The 2025 U.S. Open gets underway on Thursday, June 12 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has three wins in his last four events, enters the third major of the year as the +280 (risk $100 to win $280) betting favorite in the latest 2025 U.S. Open odds. Bryson DeChambeau (+700), Rory McIlroy (+1100), and Jon Rahm (+1200) round out the top four contenders in the 2025 U.S. Open field. Would it make sense to target Scheffler, DeChambeau, McIlroy, or Rahm to take advantage of the DraftKings King of the Course promotion?
SportsLine expert Jimmie Kaylor has broken down the PGA Tour odds and just revealed his top 2025 U.S. Open picks to win. All three picks would be eligible to participate in the King of the Course promotion. New users can even take advantage of the DraftKings promo code offering $300 in bonus bets instantly with a $5 wager.
To take part in the DraftKings King of the Course promotion, users have to opt into the promotion on DraftKings Sportsbook, then bet a player to win the U.S. Open. Users will win a share of $1 million in bonus bets if they select the player with the most birdies or better in Round 3 and 4 combined. In addition, check out our top U.S. Open longshot bets, and our U.S. Open Betting Guide that explains everything you need to know about how to bet on the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
Kaylor has been profitable as a handicapper across multiple sports since joining SportsLine, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his online sports betting picks.
Now, here are Kaylor’s top three outright picks to win the 2025 U.S. Open:
- Bryson DeChambeau (+700)
- Collin Morikawa (+2500)
- Ludvig Åberg (+3000)
Get started at DraftKings here with $300 in bonus bets if your fist $5 wager wins.
Bryson DeChambeau (+700)
DeChambeau is the defending U.S. Open champion, and his style of play gives him a leg up on the competition at what will likely prove to be the most difficult course on the 2025 PGA Tour schedule. DeChambeau’s play with his irons has been shaky of late, and while that may ultimately cost him an outright win at Oakmont, this promotion is all about birdie (or better) production, and few players can match the former SMU standout in that area.
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
Morikawa is another past U.S. Open champion, who has proven he can win at difficult venues. Morikawa’s elite accuracy off the tee should help him avoid the nightmare that will be the rough at Oakmont. In six career U.S. Open starts, he has two top-5 and four top-20 finishes. Like DeChambeau, Morikawa is also among the best in the world when it comes to birdie (or better) production.
Ludvig Åberg (+3000)
Åberg is streaky, but the 25-year-old is undoubtedly one of the most talented golfers in the world right now. He is coming off back-to-back T16 or better finishes, and notched an outright win at The Genesis Invitational against an elite field earlier this year. Åberg has the length and overall ability off the tee to set himself up nicely for opportunities to go under par. He is a longshot for a reason, but if you are simply looking for an under the radar King of the Course pick, Åberg makes a lot of sense.
