The 3M Open's Best Contenders
BLAINE, MINNESOTA - JULY 27: Matt Kuchar of the United States acknowledges the crowd after holing ... More out on the 18th holeduring the third round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities on July 27, 2024 in Blaine, Minnesota. (Photo by) Heavy rains batter TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, MN, halting Wednesday's Pro-Am and further softening an already wet course. The saturated fairways, receptive greens, and thick rough at TPC Twin Cities will favor long hitters even more this year than in the past. Previous winners include Tony Finau, Cameron Champ, and Matt Wolff. Last year's winner, Jhonattan Vegas, ranks 41st in driving distance on the longer side of the PGA Tour. The 3M Open features its strongest field in years, with World No. 11 Maverick McNealy, No. 22 Sam Burns, No. 24 Chris Gotterup, and No. 29 Sungjae Im all in the lineup. Sam Burns may seem the obvious favorite as both a long hitter and solid putter, but he has played the tournament just twice in the past five years, finishing T-12 and T-32. McNealy, meanwhile, has a stronger track record at the event, with a 3rd-place finish and a T-16. Chris Gotterup enters on a hot streak after winning the Scottish Open and finishing third at The Open Championship. While he has two previous appearances at the 3M Open without a top-25 finish, his power off the tee makes him well suited to the softened course. However, back-to-back high-pressure weeks could lead to fatigue. PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 03: Keith Mitchell of the United States plays a shot from a ... More bunker during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach Golf Links on February 03, 2024 in Pebble Beach, California. (Photo by) Keith Mitchell has had a lukewarm season but currently ranks 13th in strokes gained off the tee. A rare visitor to Minnesota, Mitchell needs a strong performance to stay on track for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in Memphis. While his putting has been cold, a few hot rounds could make him a legitimate contender. Hometown favorite Franky Capan III returns to the field. He made the cut in a previous 3M Open appearance and, following a strong 2024 season on the Korn Ferry Tour, expectations are high for him to do the same or better this year. When choosing a potential winner at this year's 3M Open, lean heavily on driving and putting stats. Birdies are a must. With wind expected to pick up on Saturday and Sunday and the course playing soft, performance off the tee will be critical.

2025 3M Open odds, picks: Is this the week Tony Finau turns it around?
Following the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the PGA Tour heads back to the U.S. for the 2025 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. The first round from Minnesota begins Thursday morning as players make one last push for the FedExCup Playoffs in the coming weeks. Below we look at 3M Open odds from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. Many of the game's top players are taking the next 2 weeks off ahead of the playoffs, resting and recovering from the trip to Europe for the Open. As such, Sam Burns (+1600), Maverick McNealy (+1800) and Chris Gotterup (+2500) are all among the favorites this week, with former U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark (2500) and the always-popular Rickie Fowler (+4000) also teeing it up. Defending champ Jhonattan Vegas, who won at 17-under 267, opens at +6600. TPC Twin Cities (par 71) is 7,431 yards long and originally opened in 2000 but it underwent a slight renovation in 2024 when five tees were expanded and bunkers were rebuilt, according to the PGA Tour. It only features 3 par-5s so scoring opportunities will be a little bit limited, but players still tend to go low here; the winner has been 15-under or better each year since 2019. 3M Open – Expert picks Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 2:25 p.m. ET. Thompson missed the cut at the Open, but a few weeks ago he tied for 18th at the John Deere Classic and finished 34th at the Rocket Classic. Although he missed the cut here in 2023 in his tournament debut, he's a good fit for this course with his accuracy off the tee. He just needs to get the putter going before the playoffs. This is a short number for Burns, who's the tournament favorite, but he's the top player in the field and in excellent form. Since tying for 13th at the RBC Heritage, he hasn't finished worse than T-30 in a start in the U.S. This is a golden opportunity for him to nab his sixth career win after finishing 12th, 32nd and seventh here in his last 3 starts. Greyserman tied for second here in his debut last year and if not for a couple of missed cuts in the Scottish and British Opens, his odds would probably be shorter than this. But that just means this is a good time to buy some stock in a guy who's finished top 25 in 9 of his 22 starts this season, including a runner-up at the Rocket Classic in his last start in the States. 3M Open picks – Contenders Hoey tied for eighth at the Barracuda Championship last week, which was his third straight made cut and second top-11 finish in his last 3 starts. He made the cut and finished 67th in his tournament debut last year and will look to improve upon that this week. It's been a seriously disappointing year for Finau, who has just 5 top-25 finishes in 17 starts, but he showed signs of life at the Open Championship where he was in contention before fading on the weekend with rounds of 72 and 75. He won this event in 2022, finished third in 2020, seventh in 2023 and 12th last year, so he certainly knows his way around TPC Twin Cities. His worst finish here in 6 starts is a T-28 in 2021. Grillo was the runner up in 2022 after also finishing third in 2020, notching a T-10 in 2023 and T-24 in 2024. He appears to enjoy playing TPC Twin Cities, given his success here, and his game has been in good form for a while. He finished second at the John Deere Classic, losing in a playoff to Brian Campbell. Grillo also impressed with a T-19 at the U.S. Open in June. WATCH: Get ESPN+ 3M Open picks – Long shot Davis has missed 4 cuts and finished no better than T-57 in his last 6 starts, which makes it hard to feel very confident in him. But with such long odds at a course where he's come in 19th, 10th, 16th and 12th in 4 of the last 5 years, he's worth taking a shot on. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!

How to watch the 2025 3M Open, the PGA Tour's summer stopover in Minnesota
Golf's major season is in the books, bound and laminated by Scottie Scheffler's Dunluce dominance. There's still much to play for, though. This weekend's 3M Open teases out a prize pot of FedEx Cup points, possible Ryder Cup recognition and more than $8 million in cash. The PGA Tour heads up north to Arnold Palmer's Deacon's Walk, with first-round action starting Thursday morning. Early coverage of each round is available on ESPN+. CBS broadcasts can also be streamed on Paramount+. The course was designed by Palmer and fellow luminary Tom Lehman back in 2000. TPC Twin Cities boasts four par-5 holes (Nos. 3, 6, 12 and the fateful 18th at 596 yards), and it carries a 145 slope rating (by comparison, the Royal Portrush Golf Club at Dunluce comes in at 140). Last year's winner was Venezuelan veteran Jhonattan Vegas, who finished 17 under par and edged Max Greyserman by a single stroke. Advertisement As we approach opening tee-offs, this year's favorites are Americans Chris Gotterup and Sam Burns, each at +1800 outright on BetMGM. The latter has four top-10 placements this PGA season, most notably a second-place finish at the Canadian Open and then tying for No. 7 at the U.S. Open. Burns' hot June has been partially washed out by an underwhelming July; he tied for 45th at The Open Championship last weekend. The 28-year-old Louisianan scored a 70-65-69-69 at the 2024 3M Open, which was good for 12th. He hits the weekend 15th in Ryder Cup standings; the top six golfers make that national team, captained by Keegan Bradley. Gotterup, meanwhile, arrives in Minnesota on a career-defining run. He raised the Scottish quaich on July 13 at The Renaissance Club, beating out Rory McIlroy off the strength of a magnificent second-round score of 61. He followed that up with a third-place mark at The Open last weekend, recovering from an underwhelming first round to net north of a million dollars. Gotterup, who was born in Maryland and played collegiately at Oklahoma, is the hottest player in the field. He'll need another improbable showing to improve his No. 22 spot on the Ryder Cup table. Gotterup tied for 59th at last year's 3M. Maverick McNealy is third in odds at +2000. He's 11th in Ryder and FedEx Cup points. Scottie Scheffler doesn't need to explain himself. The answer is in the beginning Dustin Johnson ponders his future Matt Fitzpatrick can now say his struggles are behind him Oakmont suspends Wyndham Clark for damaging lockers after missing U.S. Open cut Courtesy of The Athletic's sports betting editor Vik Chokshi: My outright bets are usually based on a couple of models I follow, and I take into account course history and form. I also love betting on long shots, so you'll usually see a bunch of golfers in the +2000 or longer range on my card every week. Here are a couple of guys worth sprinkling pizza money on this week: Outright winner picks (odds via BetMGM) Max Greyserman +3300 Emiliano Grillo +4500 Austin Eckroat +9000 (Photo of Sam Burns: Alex Goodlett / Getty Images)
