Multiple PGA Tour Golfers Are Late Additions to U.S. Open Days Before Major Starts originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The U.S. Open field of golfers has been solidified, barring any last-minute withdraws. Scottie Scheffler is once again a heavy favorite to win his second consecutive major of 2025 at +275, per DraftKings.
Rory McIlroy is a distant second at +850 after failing to make the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. A pair of LIV Golf stars are also among the favorites in Bryson DeChambeau at +900, while Jon Rahm is +1200 to round out the top four in the U.S. Open odds.
The U.S. Open revealed on Monday that six golfers have been added to the field, headlined by Ryan Fox fresh off his RBC Canadian Open playoff win. Additionally, the following golfers are slated to compete in the major: Doug Ghim, Takumi Kanaya, Chase Johnson, Riki Kawamoto and Eric Cole.
Oakmont Country Club is expected to present a difficult challenge for even the best golfers. Fox reflected on turning his attention to competing in the major after securing a victory in Toronto.
The field is complete for the 125th U.S. Open. These six players were added to round out the field of 156.

“I saw enough stuff on social media and talked to a couple guys who went earlier this week, and it sounds like it’s going to be a proper beat up. It will be fun,” Fox noted in a press conference on Sunday after winning the Canadian Open.
“I’ve heard it’s a fantastic golf course. It’s hard, the greens are tricky. They’re going to be running scary fast. From what it looks like, the rough is straight hack out. It’s going to be a little different than this week,” Fox added.

“… Probably going to take it easy on Monday and try to figure out Oakmont in two days and see what happens. It’s nice to be in the field, that’s for sure.”
