The 2025 U.S. Open begins on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club, which is hosting the event for a record-extending 10th time. Dustin Johnson won the most recent U.S. Open at Oakmont in 2016, but he is not one of the top 2025 U.S. Open contenders. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won the PGA Championship and has the shortest 2025 U.S. Open odds (+280) to win any major since Tiger Woods in 2009. 

Other U.S. Open contenders include defending champion Bryson DeChambeau (+700), Rory McIlroy (11-1), Jon Rahm (12-1) and Xander Schauffele (22-1). All six major winners since the start of the 2024 season have been among the top-five favorites to win. Before locking in any 2025 U.S. Open picks, you NEED to see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf insider Eric Cohen.

The host of Tuesday's Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine's YouTube page, Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in eight tournaments over the last three seasons. He correctly identified Justin Thomas to win the 2025 RBC Heritage (+1800) and Ben Griffin (+4500 w/o Scheffler) to win the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge. 

Cohen has also called Aaron Rai (2024 Wyndham Championship, +3300), Davis Thompson (2024 John Deere Classic, +2200), Bryson DeChambeau (2024 U.S. Open, +2000), Scottie Scheffler (2024 Players Championship, +550), Rickie Fowler (2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, +1400), Brooks Koepka (2023 PGA Championship, +2000) and Chris Kirk (2023 Honda Classic, +3500) over the last few seasons. Anyone who followed his lead could have been WAY UP!

Now, Cohen has been digging into the 2025 U.S. Open field to find the best betting value and just locked in his best bets and longshots to back. 

This week, Cohen is fading DeChambeau, even though he is the defending champion and one of the top favorites. Another shocker: Cohen is high on Collin Morikawa, even though he's a 25-1 longshot. "I believe that a player could par all 72 holes at Oakmont and win by daylight, that's how tough I expect the course to play. In 10 solo events to date this season, Morikawa has gained off the tee in eight of them and on approach in 9 of 10," Cohen told SportsLine.  

Moreover, Cohen is jumping on several other golfers, including one MASSIVE LONGSHOT who's priced at nearly 90-1! This is a "disrespectful number for one of the most underrated players in the game." Anyone who backs this golfer could cash in HUGE. You need to see who it is before locking in any 2025 U.S. Open picks of your own.

So which 2025 U.S. Open players should you target, and which surprising longshot could bring a MASSIVE payday? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Eric Cohen's best U.S. Open picks, all from the expert who already nailed Justin Thomas in the RBC Heritage and Ben Griffin in the Charles Schwab Challenge!
