U.S. Open 2023 odds, picks: Why you should cheer for these nine golfers to win Los Angeles Country Club
The 2023 US Open at Los Angeles Country Club will be the first gathering of PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars since the sport turned upside down with news of the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia comes together in a landmark deal that will essentially put all of the major golfing under one umbrella. That drama, however, is set aside this week, as the on-field action returns to the fore with a rich storyline that lingers ahead of the season’s third major championship.
The City of Angels hosts its first national championship in 75 years, marking a historic but truly rare event in the game. While the setting is new and of course breathtaking, the core of any great story remains the characters within.
A lot of the main characters will be at the 123rd US Open as Matt Fitzpatrick aims to become the first successful defender since Brooks Koepka (2017-18). Koepka, meanwhile, is headed for his sixth major championship after he returned to glory at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club last month. Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa hope to add to their main total and strengthen their legacy.
Californians Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa and Rickie Fowler are among those vying for the No. 1 big win. Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, Tommy Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton completed fan favorites in incredible form with plans to leave the major league.
