Scheffler (13-2), Rahm (8-1), Brooks Koepka (17-2), Viktor Hovland (10-1) and Rory McIlroy (11-1) are the favorites in the 2023 U.S. Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Before you consider any 2023 U.S. Open picks or bets, make sure you check out the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad, considering his domination on golf picks!

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He's had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. Before the Wells Fargo Championship, Nejad had Wyndham Clark among his longshot outrights, backing the 75-1 longshot before he dominated at Quail Hollow for his first PGA Tour victory!    

In 2022, he hit six first-round leaders in a 12-week span while peppering in tournament outrights throughout the year. In 2023, SportsLine debuted "The Early Wedge," and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Nejad also had a winning head-to-head record in eight of 10 weeks. He was up more than 70 units over that three-month span!

Now, Nejad has been digging into the 2023 U.S. Open field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

We can tell you Nejad is fading Scottie Scheffler, even though he's the overall favorite and top-ranked player in the world! "I just can't bet him at such a small number knowing that his putting has truly failed him as of late," Nejad told SportsLine.  

Instead, Nejad is jumping on several underdogs, including one HUGE longshot who's priced higher than 50-1! This golfer's results "have continued in a positive trajectory," and the expert expects him to make a STRONG run. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any 2023 U.S. Open picks of your own!
