Top 10 betting favorites for the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club with current form, past finishes

Two majors are in the books, with Jon Rahm capturing the green jacket at the Masters in April, and Brooks Koepka claiming his third Wanamaker trophy and fifth major at the PGA Championship.

Next up, the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club in California.

Shockingly, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite at +750, followed by No. 2 Jon Rahm at +900 and PGA champ Brooks Koepka at +1200.

Scheffler tied for second at Oak Hill while Rahm struggled, tying for 50th.

One of the public’s favorite picks to win at LACC, Max Homa, is +2000 to take home the hardware. Homa has won six times on Tour, four of those coming in his home state of California.

Here are the top 10 betting favorites for the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
