2026 Golf US Open Odds
Every June, the best golfers in the world meet up at the U.S. Open for the third Major Championship of the golf season. In 2026, those golfers will battle it out at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York, which will, yet again, provide a massive challenge for even the world's best golfers.
In the 2025 US Open, the surprise winner, JJ Spaun, was the only one to tame the Oakmont Country Club's absolutely fierce characteristics with under par score. While Shinnecock isn't necessarily known as brutal of a course as Oakmont, going under par will probably get you quite far in the 206 US Open as well.
The odds for the 2026 US Open opened quickly right after JJ Spaun's incredible winning putt in 2025, and those odds can be found here. Once more sportsbooks release their odds, we'll add them here for you as well!

The US Open 2026 Venue Preview - Shinnecock Hills Golf Club
The 2026 U.S. Open heads to the iconic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York — a venue steeped in major championship history. Known for its windswept terrain, fescue-covered dunes, and lightning-fast greens, Shinnecock is one of the sternest tests in championship golf. Therefore, after being tested like never before in Oakmont during the 2025 US Open by the course itself, players don't get much breathing room in 2026 either.
Founded in 1891, it is one of the five founding clubs of the USGA and has hosted five previous U.S. Opens (1896, 1986, 1995, 2004, and 2018). The course layout demands precision off the tee and a creative short game, particularly when navigating the tight lies and punishing run-offs surrounding the greens, not to mention the awkward winds that will for sure cause some problems, even for the very best of the game.
Over the years, Shinnecock has rewarded golfers with supreme ball-striking, steady nerves, and the ability to adapt to changing coastal winds. Players who thrive in firm and fast conditions—typically those with links golf experience or elite iron play—tend to excel here. In 2018, Brooks Koepka captured his second consecutive U.S. Open with a winning score of +1, highlighting the course's toughness. In 2004, Retief Goosen tamed similarly brutal conditions to win at -4, posting the best US Open winning score played in Shinnecock, while Corey Pavin won in 1995 with an even-par total.
Expect 2026 to feature another grind-it-out championship, where par is a great score, and mental fortitude is as vital as physical skill. With its undulating fairways and demanding greens, Shinnecock Hills promises to once again be a defining stage for the game's toughest major.
Previous US Open Winners in Shinnecock Hills Golf Club
Year: Winner | Total score (to par) | Margin of victory | Runner-up |
|---|---|---|---|
2018: Brooks Koepka | 281 (+1) | 1 stroke | Tommy Fleetwood |
2004: Retief Goosen | 276 (-4) | 2 strokes | Phil Mickelson |
1995: Corey Pavin | 280 (even) | 2 strokes | Greg Norman |
1986: Raymond Floyd | 279 (-1) | 2 strokes | Chip Beck & Lanny Wadkins |
1896: James Foulis | 152 | 3 strokes | Horace Rawlins |
What does all this mean betting-wise?
When wagering on the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, sharp bettors should prioritize players with elite approach play and strong scrambling stats. The course's firm, fast conditions and tightly mown run-offs punish missed greens, so strokes gained, approach, and around-the-green are key metrics. Historically, Shinnecock has yielded very few red numbers, so targeting steady, bogey-avoiding players with proven success in tricky, major setups is wise.
Wind is also a frequent factor at this coastal venue, so performance in windy conditions or links-style environments is another useful indicator. Bettors should fade overly aggressive players and favor those with patience and control, especially in putting from long-range on slick greens. Recent U.S. Open form and experience on classic layouts like Pebble Beach or Oakmont can offer clues to success at Shinnecock.
