U.S. Open Shinnecock Hills Scottie Scheffler Wyndham Clark golf betting odds

The 2026 U.S. Open returns to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York. Odds makers have made world number one Scottie Scheffler the clear favorite, with lines of +550 on FanDuel and +455 on DraftKings, positioning him to become the seventh player to complete the modern career Grand Slam if he wins. Other notable contenders include Rory McIlroy (+1000 FanDuel), Jon Rahm (+1400 FanDuel), and past champion Brooks Koepka.

Former champion Wyndham Clark, winner of the 2023 U.S. Open, used a press conference at Shinnecock Hills to discuss his desire for redemption after a 2024 incident at Oakmont Country Club that resulted in a ban. Clark said he still feels remorse for the outburst and hopes the tournament will allow him to move forward and enjoy the competition.

Both stories underscore the tournament’s mix of high‑stakes competition and personal narratives as the field prepares for one of golf’s most prestigious majors.
