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.

Outright winner: +2000

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.

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.
