The 2015 U.S. Open boasts a field of exciting players capable of producing an extremely compelling tournament. Some of these top contenders enter the year's second major with a great deal of momentum; however, others remain big question marks.

We have the likes of the surging Jordan Spieth, who won the Masters earlier this year and hasn't looked back. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy will look to claim his fifth major title, but he's coming off of two consecutive missed cuts. Phil Mickelson aims to (finally) complete his career Grand Slam after previously notching six runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open.

Then we have the curious case of Tiger Woods. Ranked No. 195 in the world (you read that right), Woods enters the U.S. Open with his lowest rank since 1996—the year he won his very first PGA Tour tournament. He'll be looking to claim his fourth U.S. Open title and first since his memorable 2008 playoff victory over Rocco Mediate.

These players will be competing on a course that resembles more of an Open Championship style than a U.S. Open layout. Chambers Bay was only opened in 2007 and features huge fairways, massive greens, few trees and plenty of greenside fescue sure to give players fits. So far, the tournament's contenders haven't exactly been impressed with the track, according to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post.

So, while we await what is poised to be a very intriguing U.S. Open to commence, let's take a look at the current Vegas odds and pinpoint several players to keep a keen eye on at Chambers Bay.
