2024 U.S. Open: How to watch, start times, biggest storylines

The U.S. Open gets underway Thursday morning at Pinehurst Country Club in North Carolina.

The U.S. Open gets underway Thursday morning at Pinehurst Country Club in North Carolina. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler — following his arrest at the PGA Championship last month — remains in the headlines but for good reasons: his dominance. 

Scheffler enters as the betting favorite one week after he claimed the Memorial Tournament, his fifth PGA Tour title this year. If his winning ways continue this weekend, he’ll join elite company, as only two other golfers in history have won six or more times in a season since 1983: Tiger Woods (nine, three times) and Vijay Singh (nine in 2004). 

His +280 odds (via DraftKings) reflect his recent success, but there are other players worth watching over the coming days.

Here’s what you need to know for the 124th U.S. Open. 

Where: Pinehurst No. 2, Pinehurst, North Carolina
