Bryson DeChambeau's U.S. Open Odds Plummet to +4000, And One Expert's Quote Is Brutal

Alright, Emerald City! You know we're always here for the real talk, and let me tell you, the U.S. Open in golf is about to kick off, and things are WILD. SportsLine's golf guru David Bearman, this dude who's already up more than 18 units in 2026 with some killer picks like Cam Young outright at The Players Championship, just dropped his predictions for Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, N.Y. The biggest bomb? He's absolutely FADING two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau! Yeah, you heard that right. DeChambeau's odds have completely tanked to +4000 after opening as one of the favorites, and Bearman's got some savage reasons why he thinks the "mad scientist" is a no-go. This is high-stakes stuff, people!

Why The "Awful" Truth Is Hurting DeChambeau's Chances

Look, Bryson DeChambeau is no slouch. We're talking about a guy with nine wins on the PGA Tour, 16 professional victories overall, and five LIV Golf League wins, including a playoff victory at LIV Golf South Africa just this past March! He's a legit talent. But according to David Bearman, that impressive resume isn't gonna cut it at Shinnecock Hills this year. Bearman told SportsLine, and I quote, "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." And then he dropped the real hammer: "He was downright awful at the PGA Championship in May, losing 1.15 strokes

to the field overall and 2.13 around the greens." Yikes! "Downright awful" is a phrase you do NOT want associated with a former champ heading into a major. That's a gut punch, and it tells you everything about why his odds have fallen off a cliff.

Scheffler's Shot at History, But Don't Forget The Longshots

While DeChambeau is taking hits, Scottie Scheffler is out here chasing history, folks! He's the favorite at +550, and get this: he's got a chance to complete his career Grand Slam at this U.S. Open! The dude already has two Masters titles (2022 and 2024), the PGA Championship (2025), and The Open Championship (2025). Only six other legends have ever pulled off the career Grand Slam: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy. Think about that company! Speaking of McIlroy, he's in the mix at +1200, alongside Jon Rahm at +1500 and Xander Schauffele at +1600. Bearman's not just fading big names, though. He's also backing a "surprising longshot" priced around 70-1 who, in his words, "has the game to win another major." Talk about a wildcard! So, the U.S. Open kicks off Thursday at 6:35 a.m. ET, and man, this is gonna be a wild one. With Scheffler chasing golf immortality and a two-time champ getting absolutely torched by a legit expert's assessment, you KNOW there's drama brewing. Who's gonna step up? Can DeChambeau defy those brutal odds and prove everyone wrong? We'll be watching every single swing from Shinnecock Hills to see how this all shakes out!
