2024 U.S. Open Odds & Picks: Tom Kim

by |

The U.S. Open is returning to Pinehurst No. 2 a classic Donald Ross design in the sandhills of North Carolina. Golf fans typically associate the U.S. Open with lightning-fast greens and thick, chewy rough that severely punishes errant shots. Pinehurst's greens will be slick, but instead of gnarly rough, sandy wastelands surround Pinehurst's fairways and greens, requiring players to be creative with recovery shots.

When the U.S. Open was last played at Pinehurst 10 years ago, Germany's Martin Kaymer crushed the field, finishing -9. Runners-up Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton finished -1. That only three players finished under par shows just how stern a test Pinehurst can be.

Will Scottie Scheffler build on a remarkable season by winning his second major of the year? Can Xander Schauffele win a second straight major after his victory at the PGA Championship a few weeks ago? Is the red-hot Rory McIlroy ready to win his first major in 10 years? Or will Pinehurst see a LIV Tour star such as Brooks Koepka or Bryson DeChambeau emerge triumphant?

Tom Kim Recent Form

This hasn't been the most fruitful season for Kim, as he only bagged one top-10 finish, a fourth-place outing at the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago. Other than that, the South Korean-born golfer has two additional top-20 outings. Statistically, he's just 88th in SG: Total (0.129 AVG), which speaks to the underwhelming nature of his 2024 season.

Tom Kim 2024 U.S. Open Betting Outlook

I won't be backing Kim outright this weekend. However, I think he’s capable of securing a top-30 finish, which comes with a +105 payout (DraftKings). Kim is one of the up-and-coming golfers on the Tour and has placed 30th or better in four straight majors and six of his last eight.
