Top 2023 US Open (Golf) Favorites
Scottie Scheffler is sitting at the top of the favorites list for the 2023 US Open, but his record this year does not look that great. The winner of last year’s Masters Tournament finished tied for 10th place in this year’s Masters while finishing tied-second in the PGA Championship.
He did, however, impress in The Players Championship, which he won by five strokes. The win got him to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking, but he’s dropped from that place since. Heading into the 2023 US Open, he’s sitting in the No.3 position.
Of course, if the bookies are right and he ends up winning the tournament in California, we could see him reclaim the top spot. However, it’s not going to be easy to do so as competition is very fierce. As per US Open Championship odds, his closest competitor is Jon Rahm, who seems to love playing on the West Coast – this guy’s already won two events in California this year.
Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka Mustn’t be Underestimated
Brooks Koepka is a two-time US Open winner who’s been great in 2023. This year, he’s already won one major (PGA Championship), as well as finished tied second in another one (the Masters Tournament).
It’s officially U.S Open week. Good luck to Brooks Koepka, this generations best major championship golfer, as he tries for his 3rd U.S Open, 2nd major victory of the year, and 6th total major win of his already hall of fame career. pic.twitter.com/puh1Ou2eo4

This guy definitely has the experience needed to bag another major. However, so do many other golfers who are coming to California this week, most notably, Rory McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman is the US Open Championship aggregate and par record-holder, but these records were set 12 years ago. Now a 34-year-old, McIlroy has been without a win at a major tournament in seven years. Is that too long of a wait?
2023 US Open Golf Championship Prediction
Which golfer is going to win the US Open in 2023? Our pick is Brooks Koepka. Priced at +1100, he’s seen as one of the main contenders for the trophy, but in our eyes, he’s the No. 1 favorite.
The thing is that when it comes to the US Open Golf Championship, players with the shortest odds rarely come on top. In fact, the betting favorite won just once in the last six editions of the US Open. This is another reason why we think backing Koepka wouldn’t be too crazy.
Pick: Brooks Koepka to win
