2025 U.S. Open picks, odds, field: Surprising predictions from longtime golf model that's nailed 15 majors
Rory McIlroy will be out to win his sixth career major championship when the 2025 U.S. Open tees off Thursday, June 12, at Oakmont Country Club. Following his victory at the Masters in April, McIlroy became just the sixth golfer in history to complete the career Grand Slam. McIlroy has one U.S. Open victory on his resume, finishing on top of the leaderboard in 2011. The 36-year-old has won three times this season, but finished a disappointing 47th at the PGA Championship. McIlroy (+550) trails only Scottie Scheffler (+320) in the latest 2025 U.S. Open odds. Other top contenders in the 2025 U.S. Open field include defending champion Bryson DeChambeau (+900), Jon Rahm (+1200), and Xander Schauffele (+1700). Before locking in your 2025 U.S. Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .
SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

Now that the 2025 U.S. Open field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard .
2025 U.S. Open predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 U.S. Open: Jon Rahm, a former U.S. Open champion and two-time major winner, stumbles and barely cracks the top 10. Rahm was in contention at the PGA Championship and even held a share of the lead in the final round. However, the Spaniard ended the round with a bogey and two double-bogeys over his final three holes, resulting in a T-8 finish.
Rahm had 11 bogeys or worse at the PGA Championship thanks in large part to his inaccuracy off the tee. Rahm finished the second major of the year with a 53.6% driving accuracy, which doesn't bode well with the tough course conditions expected at Oakmont. He's not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 U.S. Open field. See who else to fade here .
Another surprise: Patrick Cantlay, a 42-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Cantlay has yet to win a major championship, but he's constantly in contention on golf's biggest stages. He secured a T-3 finish at the U.S. Open in 2024, finishing just two strokes behind DeChambeau.
Cantlay remains one of the best iron players on tour, which will be critical at a course like Oakmont. The 33-year-old ranks second on the PGA Tour in greens in regulation percentage (71.69%) and 10th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.624). If he can control his accuracy at Oakmont, he'll have a shot at winning his first major championship. See who else to pick here .

The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 20-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here .
