2025 US Open Picks & Predictions: Daniel Berger

by |

The third major of the year, the 2025 U.S. Open, begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Western Pennsylvania.

Oakmont is a classic U.S. Open venue with narrow fairways, overgrown rough, and lightning-fast greens. We'll once again get to see the famous "Church Pews" - the huge bunker bordering holes No. 3 and No. 4 that has rows of grass strips in the sand.

It will be a challenging test for the best players in the world. Will we get a head-to-head duel between No. 1 player in the world Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship last month, and No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who won the Masters in April? Or will LIV Tour star Bryson DeChambeau successfully defend his 2024 U.S. Open title?

The BettingPros Guide to the 2025 U.S. Open will drill down on all the wagering opportunities this tournament presents, taking a closer look at the top contenders for America's national championship of golf.

Read on for our 2025 US Open picks and predictions for Daniel Berger.

Course History

Berger played in the U.S. Open the last time it was at Oakmont in 2016, but did not have a great tournament. He was 2-over for the tournament after three rounds (70-72-70), but then struggled on the last day, carding a 77 to finish 9-over and t37. He missed the cut the following year at the U.S. Open, but had his best finish in 2018 (t6). In 2021, he finished inside the top ten for a second time (t7). Last season, he finished t21.

Recent Form

This season has seen Berger play in 15 tournaments, make the cut in 11, finish inside the top 25 in nine, and inside the top ten in two. His best finish was in the Phoenix Open where he was the runner-up (t2). He has not played well in the Majors this season (t21 at the Masters; t33 at the PGA Championship). He has a top-five finish in his last five tournaments (t3 at the RBC Heritage) but missed the cut in his last two.

Betting Outlook: 2025 U.S. Open Picks & Predictions

I can see no reason to bet on Daniel Berger to win the U.S. Open. If he does make the cut. A more likely result for him would be to finish inside the top 30 (+125) or maybe top 20 (+240). His odds to make the cut are -175 but to miss the cut, +130. Considering how he has played this season, it may be worth it to split your stake between 'to miss the cut' and to finish in the top 30.
