2023 U.S. Open Players, Odds
This year’s U.S. Open field holds 156 of the world’s best players, including world No. 1 and tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler. Unsurprisingly, this year’s Master’s winner Jon Rahm is a close second odds-on favorite behind Scheffler, with Brooks Koepka trailing them. Tiger Woods was set to make his return to all four majors this year, but he pulled out of the U.S. Open earlier this month, citing ongoing issues with an ankle injury he suffered in 2021.
Of course, the elephant on the course this year is the recent merger of LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Top LIV golfers such as Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson will again be playing alongside Tour golfers who publicly denounced the merger, such as world No. 3 Rory McIlroy who recently stated, “I hate LIV.”
