When you think of the PGA majors, The Masters gets a lot of hype. But the US Open is not only potentially more challenging, it also offers up the largest prize pool of them all. With a prize pool of around $12.5 million, there’s no doubt why it’s attractive to the pros.
For bettors, however, it can be a bit more challenging than most golf tournaments. That’s because some players take to the US Open easily, while others experience a golf nightmare. Below find the latest US Open odds as posted at AZ online sportsbooks plus a quick guide to help you bet on the US Open legally here in Arizona.

How to bet on the US Open
There are numerous ways you can bet on the US Open, but the absolute best way to bet on golf in Arizona is through online and mobile sportsbooks. They are easy to use, convenient, and they allow 24-hour access to your accounts.
When the tournament is set to begin, you’ll have access to multiple different bet types. Before then, however, the most readily available wager will be in the futures market.
Futures bets are wagers placed on events or outcomes yet to take place. As a bettor, you are basically trying to predict what the future will hold. It’s not easy, especially when the tournament is still far off on the calendar.
That happens to be when betting is potentially the most lucrative, but also the most risky. Trying to choose who might win a tournament without even knowing if the player you are considering is going to be invited is a bit daunting. But the right amount of news consumption and staying informed on how the season is shaping up can help you gain an edge.
Making your wager long before the next US Open comes into view will offer up the greatest odds for those looking to make a huge splash on a risky wager. If that’s you, consider making your bets earlier than some might expect.
Can US Open betting odds shift?
They can indeed. In fact, it’s quite common, especially in futures betting on an event like the US Open.
With so much attention on the majors, it’s not surprising that odds fluctuate from their starting points. Especially in the world of futures, odds tend to change as more information becomes available. Maybe a particular golfer is playing the best of their career, or the event is at a course historically dominated by one of the golfers attending. Injuries, trends, and even personal news can impact the odds.
Another reason odds will shift is because of public betting. When Arizona online sportsbooks see a lot of wagers on a particular outcome, they start to worry. That imbalance leaves them in a precarious position when it comes to making money. What if the vast majority of bettors simply win outright on that imbalanced market? Sportsbooks don’t allow themselves to lose that way.
To offset that, the oddsmakers change the line to make the other potential outcomes more attractive with better odds.
This incentivizes betting in those other directions and reduces the potential loss for the sportsbook in case the heavily favored wager does indeed come up a winner.
Live betting on US Open golf
If you’ve never heard of live betting—also known as in-game betting—then you’re in luck. It’s one of the most popular sectors of gambling today.
Live betting, which requires the use of an online or mobile sportsbook to participate, allows you to make wagers on an event while the action is unfolding. You can wager on things like whether a particular golfer is going to make par on their next hole or if there will be a hole-in-one during a specific round.
Live betting allows a level of engagement with the US Open that hasn’t been previously available to the majority of bettors. It gives you a reason to stay tuned, stay interested, and get in on the action when you choose to.
If you’re wondering about why you need an online or mobile sportsbook, the truth is, retail and commercial sportsbooks just can’t keep up with the quickly changing odds of live betting. Online books, however, have the luxury of being connected at all times. They can instantly edit the odds while you’re live wagering.
