Scottie Scheffler heads the power rankings as the 2025 US Open tees off at Oakmont

All eyes are on Scottie Scheffler as the 2025 US Open kicks off tomorrow at the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. The 28-year-old is the odds-on favorite to win the year's third Major.

Added to that, defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is snapping at his heels. The LIV Golf star hasn't secured a Major since last year's win at Pinehurst, where he outlasted Rory McIlroy in the final. With recent finishes including a T5 at the Masters and a T2 at the PGA, DeChambeau remains a top contender.

Meanwhile, Sam Burns has emerged as a wildcard in this year's field of 156 players after a runner-up finish at the RBC Canadian Open, where he lost in a playoff after a final round 62. With that, Burns returns to the U.S. Open with high odds after finishing T9 in 2024. Below are the top odds for the US Open as per SportsLine:
