2025 U.S. Open predictions: Expert picks, predictions for 2025 U.S. Open winner at Oakmont

The third men's major championship of the year is here, as the 2025 U.S. Open kicks off Thursday morning at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, ranked No. 1 on the Golfweek's list of best private courses in Pennsylvania.

PGA Championship winner and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite, but Masters champ Rory McIlroy and defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau are also favorites heading into the week. This is the 10th time Oakmont has hosted the U.S. Open, the most of any site in the United States.

There are 156 players in the field, including 15 amateurs and 11 past champions, but only one can bring home the trophy.
