Scottie Scheffler has a chance to complete his career Grand Slam when he takes part in the U.S. Open 2026 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. Play begins on Thursday at 6:35 a.m. ET. Scheffler already has wins at the Masters (2022 and 2024), the PGA Championship (2025) and The Open Championship (2025). Only six have ever secured their tour's four major championships over the course of their careers. They include Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Scheffler is the favorite in the 2026 U.S. Open odds at +550. Also expected to challenge for the 2026 U.S. Open title are Rory McIlroy (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1500) and Xander Schauffele (+1600).

He also hit on Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage and Cam Young at the Cadillac Championship, and is up more than 18 units in 2026.
Now, Bearman has focused on the 2026 U.S. Open field and locked in his predictions, sleepers and golfers to avoid. You can only see them here.
Top 2026 U.S. Open expert picks
One of Bearman's 2026 U.S. Open predictions: He is fading two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. DeChambeau opened as one of the favorites, but has seen his odds drop to +4000. DeChambeau has nine wins on the PGA Tour and 16 wins as a professional. He has five LIV Golf League wins, including a playoff victory at the LIV Golf South Africa tournament this past March, but Bearman doesn't like his outlook at Shinnecock Hills this year.
"DeChambeau has also missed the cut in three of his last four majors, including both this year and last year's U.S. Open at Oakmont," Bearman told SportsLine. "He was downright awful at the PGA Championship in May, losing 1.15 strokes to the field overall and 2.13 around the greens." See who Bearman is backing at SportsLine.
