Scottie Scheffler arrives at the 2026 U.S. Open as golf’s heavy betting favorite. Scheffler opens at +600 to win at Shinnecock Hills, per Yahoo Sports oddsmakers. The 2026 U.S. Open runs Thursday through Sunday, June 18 to 21.

Scheffler Chases the Last Leg of His Grand Slam

Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York hosts the 2026 U.S. Open field of 156 players. Scottie Scheffler sits at +600, ahead of Rory McIlroy at +1200. Jon Rahm follows at +1500 and Xander Schauffele at +1800, per Yahoo Sports.

Scottie Scheffler owns the Masters titles from 2022 and 2024. Scheffler added the 2025 PGA Championship and the 2025 Open Championship. The U.S. Open is the only Grand Slam leg missing from Scheffler’s record. Scottie Scheffler also enters Shinnecock Hills ranked world number one.

Only five men have completed the career Grand Slam in golf history. That list runs Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. Scottie Scheffler would become the sixth member with a win at Shinnecock Hills. Scheffler also turns 30 on Sunday, the June 21 final round.

J.J. Spaun defends the title after winning the 2025 U.S. Open at one under par. Spaun edged Robert MacIntyre by two strokes for that 2025 crown. Shinnecock Hills last staged the U.S. Open in 2018, when Brooks Koepka prevailed. Koepka closed at one over par across that 2018 week.

Rory McIlroy chases a second U.S. Open at +1200 after his 2011 win. Jon Rahm, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, sits at +1500 in the same market. Bryson DeChambeau enters as a live name, though some CBS Sports analysts are fading Bryson DeChambeau at Shinnecock Hills. DeChambeau owns two U.S. Open titles, from 2020 and 2024.

Matt Fitzpatrick rounds the next tier at +2150, with Cameron Young at +2200, per Yahoo Sports. Fitzpatrick won the 2022 U.S. Open, his lone Grand Slam title to date. Cameron Young still seeks a first Grand Slam win in the 2026 U.S. Open field.

Round 1 of the 2026 U.S. Open begins Thursday, June 18, at Shinnecock Hills. Scottie Scheffler holds the shortest odds at +600 entering that opening round. Sunday, June 21 also falls on Father’s Day for the final round. A Scheffler win on June 21 would complete a career Grand Slam on his 30th birthday.
