The third major championship of the 2025 golf season is underway with the game’s two best players entering having already claimed the most notable titles of the year. The USGA has loaded up its premier event with nearly all the top golfers in the world competing as the 2025 U.S. Open features 156 contenders hoping to battle across 72 holes at Oakmont Country Club for the 10th time.
Half the field has already entered the clubhouse Thursday with J.J. Spaun shocking those in attendance and watching at home. Spaun shot 4 under on his first nine and went bogey-free across his first 18 holes to it atop the leaderboard. While there were low numbers to be had Thursday, the likes of Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau were unable to capitalize. Each opened their tournament under par only to eject on their second nines, respectively finishing eight and seven spots behind Spaun.
Scottie Scheffler entered this U.S. Open atop the odds board as a heavy 11/4 favorite, per BetMGM. Despite going winless to open the season, the reigning PGA champion has claimed three of the last four tournaments he’s started. He is now seeking the third leg of his career grand slam with two green jackets and a Wanamaker Trophy already in his possession. Schefler began the U.S. Open as the most significant favorite at a major championship since Tiger Woods was in his prime, and as the model of consistency, all he shouldneed to do is put up quality numbers across 72 holes to be in the mix come Sunday.
Eyes should also be on the likes of Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, all of whom level up when majors come around. As far as the non-favorites, it will be interesting to see whether Oakmont serves as a litmus test as to whether underdogs can still contend at championships like this one.
As far as the legends go, Tiger Woods remains sidelined while recovering from unexpected surgery, while Phil Mickelson looks to be making his 11th and final run at the career grand slam. Mickelson has finished 2nd at the U.S. Open an astounding six times (1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2013), and while he is a severe longshot at Oakmont, stranger things have happened in golf.
