Bryson DeChambeau's Odds Just Fell to +3500, and Nobody's Talking About How Bad His Game Actually Looks

Alright, golf fanatics, buckle up because the 2026 U.S. Open is about to kick off at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, N.Y., and we've got some absolute drama brewing. Seriously, Thursday at 6:35 a.m. ET is when the first balls drop, and one of the biggest names in the game, Bryson DeChambeau, is looking seriously shaky. SportsLine expert David Bearman just dropped his picks, and he's totally fading DeChambeau, whose odds have tumbled to +3500. This could be a wild one!

Scheffler's Shot at History

While DeChambeau's game is under the microscope, Scottie Scheffler is making headlines for a totally different reason: he's got a real shot at completing his career Grand Slam! Think about that for a second. The dude already has two Masters wins (2022 and 2024), a PGA Championship (2025), and The Open Championship (2025) under his belt. If he pulls this off, he'd join an elite club of only six other legends: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy. That's some serious company! Scheffler is the favorite, sitting at +550, but he's not alone at the top. Rory McIlroy (+1200), Jon Rahm (+1500), Xander Schauffele (+1600), and Tommy Fleetwood (+1800) are all looking to challenge for the title, making for a stacked field this week.

David Bearman. This guy knows his golf. He was ESPN's golf researcher for years and then the Deputy Editor of ESPN Chalk, where he ran a weekly golf betting column. He's also been on fire this year, up more than 18 units in 2026 after nailing picks like Cam Young at The Players Championship, Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage, and Cam Young again at the Cadillac Championship. When he talks, we listen. And he's got a big take on two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. Bearman is completely avoiding him, despite DeChambeau having nine PGA Tour wins, 16 professional victories, and five LIV Golf League wins, including a playoff win in South Africa just this past March. So, why the cold shoulder? Bearman told SportsLine that DeChambeau has "missed the cut in three of his last four majors, including both this year and last year's U.S. Open at Oakmont." Yikes! He also said Bryson was "downright awful at the PGA Championship in May, losing 1.15 strokes to the field overall and 2.13 around the greens." Those numbers don't lie. His game is just not where it needs to be for a major. With the first tee times kicking off Thursday morning, the stakes are super high. We've got a potential Grand Slam in the making and a former champion struggling big time. Bearman is even backing a surprising longshot, priced around 70-1, who he says "has the game to win another major." This U.S. Open is going to be electric, and we can't wait to see how it all unfolds!
