With a win in the PGA Championship and a runner-up finish in the Masters, Brooks Koepka has once again established himself as one of the frontrunners in the major championship picture. Now, he’ll turn his attention to the 2023 U.S. Open and a sixth major victory at Los Angeles Country Club. Play will begin on Thursday, June 15 and feature a loaded 2023 U.S. Open field. Koepka is one of four players listed at 10-1 or better in the 2023 U.S. Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook, with the two-time U.S. Open winner at 10-1 along with Rory McIlroy. Scottie Scheffler is the 17-2 favorite among the 2023 U.S. Open contenders, while 2021 U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm is 9-1. 

Before locking in your 2023 U.S. Open picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the 2023 U.S. Open predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up over $8,700 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure’s model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm’s second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Hardy and Davis Riley in its best bets to win the 2023 Zurich Classic. That bet hit at +4500, and for the entire tournament, McClure’s best bets returned over $1,100. McClure’s best bets also included Jason Day winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, even though he hadn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2018.

This same model has also nailed a whopping nine majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2023 U.S. Open field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected 2023 U.S. Open leaderboard.

Top 2023 U.S. Open predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the U.S. Open 2023: Cameron Smith, a six-time PGA Tour winner and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and barely cracks the top 15. He won the 2022 Open Championship, but he has not finished in the top five at either of the major championships this season. Smith was outside the top 30 at the Masters in April, shooting 4-over-par. 

He finished ninth at the PGA Championship in the second major of the year, but was never in contention for the title. Smith has struggled at the U.S. Open in recent years, failing to place inside the top 35 since his debut in 2015. He has missed the cut in each of the last two U.S. Open tournaments, so the model does not see any value in backing Smith at short golf odds in this year’s edition. See which golfers to fade here.

Another surprise: Viktor Hovland, a 25-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Hovland is coming off a t-2nd finish at the 2023 PGA Championship and the 25-year-old Norwegian has now been top 10 in the last three major championships that he’s played.

Hovland is already known as one of the best ball-strikers in the world and has been an elite tee-to-green player since coming out of Oklahoma State. However, he’s made strides around the greens, becoming nearly a tour average player in both categories this season. He gained nearly 1.5 shots against the field in those two categories at the PGA Championship and if he can do the same at Los Angeles Country Club, he should be in the mix. See who else to pick here.

The model is also targeting three other golfers with U.S. Open odds 2023 longer than 20-1 who will make surprising runs. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s 2023 U.S. Open picks here.
