U.S. Open wire-to-wire winner props

Winning a golf tournament wire-to-wire means the same golfer led the tournament following each of the four rounds of play. There have been eight wire-to-wire winners in U.S. Open history, and another nine golfers have been a wire-to-wire winner while sharing the lead at the conclusion of one or more rounds of the tournament.

DraftKings had the Yes wire-to-wire winner prop priced at +1200 in a one-way market, while FanDuel had wire-to-wire odds available for individual players ahead of last year's tournament.

U.S. Open cut line props

Our best sportsbooks featured a pair of markets involving the cut line ahead of the 2023 U.S. Open. Each individual golfer had their own odds for whether or not the would make the cut.

Scottie Scheffler had the shortest odds to make the cut (-1000) and longest to miss the cut (+550) through DraftKings last year.

Will there be a playoff props

The U.S. Open has required a playoff 33 times. It’s now a sudden-death format, and the last time there was a playoff needed to determine the winner was in 2008 when Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate on the first playoff hole.

The playoff prop for the 2023 U.S. Open was another two-way market with Yes and No sides.

DraftKingsBetMGM
Yes+300+350
No-400-500

DraftKings also had playoff markets available with props for whether there would be a three-man playoff (+1100) or a four-or-more-man playoff (+6500).

U.S. Open nationality props

The U.S. Open field is always loaded with international talents, and nationality prop markets offer opportunities for bettors to wager on collections of players from different countries, continents, and regions of the world. 

DraftKings and FanDuel will each offer unique nationality betting markets for who will win the U.S. Open.

U.S. Open props betting tips

Even with the U.S. Open annually switching courses, the common theme of tough conditions has become the norm, and Pinehurst No. 2 should prove to be another daunting test. 

The par-70 track played to 7,562 yards in 2014, so adding hard and lightning fast greens to thick and challenging rough projects to make for difficult scoring conditions. Of course, there will also be a splash of major-championship pressure, so players are going to need to be firing on all cylinders to be successful.

As noted, Kaymer won the 2014 edition with a 271 score (-9), but only two other players shot under par, with Erik Compton and Rickie Fowler each shotting 279 (-1).
