Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1 golfer, is the favorite to win the US Open in 2024 because of his amazing form. FanSided claims that the American player might be the best fantasy golf pick for the major. In 2023, Scheffler has been playing exceptionally well on the PGA Tour.

Given that he won the Hero World Challenge last month and has two top-3 results in his past three events, he is the clear favorite for the 2024 US Open. The 27-year-old has won only one Major tournament (Masters 2022) in his career. His best result at the US Open came in 2022 when he finished in second place. Since going pro in 2018, the American golfer has won six PGA Tour events.

Another early fantasy pick for the 2024 US Open is Viktor Hovland, the winner of the 2023 Tour Championship. In his professional career, he has won eleven events. Two of his victories were on the European Tour, and six came on the PGA Tour. He finished T12 at the US Open in 2019, which is his best result in the tournament

According to FanSided, Tyrell Hatton is the next favorite to win the US Open in 2024. The Englishman participated in the Ryder Cup and enjoyed a successful PGA Tour season in 2023. He achieved his best result at the US Open in 2018, finishing in a tie for sixth place. In his professional career, Hatton has won ten events, six of which have been on the European Tour.

Here are the early fantasy picks for the 2024 US Open, as per Fansided:

1. Scottie Scheffler
2. Viktor Hovland
3. Tyrrell Hatton
4. Jon Rahm
5. Brooks Koepka
6. Jordan Spieth
