Who will win the 2024 U.S. Open? Power ranking golf major field by odds

2. Xander Schauffele (+1100)

Schauffele became the second-ranked golfer in the world with his big win at the PGA Championship last month. It was his first career major win, and he did it in part by breaking the Valhalla course record with a 9-under-62 on Thursday. That mark also tied an all-time low round in majors. This week, Schauffele will get the chance to add a second major win to his résumé. His highest finish at the U.S. Open entering this week was a tie for third in 2019, though he’s finished in the top 10 in all but one year that he’s competed in it (six out of seven times).

U.S. OPEN FIELD: Who’s playing in Pinehurst at this year’s third golf major?

3. Rory McIlroy (+1200)

Continuing the trend atop the odds board, McIlroy is the No. 3 golfer in the world according to the latest Official World Golf Ranking. The 2023 runner-up enters this week looking for his fifth win in a major and first U.S. Open win since his third time competing, in 2011. The Northern Irish golfer has two tournament wins this year – at the Wells Fargo Championship and Hero Dubai Desert Classic – but hasn’t had strong performances in majors so far. McIlroy finished tied for 22nd at the Masters and tied for 12th at the PGA Championship. Pinehurst will be an opportunity for him to turn things back around.

4. Collin Morikawa (+1400)

Morikawa is not the world’s No. 4 ranked golfer… yet. The 27-year-old American – ranked seventh as of Wednesday – has had a very strong year so far with top-four finishes in each of the year’s first two major tournaments and four more top-10 finishes in other tournaments. Most recently, Morikawa lost to Scheffler by one stroke at the Memorial Tournament last weekend. The American has won the PGA Championship (2020) and The Open Championship (2021) but is still looking for his first U.S. Open victory.
