genesis Invitational 2020. Matsuyama has a checkered history at the Players Championship, managing to finish 8th in 2019 and 7th in 2016 with five cuts in six appearances. Matsuyama's consistency shows in his stats and results. With a strong track Fe it's playing at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course, he has proved to be sharper than ever. Matsuyama is a rising star in the Players Championship leaderboard in 2020.

Forget about Brooks Koepka's knee, and missed cuts at regular events, and the trash-talk that backfired. That is the US Majors, and Brooks Koepka's name will somehow get up on the leaderboard at some point in the event. He did pull out of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, a situation that needs to be monitored, but if Koepka plays, you're not going to do much better than 14-to-1 odds.

Collin Morikawa has been continuing with his breakout season on the PGA Tour, cemented by his victory at the PGA Championships 2020 at TPC Harding Park. That win enabled him to soar to fifth place in the Official World Golf Rankings. That was a historic week at TPC Harding Park for Brooks. He shot a major championship record of 128 over his final 36 holes. That officially places the 23-year-old up there with the game's elites. Winning his second consecutive major would be a historic feat. Nothing seems to faze Brooks since he turned pro.

Webb Simpson is the 2012 US Open champ, and his irons and putter should be enough to overcome the lack of distance. He recorded five top-three finishes, along with eight top 10 finishes in only 13 starts so far this season. Webb only recorded two top 10 finishes at majors since winning the U.S. Open in 2012. While superb irons and putter, he currently ranks at 84th due to strokes he gained off the tee.

Bryson DeChambeau proved his grip and rip style could hold up in a major tournament at TPC Harding Park. For anyone who thinks his game is just power, he now ranks 8th in strokes gained, and second in the stat since the US Open restarted. His impressive strokes gained approach, and his around-the-green numbers mean he ranks 97th and 127th in those respective categories.

Justin Thomas is arguably one of the front-runners for Player of the Year with his three victories so far. He undoubtedly deserves to be placed among the betting favorites. Since his sole major golf triumph at the 2017 PGAs, Thomas has managed only one top 10 finish in his last eight starts.

Xander Schauffele managed an impressive top 10 finish at TPC Harding Park, making it his 6th top 10 finish in twelve major championship appearances during his career. It's a matter of when Schauffele will win, not if. There are hardly flaws in his game; nevertheless, others have faltered in similar positions.

Rory McIlroy is the undisputed number one golfer in the world. He will defend his title tooth and nail at the 2020 US Masters. He has been dubbed The Fifth Major, with the wealthiest check of $2.7 million with a PGA Tour exemption for five years. McIlroy claimed victory over Jim Furyk by one stroke. That proved to be a major impetus for Rory to go on and eventually win the FedEx Cup points championship. As the current PGA Tour Player of the Year, McIlroy hasn't been quite as sharp; however, that means you get decent odds on McIlroy of 14/1.
