With so many great players in today's game, it could be argued that it is harder than ever to predict who will win the four major men's golf championships. On the other hand, one could also argue that it is becoming quite easy considering the historical moment of Brooks Koepka. The 29-year-old star is currently the two-time defending champion at both the US Open Championship and the PGA Championship after his end-to-end victory at Bethpage Black. Winning four Majors in an entire race is impressive, but incredibly, Koepka has achieved that total in less than two years by winning four of his last eight openings at the game's biggest events.

So can Koepka keep up this torrid pace? That's the main question as we approach the third Major of the season. But before the world's best battle at Pebble Beach, we will maintain a weekly ranking of the best bets for the 2019 U.S. Open based on the odds of Superbook Westgate Las Vegas. So without further ado, here's our US Open election ranking, for now.

1) Dustin Johnson (7/1); Previous ranking: No. 1

Reason to choose: Sorry, Brooks, but we're giving a little advantage to DJ here because of his stellar trajectory at Pebble Beach. At the annual tour stop, Johnson has two wins and two second places. He was also the 54-hole leader at the 2010 US Open there. Equally important, in his 16 rounds in the four biggest stroke play events of 2019, Johnson's worst score is 70 in the Masters.

Reason for concern: Closing the PGA by completing his second-place Grand Slam, Johnson was stuck on a single major title in his career with 20 victories on the PGA Tour. No one ever said the gods of golf were fair.

2) Brooks Koepka (6/1); Previous rank: No. 2

Reason to choose: According to Las Vegas, Koepka is the favorite option entering a Major for the first time, largely because he's doing an absurd .500 in the most important golf events in his last eight openings. His only outing in Pebble Beach in 2016 produced a T-8. On the other hand, it doesn't matter what this kid does at regular PGA Tour events.

Cause for concern: Brooks is the best player on the field, but Pebble's configuration should allow more players the opportunity to join him than Bethpage Black. He is also trying to win his third consecutive U.S. Open, an achievement that has only been done once. More than a century ago.

3) Tiger Woods (10/1); previous ranking: No. 3

Reason for choosing: Remember the year 2000? In February, Woods recovered from seven strokes back with seven holes to play at Pebble. Three months later, he came back and presented the best performance in the history of golf, winning with a 15-stroke lead. Even during his return after the scandal, Tiger provoked a back-nine of 31 on Saturday and finished T-4.

Cause for concern: Despite his historic win there, Tiger has stayed away from Pebble, largely due to the greens of bumpy poa annua. Considering he's not close to his top with the putter, there's a good chance that these surfaces will give him an adjustment.

4) Jordan Spieth (18/1); Previous ranking: No. 6

Reason to choose: Welcome back to being one of the favorites, Jordan! The guy is really starting to cook on the greens again, leading the field on strokes won: with putting by a wide margin on the PGA. And speaking of wide margins, Spieth won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by four strokes in 2017.

Cause for concern: While Spieth finished T-3 on the PGA, it was never a serious factor on Saturday or Sunday. For someone who has fought so hard on this year's weekends (ranked 201 in the final round score!), it will be interesting to see how he resists the next time he is actually fighting in the home straight.

5)Justin Rose (16/1); Previous rank: No. 7

Reason to choose: when she plays her best, Rose could be said to have the best full game in golf. While the irons (14th in strokes won: approech) and putter (8th in strokes won: putting) remain solid, the driver (54th in strokes won off the tee) has abandoned it. However, in Pebble, Rose won't have to rely so much on the big stick.

Cause for concern: With all the momentum Rose had after winning at Torrey Pines in January to claim first place in the World Golf Rankings, her first two major openings in 2019 (a shocking cut missed in the Masters and a T-29 in the PGA) have been a big disappointment.

The PGA Championship 2018 will feature the presence of three Latin Americans, led by the sensation of recent golf in this part of the American continent, Chilean Joaquin Niemann, who will also share the field with Venezuelan Jhonatan Vegas and Argentine Emiliano Grillo.

Niemann is the favorite of those mentioned above by the bookmakers, this based on the quota he handles in them, which for now is around 80/1. This is a little strange, as the Chilean-born has not yet passed a cut in 'majors', after two participations, both as Amateur: U.S. Open 2017 and Masters 18.

To highlight is that Joaquin is not only the favorite among the South Americans in competition, is also in the top 30 favorites (bookmakers) to take the honors in the last big of this season, which for now has as winners Francesco Molinari (British Open), Patrick Reed (Masters) and Brooks Koepka (U.S. Open).

"Considering that Bellerive has 98 of the top 100 golfers in the world ranking, the fact that Niemann is among the top 30 players moving the most money in Las Vegas bookmakers is simply spectacular. Equally not surprising if you take into account his great campaign as a rookie in the PGA Tour, tour where the 19-year-old golfer adds four Top 10 and six Top 25 in 10 events as a professional," said Golf Channel on its website.

Argentinian Emiliano Grillo's percentages go through a 125/1 quota to win the PGA Championship, while that of Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas moves even further with the 250/1 in his fourth presentation in this 'major'.

The favorite for Las Vegas bookmakers is still the American Dustin Johnson with 9/1. Further behind are Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and local Justin Thomas (defending champion) with 12/1, odds that are half of those presented by Tiger Woods, tenth favorite with odds of 25/1.

PGA Championship: The safest bets

It is about to start the last 'big' of the season, one of the most eagerly awaited appointments. Players count the hours to begin the fight to win one of the most important titles of the year while fans begin to make their bets ... Do you want to know who is the favorite? Can you imagine which golfer is the least likely winner?

The start of the PGA Championship is getting closer and closer, and the PGA fans make their bets on the possible final winner. The main Betting Houses have not wanted to be alien to this important event, and then we will review the current state of the forecasts.

Starting with Bet365, it should be noted that the great favorite is Tiger Woods, whose victory would pay 5 euros for every euro bet. Thanks to his succession of good performances Phil Mickelson is second in the list (15) while Rory McIlroy, former world number 1, is in ninth place (34). The first Spaniard is Sergio Garcia, who appears in the twenty-first position (56). On the other hand, note that the player who is least trusted is Rod Perry, whose triumph would return 2,001 euros for every euro bet.

In Bwin, Tiger Woods is still the main candidate but, in this case, if he gets the title all those who have bet on him would pocket 5.50 euros for each 'invested'. At the same time, the second place in the ranking would be again for Phil Mickelson (17) and Rory McIlroy would appear in the seventh place (29). The great news for Spanish golf is that Sergio Garcia would remain outside the Top Ten and would be in the fifteenth position (41). The one whose options are less taken into account is the English Mike Small (1.001).

In LBApuestas, Tiger Woods is still at the top of the ranking (5), followed once again by a Phil Mickelson who, as we said, has won many integers after his recent successes (17). Sergio Garcia appears in sixteenth place (43) while Mark Sheftic would close the table (1.001).

If we go through Betfair, we see once again how Tiger is the favourite number 1 but, in this house, his victory is paid to 1,50. Phil Mickelson would be second (2.75) while Rory McIlroy would be seventh (3.75). In the case of Sergio Garcia, the Castellonese would appear in twelfth place (4.30) and close the table Sonny Skinner. (151). Of course, here the prizes are the lowest of all those consulted.

he PGA Championship is about to begin and, with this information, everything is ready for... play!
