2026 U.S. Open Tee Times: Shinnecock Hills Groupings Set Stage for Betting Markets

The release of the official tee times and groupings for the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills has set the stage for a massive week of action. With the tournament running from June 18-21, sportsbooks are preparing for heavy volume in tournament matchups and first-round leader markets. The historic Southampton, New York venue will host a star-studded 156-player field, including defending champion J.J. Spaun and top-ranked stars like Scottie Scheffler +645 (Pinnacle) and Rory McIlroy +35000 (FanDuel).

Notable Groupings and Storylines

Highlighting the unique groupings, the USGA paired three golfers with Oklahoma State ties together. Former Cowboys Peter Uihlein +500000 (Bovada) and Sam Stevens +5500 (Bovada) will play alongside current OSU amateur Eric Lee +500000 (Bovada). This trio will tee off on Thursday at 5:57 a.m. CT from the 10th tee, before switching to the 1st tee on Friday at 11:52 a.m. CT. Another OSU amateur, Ethan Fang, will play with Jayden Schaper and Jackson Suber. Meanwhile, former champion Wyndham Clark -227 (DraftKings) remains a key figure to watch in the field.

Two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau +3000 (FanDuel) has already highlighted the severe penalty of missing the fairways at Shinnecock Hills. In a recent social media video, DeChambeau attempted a shot from the deep rough, only for the ball to travel a few feet. "It's not that bad," DeChambeau initially remarked, before his swing produced a disappointing result, prompting him to admit, "Oh boy. Well, you can't hit it there." DeChambeau, who missed the cut at the PGA Championship, is looking for a rebound alongside other top contenders like Jon Rahm +1800 (FanDuel). McIlroy will also draw significant eyes as he tees off alongside two of his Ryder Cup teammates.

Fans and bettors can follow the action across multiple networks. Thursday and Friday coverage begins on USA Network and NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) before shifting to NBC and Peacock for afternoon windows. Over the weekend, USA and NBC will split the television broadcasts, with full streaming coverage available daily on Peacock, DirecTV, and other major streaming platforms.
