2021 US Open Bets: Bryson DeChambeau vs. Brooks Koepka

Looking at the odds and lines for the 2021 US Open, with PGA Tour picks and predictions between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.

Golf’s greatest active rivalry takes center stage this week at the 121st US Open as Brooks Koepka tries to dethrone reigning US Open champ Bryson DeChambeau. Below, we look at the top bets between DeChambeau vs. Koepka at the 2021 US Open, with PGA Tour picks and predictions.

DeChambeau comes into the tournament at No. 6 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings with Koepka at No. 82. The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) has them a little closer together at Nos. 5 and 10, respectively.

Both golfers have a win already this season. DeChambeau won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and has three other top-10 finishes through 12 events. Koepka won the Waste Management Phoenix Open and has two runner-up finishes through nine events, including a T-2 at last month’s PGA Championship.

2021 US Open Bets: DeChambeau vs. Koepka

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Tournament match betting: DeChambeau (-125) vs. Koepka (+100)

I discussed this 72-hole matchup here, but it’s the marquee matchup of the US Open.

As discussed on Bet Slippin’ Podcast, the line seems to be doubting Koepka’s health after a missed cut at last week’s Palmetto Championship in South Carolina, even though he tied for second at the PGA Championship in much more difficult conditions. He underwent knee surgery in March and missed the cut in his next two events prior to the year’s second major.

Expect a more motivated KOEPKA (+100) this week as he looks to take down his rival, the reigning US Open champ. Take the value with the even-money underdog. Though, that’d be the case if the odds were reversed, too.

DeChambeau and Koepka each to finish in the top 5: +2000

DeChambeau and Koepka are each +350 for a top-5 finish this week. We’re getting slightly better value with this prop than we would for a straight parlay with a $100 bet returning a profit of $2,000.

It’s a solid bet, with both golfers in the top four by the outright odds. We even get some insurance in the event of multiple golfers tying for fifth.

Dual Forecast (1st/2nd any order): +12500

There’d be no greater story this weekend (other than, perhaps, Phil Mickelson completing the career grand slam) than DeChambeau and Koepka being paired together Sunday afternoon and going down to the wire.

Get a small piece of that possibility by betting Koepka and DeChambeau to finish 1-2 in either order. A $10 bet would return a profit of $1,250.

Mickelson tries for the 30th time to win the US Open. He’s coming off a historic victory at the PGA Championship and is also playing a hometown course just outside of San Diego. Is that enough to warrant a bet at +5000?

Tim, Esten and Geoff make their picks among the favorites and long shots. Tim advises giving a preference to a few top golfers from the West Coast.

They then go through some of the additional US Open betting markets, including top player pools and head-to-head tournament matchups.

2021 US Open odds, picks and predictions for Bryson DeChambeau

Looking at the 2021 US Open odds and lines, with picks and predictions for Bryson DeChambeau.

The 121st US Open takes place this week at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, and Bryson DeChambeau enters as the reigning champion. He won the 2020 US Open by six strokes at Winged Foot Golf Club in the fall. Below, we look at the 2021 US Open odds for Bryson DeChambeau and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions to win.

DeChambeau enters the week at No. 6 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March and tied for third at The Players Championship the next week. While he tied for 46th at the Masters and for 38th at the PGA Championship, he’s rightfully among the favorites for the third major of the year.

DeChambeau missed the cut at the 2018 Farmers Insurance Open in his only appearance at Torrey Pines to date. However, that tournament was long before DeChambeau’s added power and distance.

Odds and best bets for Bryson DeChambeau at the 2021 US Open

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 10:25 a.m. ET.

Outright winner: +1800

The reigning champion, DeChambeau is a decent value with a share of the third-best odds to win this week. He has shown his top form with a win already this year and we know his new game is well-suited to the difficult conditions of the US Open.

DeChambeau leads all qualified golfers with 1.16 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee per round.

Top-10 finish: +170

DeChambeau is +350 for a top-5 finish, but we’re still getting plus money with five extra places of insurance. Ignore his limited experience at Torrey Pines; he’s fully capable of handling the thick rough, and he has already mastered major-caliber greens.

Top American: +1100

There’s a considerably higher payout for DeChambeau to win outright, but he’s a fine bet to be the Top American with a share of the second-best odds in the pool. This hedges the chance of tournament favorite Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, or another international golfer winning the US Open.

Top former winner: +450

PASS on this nine-man pool. The odds don’t provide enough value to bet against what’s still the top competition in the tournament, including World No. 1 Dustin Johnson.

Tournament match betting: Bryson DeChambeau vs. Brooks Koepka (+100)

DeChambeau and Koepka each have a win this year, but DeChambeau has three other top-10 finishes while Koepka has two runner-ups, including the PGA Championship. That performance was confirmation the two-time US Open champ is fully recovered from knee surgery earlier this year.

Take the value with the four-time major champ at even money. He has more experience at Torrey Pines and has also seemed more publicly motivated to come out on top in golf’s biggest rivalry.

2021 US Open odds, picks and predictions for Jordan Spieth

Looking at the 2021 US Open odds and lines, with picks and predictions for Jordan Spieth.

The first half of 2021 has seen a resurgence from former World No. 1 Jordan Spieth with eight top-10 finishes through 13 events this year. He’s up to No. 19 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings but is still searching for his first major win since the 2017 Open Championship. Below, we look at the 2021 US Open odds for Jordan Spieth and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions to win.

Spieth returned to the winner’s circle in April at the Valero Texas Open and tied for third at the Masters the next week. More recently, he tied for 30th at the PGA Championship and followed it up with a runner-up finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Before rejuvenating his career (he’s still just 27 years old) he missed the cut at the 2020 US Open last fall and hasn’t finished inside the top 30 in five appearances since winning in 2015 at Chambers Bay.

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 9:15 a.m. ET.

Outright winner: +2000

Even amid his resurgence, Spieth is still struggling with accuracy off the tee. He’s averaging just 0.05 Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee per round this season. He’s 184th in driving accuracy and tied for 67th in bogey avoidance.

PASS on betting Spieth to win the US Open with Torrey Pines and the customary US Open rough being too punitive for his wayward drives.

Tournament match betting: Jordan Spieth vs. Justin Thomas (-110)

Bet THOMAS (-110) in this tournament head-to-head. Thomas is second on Tour in SG: Approach this season, and he’s averaging 0.36 SG: Off-the-Tee per round to Spieth’s 0.05. He tied for eighth at the US Open last fall.

Top American: +1200

Six of the top-seven betting favorites this week hail from the US. Spieth shares the sixth-best odds to win the tournament and the fifth-best odds in this pool with tournament favorite Jon Rahm removed. PASS on the nationality prop with better value for the outright win, even though we’re also passing there.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Will Spieth make the cut? No: +280

This is the best value prop on Spieth this week with a chance to nearly triple up the investment. He has missed just one cut through 13 events in 2021, but that was at Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open. The conditions outside of the fairways will be even tougher this week.

2021 US Open odds, picks and predictions for Phil Mickelson

Looking at the 2021 US Open odds and lines, with picks and predictions for Phil Mickelson.

Less than a month after winning his second PGA Championship, Phil Mickelson will try once again to complete the career grand slam with the elusive US Open. Below, we look at the 2021 US Open odds for Phil Mickelson and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions to win.

This will be Mickelson’s second US Open at Torrey Pines (South) in La Jolla, California. He tied for 18th in 2008 when Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate in a playoff. It’s a hometown course of sorts for the 50-year-old from San Diego.

Mickelson, who enters the week at No. 117 in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings, is +5000 to win the 121st US Open as a mid-range contender. He was +15000 prior to his PGA Championship win, his first PGA Tour victory since February 2019.

Odds and best bets for Phil Mickelson at the 2021 US Open

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:10 a.m. ET.

Outright winner: +5000

Mickelson’s unexpected PGA Championship win dropped his US Open odds considerably, but there’s still a chance for a quality payday with a $100 bet returning a profit of $5,000.

His inability to win the US Open to date has been much discussed, but he has six runner-up finishes and four other top-10 showings in 27 appearances as a professional. He was the low amateur in 1990 and 1991.

He conquered the longest major venue ever at Kiawah Island and still has the distance to contend in major championships. His short game has also long been well-suited to US Open conditions. Add in the local factor, and Mickelson is worth a small bet at +5000.

Place your legal, online 2021 US Open bets in CO, IA, IN, MI, NJ, PA, TN, VA, WV and Washington D.C., at BetMGM. Risk-free first bet! Terms and conditions apply. Bet now!

Top-20 finish: +240

We’re still getting the chance to better than double up our investment with 19 places of cushion for the top-20 finish. His T-18 placing at Torrey Pines in 2008 was among the best of those in this year’s field.

He’s a three-time winner and two-time runner-up at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, though that tournament is split between the North and South courses while the US Open is played exclusively on the South Course.

Top American: +4000

PASS on this nationality prop with a lesser payout than the outright win and six of the top-seven betting favorites hailing from the US.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Leader after 1st round: +6000

Mickelson started his PGA Championship run with a round of 2-under-par 70 en route to winning at minus-6. Two weeks earlier, he opened the Wells Fargo Championship with a 7-under 64 and the first-round lead.

He’s a good bet for the 18-hole lead this week until the grueling US Open conditions catch up to the 50-year-old, who’s already the oldest major winner ever.

Will Mickelson make the cut? No: +110

Hedge against disaster befalling Mickelson by backing him to miss the weekend at plus money.

He missed the cut in five of his 12 events this year and in two of his last four US Open appearances.
