U.S. Open early odds 2026: DeChambeau threat for third title being taken seriously
Bryson DeChambeau is a betting favorite over fellow LIV Golf star Jon Rahm and a half dozen other past U.S. Open winners entering Shinnecock next month despite his recent poor form in major championships.
There are horses for courses, and as far as the old adage is concerned: Oddsmakers think Bryson DeChambeau is a thoroughbred match for next month's U. S. Open at Shinnecock Hills .
What else could explain DeChambeau being listed above every player in the year's third major not named Scheffler and McIlroy? Yes, the LIV star and YouTube sensation is a two-time U. S.
Open champ. Popularity and pedigree, check and check. It can't be that simple though.
DeChambeau, who has won twice on the LIV circuit in 2026, missed the cut at Augusta in April and then at Aronimink last week. At the former, he was thoroughly outplayed by Cameron Young, Justin Rose and Tyrrell Hatton — all players he towers over in the all-too-early favorites list for Shinnecock. At the latter, it was fellow LIV star Jon Rahm outplaying DeChambeau as well as Ludvig Åberg and Xander Schauffele.
