MAMARONECK, N.Y. – The best golfers in the world enjoyed a short hiatus over the last couple of weeks, and now head to the legendary Winged Foot Golf Club for the 120th US Open.
Following Dustin Johnson’s dominant win at the FedEx Cup Playoffs, all of the best golfers in the world were officially put on notice.
The DJ of old is certainly back in action and heads into the major tournament as the early favorite. Full betting odds and lines are available for the tournament across all the major online sportsbooks.
2020 US Open - Winner:
- Dustin Johnson +800
- Jon Rahm +1000
- Justin Thomas +1200
- Rory McIlroy +1400
- Xander Schauffele +1600
- Collin Morikawa +1800
- Bryson DeChambeau +2500
- Patrick Cantlay +2500
- Webb Simpson +2500
- Daniel Berger +2800
With so many competitors in the field, the odds listed here only include those with less than +3000 odds to win the US Open.
The field will head to Winged Foot, which lasted hosted the US Open in 2006, a tournament won by Geoff Ogilvy with a score of +5 over par. That event was the last major tournament championship that was won by a golfer who failed to shot under par in any of the four rounds.
Needless to say, Winged Foot is an extremely difficult course that will test players in all facets of their game. The greens will be fast, the rough will be deep, and the conditions will be unfavorable, leading to what could be the most difficult tournament of the year.
Luckily, there are plenty of golfers capable of taking on the challenge, starting with those at the top of the golf betting board.
Starting at the front, the usual suspects of Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy are all present.
Johnson comes into this year’s US Open as the clear favorite due to his insane play throughout the playoffs, winning the Northern Trust, and eventually the FedEx Cup Championship.

Johnson’s strongest weapon throughout the playoffs was his putter, which came through in the clutch in multiple situations.

While there is obvious value for DJ at +800 as a chalk pick, there isn’t any bad choice out of those atop the betting odds.
Jon Rahm has been playing spectacular as well and comes in at +1000. Rahm won the TOUR Championship over Johnson and has the ability to play smart on a tough course.
The same goes for Justin Thomas at +1200, who made some runs during the playoffs but couldn’t make it to the very top. Thomas is extremely accurate, which could be paramount for a spot on the leaderboard at this tournament.
Regardless of which golfer at the top bettors choose to back, this week at the US Open will be another great chapter in this year of golf.
