  • Chasing pack: Rory McIlroy +900, Tommy Fleetwood +1000, Jon Rahm +1100. (Implied probabilities decrease as odds lengthen.

Why the Markets Look This Way

  • Home-soil trend: Recent Ryder Cups have favored hosts, and Bethpage’s demanding, crowd-charged setup amplifies that historical tilt.
  • Form & fit: Scheffler’s elite tee-to-green numbers and the U.S. roster’s power profile fit Bethpage’s demands, supporting his Top USA and Top Overall favoritism.
  • Depth vs. continuity: Europe’s core (McIlroy/Rahm/Fleetwood/Åberg) provides cohesion and away-day upside — reflected in relatively tight prices and steady interest.
