Marty Smith
Scheffler. Oakmont is arguably the hardest golf course in the world. It requires uncanny precision and accuracy. Scottie is playing so freely and so precisely, and I think that will continue at Oakmont.
Curtis Strange
Scheffler. No. 1 in world,winner three of his past four events,on one of the strategically toughest courses in world — Oakmont!
Paolo Uggetti
Jon Rahm. I really liked what I saw out of Rahm at the PGA Championship. It wasn’t just that he put himself back in contention for a major for the first time as the 2023 Masters, but it was that his game and competitive juices were once again working together to produce some really compelling golf. His game should set up well for Oakmont, and I like his chances of being one of the few players who can challenge Scheffler this week.
Scott Van Pelt
Rahm. As someone has to pick a different player than Scottie.
What’s next
as the U.S. Open 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on Oakmont to see if Scheffler’s dominance, rahm’s resurgence, or a dark horse contender will prevail on this challenging course.
