The 2025 U.S. Open is set to commence on Thursday, with the defending champion Bryson DeChambeau aiming to replicate a feat achieved only once in the last 35 years. Brooks Koepka remains the only player to have won back-to-back U.S. Open titles since 1989. DeChambeau is currently positioned at +700 by the latest odds for the U.S. Open, where Scottie Scheffler leads as the +280 favorite. Other notable odds include Rory McIlroy at +1100 and Jon Rahm at +1200.

Nejad, an expert in betting strategies for golf, emphasizes his success in various markets, particularly for head-to-head matchups, showcasing a record of 52 wins against 37 losses.

In analyzing past performances, McIlroy’s recent struggles have raised alarm bells, especially with a recent T-47 finish at the PGA Championship and a subpar cut at the RBC Canadian Open, leaving his position at 170th in driving accuracy. Nejad commented, “I don’t expect him to suddenly recapture his focus at what will be the most challenging test of the year.”
