Whether you're an avid golf fan, or just tune in for the majors, prop bets are a whole lot of fun that can also see you cash in!

This week we're heading over to BetMGM and PointsBet who have some killer promos and prop bet markets for the US Open.

In addition to checking out the best prop markets for this one, you should also have a read of our top outright winner picks for the 2021 US Open.

Now, let's get into the prop bets👇


 

US Open Promo Play💰

Turn $1 into $100 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Before we get into our favorite prop plays, it would be remiss of us to not let you in on this offer from DraftKings Sportsbook! Simply bet $1 and collect $100 as soon as Bryson knocks in his first birdie of the week.

Sign up to DraftKings Sportsbook today for this absolute no-brainer of an offer!

To make 1+ eagles this week

Jon Rahm (+300 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $30

The favorite for this week and a popular pick among sharps, Jon Rahm seeks his first major victory this week on a course that he absolutely adores.

Although he doesn't feature in our outright winner picks for the US Open, these odds for him to make an eagle at some points throughout the week are too good to turn down.

Check out the eagles that he had at this very course back in 2017 as he sealed the win at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Three stars to make the cut

Schauffele, Spieth and Thomas (+100 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $50, win $100

This one is pretty straight forward. We're taking three of our absolute favorite golfers to make the weekend and we're doubling our money if they do.

As you can see below, BetMGM actually has a few more of these parlays that you may be a fan of!

Will there be a playoff?

Yes (+400 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $40

This bet is partly out of hope because we haven't had a playoff in a major tournament since the 2017 Masters where Sergio Garcia came out on top against Justin Rose.

But for some logic behind the pick, US Open's are often quite tight with birdies hard to come by at times. So with the leaderboard set to be pretty bunched, we're a decent chance that two or more guys could sit atop of it come Sunday afternoon.

Two big names to finish in the Top-5

Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson (+1150 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $10, win $115

As above, we haven't taken Rahm to win in our full betting card, but we have taken DJ.

Both of these guys are big chances to win this week, with a premium on well-balanced games with an added bonus if you can hit the ball a long way.

The 2020 BMW Championship saw these two duke it out with a pair of MONSTER putts and if we get these two at their best again this week, the +1150 on offer may look silly!

Top rest of world player

Marc Leishman (+1200 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $120

Another guy that absolutely loves this course is Aussie, Marc Leishman.

Leish won the Farmers Insurance Open in 2020 here at Torrey and will be confident of a big showing again this week.

We picked Leish as our dark horse play for the Masters where we rewarded us with a Top-5 finish and we like him to finish near the top again here, with this bet cashing if he beats all non-US and non-European players!

The winner to be South African

Yes (+1800 w/ BetMGM)
Bet $10, win $180

As you probably know by now, we successfully picked 22 year-old South African Garrick Higgo to win the Palmetto Championship last week and now with a major arriving, we'd be silly not to spend some of our winnings on another South African dub!

As well as Higgo, South Africans in the field these week include Louis Oosthuizen, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzel, Erik Van Rooyen and Dylan Frittelli.

First Round leader

Viktor Hovland (+3500 w/ PointsBet)
Bet $10, win $350

Our final prop play of the week comes in the form of a First Round leader bet on young Norwegian star Viktor Hovland.

If you frequent Dimers.com or listen to the Tail & Print podcast, you'll know just how much we love the first round plays and when someone with as much talent as Vik comes along at odds like this, it's too fun to not bet on!
