U.S. Open 2015: Golf Betting Odds, Futures & Favorites

Despite a dominate wire-to-wire victory at the Masters and leading the PGA Tour in FedExCup points and money earned, Jordan Spieth isn’t the favorite to win next month’s U.S. Open.

That early distinction goes to Rory McIlroy, the world’s top player. McIlory was listed as the 11/2 favorite by sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. Spieth wasn’t far behind at 7/1.

The U.S. Open, the golf season’s second major, is set for June 18-21 at Chamber Bay Golf Club in University Place, Washington.

Tiger Woods, who has played just once since early February (Masters), got 14/1 odds, just ahead of Adam Scott and Dustin Johnson (16/1).

Last year’s winner Martin Kaymer came in at 28/1 along with Bubba Watson, a two-time Masters winner.
