The highly anticipated 2024 U.S. Open Golf Championship is set to ignite the Pinehurst No. 2 Resort & Country Club with the prowess of 156 top golfers. The campaign for the coveted trophy will kick off on Thursday, June 13.

All eyes will be on the formidable World No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, who has had an impressive year.

His recent triumph at the Memorial Tournament has only solidified his status as a heavy favorite for the U.S. Open.

Not far behind is Xander Schauffele, who is rapidly gaining ground in the odds. Schauffele has been a consistent performer, securing top 25 finishes in his last 10 starts on the PGA Tour. His recent major title win at the PGA Championship has catapulted him into the spotlight, making him a strong contender for the U.S. Open tournament.
