What Bets Can You Make On the US Open?

Futures – Futures odds are exactly what they sound like: bets on the outcome of a future event. With the U.S. Open not typically scheduled until June, futures odds are the only betting odds that will be available for the event for quite some time. Futures bets are generally very broad because there isn’t much interest in betting on events that are still months away. The primary futures odds available for the U.S. Open right now cover only which golfer will win the event.

Props – Proposition bets cover a wide selection of different outcomes that don’t even necessarily have to be related to the sport of golf. Prop bets generally involve very specific criteria and their specificity limits the number of bettors for each one. One popular prop betting on the U.S. Open is whether or not there will be a hole-in-one at any point during the tournament. Other props can include things like the distance of the opening drive of the tournament, how many eagles a golfer will finish with, and more.

Head-to-Head – Head-to-head bets are a subcategory of prop betting. They are very popular for individual sports that pit all competitors against one another simultaneously. Rather than betting on which of the U.S. Open’s 156 participants will win the event, bettors can instead wager on whether one individual golfer will outperform another individual golfer. These head-to-head bets are a great way for fans to capitalize on their deep knowledge of the game and to stay engaged with the event even if their preferred golfer isn’t in a position to win the entire event.
