Scottie Scheffler dominates the US Open: Who can stop him?

Oakmont, Pennsylvania, USA - The start of the renowned U.S. Open 2025 takes place today in the Oakmont Country Club, not far from Pittsburgh. With a total prize money of $ 21.5 million, the tournament is a real magnet for golf enthusiasts. At the top of the favorite list is again Scottie Scheffler, the current number 1 of the Golf world, which has been the greatest favorite for victory for 16 years. Hardly surprising, because Scheffler has shown impressive achievements in the last four tournaments, including a triumph at the PGA Championship last month. Should he also be with the U.S. Triumph, then he would only be a British Open from a career Grand slam, which would further consolidate his legend status.

But the competition doesn't sleep. Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters this season, has to struggle to stabilize his shape. It remains to be seen whether he can reach the heights that helped him with the Masters to the career Grand Slam. Bryson Dechambeau, the only LIV golf player in the tournament, does not have to hide. His current contract with the Saudi Arabia supported league soon expires, but his constant performance gives hope. A total of 14 LIV Golf players compete, which also fueled the competitive landscape.

The challenges on the square

The conditions in the Oakmont Country Club are known across tournaments for their challenges. The deep rough and the fast greens could ensure that the winner may be completed by par. Experts estimate that the rough conditions will play a significant role when it comes to the placements of the players. Some betting providers predict that the level of the four game days and the performance of the players in this area will be decisive.

The betting odds are also certain and reflect the expectations of the sports betting providers. Scottie Scheffler leads with a quota of +275, followed by Rory McIlroy with +850. Further interesting betting options are Bryson Dechambeau (+900), Jon Rahm (+1200) and Sepp Straka, who is considered a top 5 candidate with +5000. Straka has had a remarkable season and could mix up the competition. Viktor Hovland and other players, such as Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama, are also the focus of the betting.

How could the tournament develop? If you look at the latest statistics, the expectations of the players are high. Even if the audience can expect an exciting time in Oakmont, sightings on the PGA tour indicate that surprises are possible. Mcilroy could have to look back on its recent weak performance, while the game of Straka and Hovland certainly offers the potential for placements among the best.
