- Xander Schauffele’s top-20 consistency at Major Championships is no longer a secret, but there are still valuable -115 odds for it to happen again.
- Schauffele posted a top-20 finish in 16 of the last 17 majors, including all nine career US Open appearances.
- He has +2000 odds to win the 2026 US Open, but his -115 top 20 odds are a lock.
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. – Xander Schauffele has finished top 20 in 16 of the last 17 major championships. That’s a 94% hit-rate, yet Schauffele is catching -115 sports betting odds for another top 20 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Top 20 Finish Odds
- Scottie Scheffler -300
- Rory McIlroy -145
- Jon Rahm -125
- Xander Schauffele -115
- Tommy Fleetwood +100
- Matt Fitzpatrick +100
It’s hard to see why Jon Rahm (-125) is more likely to finish top 20 at PGA Tour betting sites than Xander Schauffele at the US Open. Rahm won the US Open back in 2024 and has two majors to his name, but so does Xander, although not a US Open victory.
Rahm just finished t-2 at the 2026 PGA Championship but was T-38 and T-34 in the two majors prior. Meanwhile, Schauffele has 28 top 20 finishes in his 36 career major appearances.
Could Xander Win The US Open At +2000 Odds?
Xander Schauffele feels due to win a US Open at some point in his career purely due to his consistent performances at golf’s toughest test. Schauffele finished top 20 in all nine career appearances at the US Open with a worst finish of T-14.
That streak includes seven top 10 finishes, which can be found anywhere from +185 to +200 odds. It’s not like Schauffele is entering the major in poor form either, as he’s finished inside the top 10 (T-7 and T-9) at both majors this season and finished top 20 in seven of his last 10 events.
He’s tied with Matt Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood with the fourth-shortest odds to win the 2026 US Open, trailing Scottie Scheffler (+600), Rory McIlroy (+1200), and Jon Rahm (+1600). Still, Schauffele to finish top 20 is the best bet on the 2026 US Open with his game built for tougher courses.
