US Open Golf Odds & Betting Markets

Wyndham Clark nearly watched a commanding lead disappear at Shinnecock Hills. He held on by a single shot.

Clark began the final round of the 2026 US Open six clear, then carded a three-over 73 as Sam Burns closed rapidly behind him. A par at the last left Clark on four under for the championship, one ahead of Burns, and secured his second US Open title in four years.

The championship now crosses the country. Pebble Beach Golf Links will stage the 2027 US Open from 17 to 20 June, bringing one of golf’s toughest events back to California’s Monterey Peninsula. It will be the seventh men’s US Open held at the course.

The latest US Open golf odds will appear above as the market develops. Until then, follow weekly events and the players building towards the majors through Parimatch golf betting.

The 127th US Open will take place at Pebble Beach Golf Links from Thursday 17 June to Sunday 20 June 2027. The wider championship week begins on Monday 14 June.

Pebble Beach first hosted the event in 1972. The US Open returned in 1982, 1992, 2000, 2010 and 2019, producing a winner’s list that includes Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite, Tiger Woods, Graeme McDowell and Gary Woodland.

The course is open to the public during the rest of the year. A US Open setup is another proposition entirely.

Fairways are narrowed. The rough becomes more severe. Greens that are already small and heavily sloped can be pushed towards much quicker speeds. The second hole has also traditionally changed from a par five to a long par four for the championship.

Then there is the coastline.

The wind can change the effective length of a hole within minutes, especially across the famous stretch from the fourth to the tenth. A short par three such as the seventh may require little more than a wedge in calm conditions. With the wind up, club selection becomes far less comfortable.

Pebble Beach is not especially long by modern major standards. That does not make it forgiving.

The greens are among its greatest defences. They are relatively small, often tilted and surrounded by bunkers, rough or sharp run-offs. An approach can finish only a few yards from the flag and still leave a dangerous recovery.

Position matters from the tee as well. The best angle into a green may sit close to the ocean, a fairway bunker or another part of the course a golfer would rather avoid.

The eighth hole captures the problem. Its approach crosses a seaside chasm towards a green that slopes strongly from back to front. Jack Nicklaus has described it as his favourite approach shot in golf. A safe drive is only the beginning.

The closing stretch offers little relief.

The 17th uses an hourglass-shaped green where the Sunday hole position has produced some of the tournament’s most famous moments. The par-five 18th then runs along the Pacific, forcing players to decide how much of the coastline they are prepared to challenge from the tee.

Pebble rewards courage. Recklessness tends to receive a different result.

The field is not yet complete and form will change considerably before June. Even so, the early US Open betting odds have a recognisable group at the front.

Scottie Scheffler currently leads the wider market, with Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm among his closest challengers. Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood and Ludvig Åberg also feature prominently, while defending champion Clark is available at a larger early price.

Scottie Scheffler

The missing trophy is no secret.

Scheffler has won the Masters, PGA Championship and The Open. A US Open victory would complete the career Grand Slam, something he had an opportunity to achieve at Shinnecock Hills before finishing tied fourth.

Pebble Beach should ask useful questions of his game. Scheffler’s approach play can separate him from a field, while his ability to recover from awkward positions helps when fairways narrow and greens become difficult to hold.

The concern is not his quality. It is the price attached to the market favourite and the pressure that may follow another attempt to complete the set.

His preparation for the major season can be followed through the latest US Masters odds.

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy already owns a US Open title, although his victory at Congressional came back in 2011.

His length should create an advantage on several holes at Pebble Beach, especially when the course is softened by rain. Power alone will not be enough. McIlroy must control his approaches into small targets and avoid leaving himself above the hole.

The Northern Irishman has also found another level in recent major championships. He completed the career Grand Slam at Augusta in 2025 and retained the Green Jacket a year later, showing he can now come through the tense final rounds that once escaped him.

Pebble Beach would offer another chance to add to that record.

Wyndham Clark

Clark returns as both the defending champion and a two-time US Open winner.

His 2026 victory was built during the opening three rounds. Scores of 64, 69 and 70 gave him enough room to survive a difficult Sunday, even as Burns reduced the gap one hole at a time. Clark became a wire-to-wire champion and collected the title with a total of 276.

He also knows Pebble Beach from regular PGA Tour competition. That familiarity should help, though a February event and a June US Open rarely play the same way.

No golfer has successfully defended the title since Brooks Koepka won in 2017 and 2018. Clark will try to become the next.

Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and the Chasing Group

Rahm’s combination of power, touch and comfort in difficult conditions gives him an obvious case. He won the US Open at Torrey Pines in 2021 and tends to embrace rather than resist demanding course setups.

Schauffele has built one of the strongest modern major records. His calm temperament suits a championship where pars can feel valuable and frustration quickly becomes expensive.

Fleetwood has repeatedly gone close in the US Open, most notably when his final-round 63 left him one shot behind Koepka at Shinnecock Hills in 2018. Åberg offers length and controlled ball striking, although Pebble Beach experience may prove valuable when the pressure increases.

Another major-quality field will gather a month earlier, with the current contenders available through the US PGA Championship odds.

Clark set the tone immediately.

His opening 64 was six under par and gave him a lead he never surrendered. He followed it with rounds of 69 and 70, reaching Sunday on seven under.

The final round became uncomfortable quickly.

Clark made enough mistakes to bring the chasing pack back into the championship, while Burns shot 67 to reach three under. Tom Kim finished third on one under. Scottie Scheffler, J.T. Poston and Keith Mitchell shared fourth at level par.

Clark’s closing 73 was his only over-par round of the week. It was still enough.

His victory followed his first US Open success at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023. It also continued an American winning run that now includes Clark, Bryson DeChambeau and J.J. Spaun across the last four editions.

Pebble Beach has produced several very different championships.

Jack Nicklaus won the first in 1972 at two over par. His one-iron into the 17th struck the flagstick during the final round and became one of the enduring images of his career.

Tom Watson chipped in beside the same green to defeat Nicklaus ten years later. Tom Kite survived powerful winds in 1992, while McDowell became the first European US Open champion in 40 years when he won with an even-par total in 2010.

Two performances stand apart.

Tiger Woods finished 15 strokes clear in 2000, setting the largest winning margin in major championship history. Gary Woodland won the most recent Pebble Beach edition in 2019, reaching 13 under and beating Koepka by three.

The winning total has therefore ranged from well over par to 13 under.

Weather, firmness and the USGA’s course setup will help decide which version of Pebble appears in 2027.

The outright winner attracts most of the attention, but it is only one option.

• Outright winner: Back a golfer to record the lowest score after 72 holes and any required play-off.
• Each-way betting: Divide the stake between the player winning and finishing inside the stated places. The place terms can change, so check them before betting.
• Top-five, top-10 or top-20 finish: The golfer only needs to finish within the chosen range.
• First-round leader: Pick the player who will sit at the top after Thursday’s opening round.
• Make or miss the cut: The lowest 60 scores and ties progress after the first 36 holes.
• Head-to-head betting: Choose which of two named players will record the better round or tournament score.
• Top nationality: Back the highest-finishing player from a listed country or region.
• Winning score: Predict the champion’s final total or whether the winning score will sit above or below a specified line.

The final major of the season poses a very different challenge, with coastal links conditions covered on the Open Championship odds page.

Current form helps, but a run of high finishes on easy courses does not necessarily translate to Pebble Beach.

Approach play deserves close attention. Missing one of these greens in the wrong direction can leave a far harder shot than the original approach.

Scrambling will matter too. Nobody will hit every target for four days. The eventual champion must save pars from rough, bunkers and tightly cut areas without allowing one mistake to become a double bogey.

Check the weather closer to the opening round. Pebble Beach sits beside the Pacific, and tee-time conditions may differ substantially between morning and afternoon groups.

Course experience is useful without being decisive. Players compete at Pebble Beach on the PGA Tour each February, but the US Open brings narrower landing areas, firmer greens and a different par.

Finally, wait for confirmation that an ante-post selection has qualified. The US Open combines exempt players with golfers who progress through local and final qualifying. Depending on the market rules, an early bet may not be refunded when the selected player fails to take part.

Open the Parimatch Sportsbook, select golf and find the 2027 US Open market.

Choose the golfer or finishing-position bet you want, add it to the slip and enter your stake. Review the possible return before confirming the wager.

For an each-way selection, remember that the displayed unit stake is charged twice. A £5 each-way bet costs £10, with half placed on the win and half on the place portion.

Once play begins, selected round and tournament markets may remain available through in-play betting. Golf prices can change after one poor drive, a missed short putt or a sudden change in the weather.
