With the 102nd PGA Championship fast approaching, the key question everyone is asking is the same across the golf world: Who are you picking to win at TPC Harding Park? With a tremendous field featuring 95 of the top 100 golfers in the world along with plenty of PGA of America amateurs, the first and only major of the 2019-20 season should be an epic ride from Thursday's first round onward.

The storylines are plentiful this week. Brooks Koepka is looking to become the first golfer to win three straight PGA Championships since the 1920s, while Justin Thomas hopes to continue his tremendous play not only this season but at this tournament. Some of the biggest names -- Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson -- are still trying to find their grooves, and of course, Jordan Spieth is attempting to complete the career grand slam at an event that has given him difficulty in the past.

So what is going to happen later this week in New York? Let's take a look at a full set of predictions and picks from our CBS Sports experts. Check out a full set of odds via William Hill Sportsbook along with the tee times for Thursday's first round.

2020 U.S. Open expert picks, predictions

Kyle Porter, golf writer

Winner -- Jon Rahm (10-1): The two toughest golf tournaments of 2020 have both been won by Rahm. He took the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village and the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields, both impressively against loaded fields. Those tournaments serve as facsimiles for this U.S. Open, and Rahm has the short game to stand up even if he doesn't have his best tee-to-green package at Winged Foot.

Sleeper -- Adam Scott (50-1): Scotty has a world-class short game and the iron play Winged Foot demands. He has not played as much as most of the other stars in this field, but his top 25 finish at TPC Harding Park a month ago was impressive given that it was his first tournament in five months. He's finished in the top 20 in four of his last six U.S. Opens.

Top 10 lock -- Dustin Johnson: I think he'll fall back a bit from the heater he's been on, but the heater has been so hot that even if he falls back it will likely be into the top 10 somewhere. He's finished in the top five in four of his last six U.S. Opens, including that win at Oakmont in 2016.

Star who definitely won't win -- Bryson DeChambeau: His style just is not going to work this week. It will work a lot over the next 10-15 years, and he'll win a lot of tournaments. But his short game is not where it needs to be, and he won't be able to decimate Winged Foot like he has other courses on the PGA Tour.

Top 5 in order: Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed

Surprise prediction: Tiger Woods will miss the cut. Maybe this is not surprising to some who have been following closely, but it will be to a broader audience that only tunes into the major championships. His game is not sharp and not where it needs to be to contend at a U.S. Open. He won't miss the cut by a lot, but he'll be on the line all week long and ultimately fall on the wrong side of it come Friday evening.

Lowest round: 67 (-3)

Winning score: 285 (+5)

Winner's Sunday score: 72 (+2)

Winner -- Jon Rahm (10-1): For most of the PGA Tour season after the restart, professional golf was a scoring bonanza. Whoever could get hot and roll off the most birdies would be in contention to win, and then on Sunday, the absence of fans helped alleviate some of the pressure that came from those late afternoon tee times. But two tournaments stood out where the combination of course design and tournament-week maintenance provided a unique challenge to the field: the Memorial and the BMW Championship. Rahm won both those events because he's got world-class form that separates him from the rest when faced with a course that demands all of the shots. His well-rounded game and continued maturity as a star on this stage sets up perfectly to win his first major championship and keep this hot streak going into the fall.

Sleeper -- Matthew Fitzpatrick (60-1): Applying the same system here, Fitzpatrick finished third at the Memorial and tied for 6th at the BMW Championship making him the only other player (with Rahm) to log a top 10 at both events. You're also betting on some championship history as the USGA has not been the menace to Fitzpatrick like it is for some young stars. He's made the cut in all five of his career starts at the U.S. Open, was the low amateur in 2014 and logged 12th place finishes at Shinnecock Hills in 2018 and Pebble Beach in 2019.

Top 10 lock -- Xander Schauffele: There's just no holes in his game. Schauffele doesn't quite keep up with the distance of the bombers, isn't so dialed in that he pulls away from the field on approach shots and has been known to struggle with his putter from time to time, yet the 26-year-old is top 10 in strokes gained tee-to-green, top 10 in strokes gained total and had seven top-10 finishes on the season. And these are big stage top 10s, too, finishing as the runner-up at the Tour Championship, tied for 10th at the PGA Championship and a tied for 6th at the WGC in Memphis. Schauffele succeeds on the game's biggest stages because he can hang in there even when he doesn't have his fastball, and that kind of resilience will be a key at Winged Foot.

Star who definitely won't win -- Justin Thomas: I like J.T. more at events where you're going to be able to go on a run of birdies and not only is that not the U.S. Open in principle, but it's definitely not the case at Winged Foot. His best U.S. Open finish was in 2017 at Erin Hills when a record 31 players finished the tournament under par, coming in at T9 after a rollercoaster weekend with a white-hot 63 on Saturday and then a course-correcting 75 on Sunday. He's playing well enough that he could definitely finish top 10, but it's not the right fit for him to be the winner.

Top 5 in order: Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Cantlay, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson

Surprise prediction: Phil Mickelson flirts with the lead on Thursday. He's too amped up and loose after dominating his first Champions Tour start and spending all week talking about his 2006 choke, the huge bet on him to win and -- oh yeah -- the annual U.S. Open and grand slam talking points. It's his first U.S. Open after turning 50, and I think he comes out with stellar stuff, sending the golf world into a frenzy. He'll probably fade the background and might even miss the cut, but I think we get some Thursday thrills from Phil.

Lowest round: 66 (-4)

Winning score: 278 (-2)

Winner's Sunday score: 71 (+1)

Betting Odds To Win Us Open Golf

Winner -- Collin Morikawa (18-1): That's right, back-to-back majors for the rookie. He's a monster with his irons and always plays with control, which will be crucial to success at what's sure to be a week filled with carnage at Winged Foot. If he can shape his irons with sauce like he always does and get by around the greens, he'll be in the mix to win his second consecutive major championship after taking home the PGA Championship last month.

Sleeper -- Phil Mickelson (80-1): At some point, karma has to take Phil's side, right? He's finished second or T2 in the U.S. Open on six different occasions throughout his career, some of which include some close-but-not-quites of haunting proportions. It feels like the world owes him at least one -- and there's no better year to do it than this one. He just turned 50 and has had some brilliant moments of late, including a win on the Senior Tour and a T2 finish at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

Top 10 lock -- Dustin Johnson (17/2): Generally, I have less confidence in D.J. than most of golf's stars, but I just can't fade him this week. He's coming off a Tour Championship win and a FedEx Cup Playoff win, and he has finished T2 or better in four consecutive outings dating back to the PGA last month. This is the best and most consistent D.J. we've ever seen, and I expect it continues with a top-10 finish this week.

Star who definitely won't win -- Rory McIlroy: Since winning the U.S. Open in historic fashion in 2011, Rory's been unable to recapture the magic with four missed cuts in eight U.S. Open outings in the years since. McIlroy has played well in his last two outings, but it's hard to ignore how pedestrian his outings were in the previous seven since the pandemic, six of which he finished outside the top 30.

Top 5 in order: Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele

Surprise prediction: Rahm holds the No. 1 spot on the leaderboard at the conclusion of at least two rounds. He's an artist off the tees and has a way of rising to the occasion when the course turns tough, which should play into his favor this week.

Lowest round: 68 (-4)

Winning score: 285 (-3)

Winner's Sunday score: 70 (-2)

The philosophy of the United States Golf Association (USGA) is to make the US Open the most rigorous, yet fair examination of golf skills while testing all forms of shot-making. It’s an examination of strategy and course management, and also a test of patience and mental strength. So, the USGA likes to set up the golf course to not only test the top player’s skill level with difficult course conditions, but also test players’ mental makeup and survival skills. Efficiency, endurance and energy no doubt play a large part in a player’s ability to excel and execute in a pressure-packed environment

Winged Foot was designed by A. W. Tillinghast in 1923. The course lost 20-25 trees due to Tropical Storm Isaias in August, but that’s not reflected in this hole-by-hole flyover video of the course. There are just two holes where water comes into play (15 and 16), and 76 sand bunkers that can catch balls that miss the fairway or greens.

From 2016-2018, Gil Hanse recaptured the original contours and size of the greens through a design and restoration project that included rebuilt greens, bunkers and new back tees on seven holes to extend the yardage for this year’s US Open to 7,477 yards.

Winged Foot has always presented a difficult challenge when hosting the US Open, as only two players out of 750 that have competed have broke par.

Odds To Win The 2021 Us Open Golf

This year, 14 golfers return who played in the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot. That includes 50-year-old Phil Mickelson, who was one of the favorites back then and needed par on the 72^nd hole to win. He made double-bogey to finish 6-over-par and lost by one stroke. Mickelson now has six runner-up finishes in the US Open, but he’s not expected to challenge this year with odds of +8000 at both FanDuel and DraftKings.

This past week, a bettor at William Hill in Las Vegas placed $45,000 bet on Mickelson to win the 2020 US Open at 75/1 odds. Should Phil win, the bettor will be rewarded with $3.375 million. The wager represents the second-largest liability for an individual golf wager in William Hill’s US history.

Factors beyond the numbers for betting favorites

This year’s US Open is at Winged Foot is the quintessential test with very thick rough just off the fairways and tougher scoring conditions. No major championship since the 2006 US Open at Winged Foot has played tougher as there were less than 1.8 birdies per round.

These players have experienced more success in scoring and results at recent US Opens, showing they can handle the conditions and skills necessary to be most competitive.

Xander Schauffele: T3 (-7), T6 (+6), T5 (-10) last three years
Henrik Stenson: T9 (-5) and T6 (+6) last two years
Justin Rose: T3 (-7) and T10 (+7) last two years
Matthew Fitzpatrick: T12 (-4), T12 (+8) last two years
Patrick Reed: three top-15 finishes last five years including 4^th (+4) in 2018
Webb Simpson: T16 (-3) and T10 (+7) last two years
Louis Oosthuizen: Five straight top-25 finishes including T2 (-4) in 2015 and T7 (-6) in 2019

Total driving stats, Off the Tee, Tee to Green and accuracy are significant when evaluating players and strokes gained stats for Winged Foot. There will be a greater penalty for missing fairways and approach play with mid and longer iron play of significance as there are seven par 4s from 450 to 500 yards and six of them are the toughest scoring holes on the course.

Length off the tee will be beneficial if players can find the fairway more often. Players that putt better on poa annua greens will have an edge. But mental strength and the ability to manage your emotions and game while grinding through tougher conditions is also what it takes to challenge for a spot on the leaderboard by Sunday.
