2023 US Open betting preview: Will Scottie Scheffler deliver a Hollywood blockbuster?

The year’s third major takes place this week with the world’s best golfers competing at the US Open. Scottie Scheffler is the favourite with the world number one expected to contend heavily in California. It will be the first time all of the top stars have competed together since the shock announcement that the PGA Tour and DP World Tour will merge with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This bombshell opens the door for LIV rebels to rejoin the PGA Tour but all the focus is on Los Angeles Country Club this week for a Hollywood blockbuster.

The North Course will be unfamiliar to most of the field having never previously hosted a major. This 7,400-yard par 70 has a wide variety of holes featuring five par threes and three par fives. A relatively wide parkland course, it will play firm and fast with no rain recently in LA and this will undoubtedly add to the difficulty for the players. Avoiding the rough and playing from the fairway will be needed to hold the greens and strong scrambling will be required if out of position. A dry forecast with the temperature rising should ensure a fiery examination in a tournament dubbed the toughest test in golf.

Scheffler looks hard to keep out of the frame with the American finishing in the top five of his last four tournaments. He is a tempting option but 13-2 is certainly not generous odds. John Rahm will be dangerous, with his stellar record in California, but he has looked short of his best in his last two starts.

2023 US Open golf tips

Brooks Koepka to win (E/W)

📈 Sky Bet Odds: 12.0 (8 Places E/W)

Brooks Koepka is first up for our US Open golf tips. The American stormed to victory at last month’s PGA Championship and there is no reason to ignore him as a strong alternative to the two favourites. Koepka landed his fifth major title with his two-shot triumph at Oak Hill last month. It has been on the cards after his near miss at the Masters in the spring and Koepka is undoubtedly the top dog in the majors following his return to fitness. No player enters a major with as much confidence and self-belief as Koepka. His focus in the biggest events is unrivalled and Koepka will be relishing the chance to potentially return to the PGA Tour, with more majors in his trophy cabinet. He landed back-to-back US Opens in 2017 and 2018, with success at Erin Hills followed by a win at Shinnecock Hills. Koepka has three other top fours at this major and comes in well-rested following his success at Oak Hill. It would be a shock if he fails to contend this weekend and Koepka has to be backed at 11/1.
