Despite the public perception, the U.S. Open is the biggest and most important tournament played on American soil all year.

The Masters may get most of the hype, but the U.S. Open is the national championship, and the best golfers in the world are joined by the most deserving qualifying non-touring pros and top amateurs.

The U.S. Open is regularly played at the toughest courses, which are designed to reward golfers who hit the ball accurately and for distance. However, thick rough and difficult hazards punish golfers who don't keep the ball on the fairway.

This year's U.S. Open will take place at Chambers Bay in Washington. This is a new track for the PGA Tour, marking the first time the U.S. Open will be played in the state of Washington. 

Here's a look at the four favorites in the field, according to Vegas Insider.

Rory McIlroy (5-1), is favored to come out on top in the U.S. Open. The No. 1 player in the world won the U.S. Open in 2011 and has won the British Open once and the PGA twice. McIlroy has a lot going for him statistically this season, as he is averaging 305.8 yards off the tee, ranking eighth on the tour. 

McIlroy has gained an average of 2.0 strokes tee to green this year, ranking first on the tour. He also has hit 70.45 percent of his greens in regulation, ranking seventh on the tour. 



Jordan Spieth (8-1) will be going after his second major of the year after his dominant victory at the Masters. 

Spieth is the FedEx Cup points leader and is averaging 69.1 strokes per round this season, the best on the tour. Spieth has played 16 events this season and has two victories, three second-place finishes and one third-place. He also has nine top-10 performances.

Spieth has gained an average of 1.6 strokes from tee to green, ranking third on the tour. He has earned more than $6 million in prize money.
