Quick Recap: The Memorial Tournament

Scottie Scheffler is on a heater.

After beating Collin Morikawa (our pick 😢 ) yesterday by one at The Memorial Tournament, he notched his 5th win of the year.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, here’s what Scottie’s 2024 has looked like by the numbers:

1st: Player with five wins in a season overall since Justin Thomas in 2016-17
1st: Player to win 5 times in 8-start span on PGA Tour since Tiger Woods from 2007-08
1st: Career tour win past month of April; all 10 previous wins came in February, March or April
5: Wins this season, tied for most before end of June in past 60 seasons on tour
6: Career wins as world No. 1, tying Rory McIlroy for 4th most all-time; joins Tiger Woods (8) as only players in OWGR history to have 5 such wins in single season
11: Straight top-10 finishes on tour, longest streak since Tiger Woods from 2007-08 (also 11)
74: Highest final-round score by tour winner since Jon Rahm shot 75 in final round of 2020 Memorial
$24.02 million: Prize money this season, passing his own record last season ($21.01M) for most official earnings in single season in tour history

And here’s a funny one:

So, the only question is… how many strokes will he win The U.S. Open by?

With Rithmm

Betting The U.S. Open?

With Rithmm's live odds, your outright finisher predictions will update throughout the round.

This allows for you to be even more strategic with how you use Rithmm's ai-backed predictions.

Here's how Live Odds + Predictions works: Let's say your favorite golfer has a really bad few holes, but you think they'll right the ship and get back on track. A bad few holes would cause a golfer's odds of finishing as the outright Winner, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 all to worsen, which is an opportunity for you to get major value at your sportsbook.

Now, you can pull down to Refresh Rithmm's predictions throughout the round, so you can see that golfers updated odds in real-time and change the way you watch the action.

Create custom Golf betting models, get ai-backed picks for outright Winners, Top 5, Top 10, and Top 20 Finishers, and use Rithmm's AI Caddie to live bet every hole for every golfer and change the way you watch the Schwab.

If you're betting on the U.S. Open, you NEED to be using Rithmm. Custom betting models, AI Caddie, and data-backed predictions for the entire tournament.
