Scottie Scheffler has emerged as a historic favorite for the 125th U.S. Open with +275 odds at Oakmont Country Club. This marks him as the most significant favorite for a men's major since Tiger Woods in 2009. His odds have been driven down by consistent performance and significant betting interest, with over 50% of the handle backing him. ESPN BET's Adam Landeka notes that Scheffler's consistent major performance and appeal to bettors led to these historically short odds, despite past favorites often struggling to win under similar circumstances.
Scheffler's price entering tournament week reflects his consistent performances, knack for showing up in majors, and the outsized betting interest that he garners tournament after tournament.
Despite the heavy support, Scheffler's very short odds means he's not a terrible scenario for sportsbooks should he capture the third leg of his career grand slam.
