The US Open heads to Winged Foot Golf Club in New York in 2020 and looking to successfully defend his crown will be a man who pulled off quite the surprise to win this major tournament in 2019, veteran American Gary Woodland.
Woodland had never placed higher than sixth at a major prior to his success at Pebble Beach, but he was able to fend off the challenge of four-time major winner Brooks Koepka to walk away with the prize.
The bookies are not predicting back-to-back US Open titles for Woodland in 2020 though, they believe Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson are leading the charge, with Tiger Woods not being written off if he goes in search of a fourth US Open crown and first for over decade.
