2023 U.S. Open one and done picks, sleepers, rankings, purse: Expert PGA Tour predictions, betting advice

The PGA Tour heads to the Los Angeles Country Club on Thursday for the 2023 U.S. Open starting. The 2023 U.S. Open field is playing for a purse of $17.5 million, with the winner taking home $3.15 million. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the 13-2 betting favorite in the latest 2023 U.S. Open odds from Caesars Sportsbook. With their run of recent success in major championships, Scheffler, Rahm, and Koepka will likely be popular 2023 U.S. Open one and done picks this week. Should you target a favorite with your PGA one and done picks or go with a longshot like Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, or Bryson DeChambeau? Before locking in your 2023 U.S. Open one and done picks, you need to see what SportsLine DFS pro and PGA expert Mike McClure has to say. 

The One and Done format is growing in popularity. It has several noticeable similarities to NFL survivor pools, with the main difference being entries are not eliminated with a bad week. Players pick one golfer per week and earn points based on their selected golfer's prize money for that tournament. Golfers can only be used once per season, and the point format makes nailing majors and elevated events critical.

McClure is a DFS legend with over $2 million in career winnings, and he's been red-hot on his PGA picks dating back to the PGA Tour restart in June of 2020. McClure uses his proprietary simulation model to analyze the field and crush his golf picks.

McClure has nailed plenty of One and Done picks, including Luke List at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. At the Farmers Insurance Open, McClure's top One and Done pick, Max Homa, outlasted the entire field to take home his sixth career PGA Tour victory and $1.566 million. At the WM Phoenix Open, McClure nailed Scheffler winning the tournament, taking home $3.6million. At the Genesis Invitational, he was all over Max Homa, who finished in second place and took home $2.18 million. At the Valspar Championship, McClure's top OAD pick, Tommy Fleetwood, finished in third place.

Last week at the RBC Canadian Open, McClure listed Nick Taylor and Tyrrell Hatton as two of his top one and done picks. Taylor would go on to win the tournament, while Hatton finished in third place.

Now, McClure has dialed in on the 2023 U.S. Open golf tournament and just locked in his one and done picks and PGA predictions. You can only see McClure's U.S. Open one and done picks at SportsLine.

Top 2023 U.S. Open One and Done picks

One of McClure's top one and done picks this week for the U.S. Open is world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The world No. 1 has been a dominant force in big events with top-two finishes, including a win at the 2022 Masters, in three of his last six starts in major championships. Scheffler has two wins in 2023, each coming against elite fields in the Phoenix Open and Players Championship.

McClure is projecting Scheffler to finish at or near the top of the final 2023 U.S. Open leaderboard in large part due to his excellence in several key metrics. The 26-year-old ranks first on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained (2.544), strokes gained tee-to-green (2.775), strokes gained off-the-tee (1.096), and strokes gained on approach (1.207). He is sixth in strokes gained around-the-green (0.458). You can see who else to back at SportsLine.
