2020 US Open CashBet Odds Overview

On this occasion, we are reminded about the unique US Open characteristics.  This major tournament is known for its tremendous difficulty.  Scoring is made to be extra difficult.  As a result, the sportsbook handicapping dynamics are a greater challenge.  The $12.5 million purse is the largest of all majors and PGA events.  Of course, Tiger Woods is the biggest and most popular name in the field.  Woods will be way overpriced because of fan-boy money.  Too many casual gamblers will punk down cash on the three-time US Open champ.  For that reason, a loaded field will get sharp money looks.

The US Open normally takes place in June each year.  In view of a rotation of different courses is a further challenge for players.
