2024 3M Open odds, picks, fantasy golf power rankings: PGA Tour predictions and best bets for this week's event from golf expert
Xander Schauffele captured his second major championship of 2024 with a brilliant final round 65 at Royal Troon to defeat his nearest competitors, Justin Rose and Billy Horschel, by two strokes. While Schauffele looks to defend his Olympic Golf gold medal from 2021 next week in Paris, he is bypassing this event as are many towards the top of the FedExCup Standings. But many of those who are near the bottom or outside the top 70 will tee it up this week and in two weeks at the Wyndham Championship in their bid to secure a playoff spot. TPC Twin Cities hosts this week's 3M Open and plays as a lengthy par-71 at 7,431 yards and features water in play on 15 of the 18 holes. A field of 156 golfers will play in Minnesota in search of an $8.1 million purse, with a winner's share of more than $1.4 million.Â
Tony Finau, the 2022 winner of this event is atop the odds board at +1000, followed by Sam Burns (+1800), Sahith Theegala (+2000), Akshay Bhatia (+2500), amateur Luke Clanton (+2800), with Tom Hoge, Billy Horschel, Keegan Bradley, and Keith Mitchell at +3000.
With the PGA Tour making its annual stop in the Twin Cities, who can you trust for your 3M Open golf picks? Before you set your 3M Open golf lineups or make any PGA Tour bets, you NEED to see the Fantasy golf rankings from Fantasy expert Eric Cohen.
Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner of the 2024 John Deere Classic (Davis Thompson +2200), 2024 U.S. Open (Bryson DeChambeau +2000), 2024 Players Championship (Scottie Scheffler +550), 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic (Rickie Fowler +1400), 2023 PGA Championship (Brooks Koepka +2000), 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 U.S. Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500), and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scheffler's first career victory at +2800).Â
Eric is a contributor to SportsLine's YouTube shows including "Early Edge" and is the host of "The Early Wedge" golf show (live on Tuesday, July 23rd at 7 p.m. ET). Anyone who has followed Cohen's predictions is up big! Now, Cohen has studied the field set to play at TPC Twin Cities and revealed his 3M Open Fantasy golf rankings.Â
We can tell you he is backing Emiliano Grillo as one of his top picks at 50-1 odds. "I'm playing the horse for the course angle with the Argentinian who needs a big finish to the regular season in order to have a chance at making this year's Presidents Cup team. In four trips here, Grillo has finishes of T3-T2-T10 and has excelled in all facets of his game."
On the other hand, Cohen is fading Sahith Theegala as one of the oddsmakers' top choices at 20-1 odds. "[Theegala] has missed the cut in all three appearances here, posting negative strokes against the field. He generally has been negative with his putting of late, losing in four of his last six events, despite a big spike week at The Renaissance Club two weeks ago."
Cohen also is backing several underdogs in his 2024 3M Open fantasy golf picks, including one HUGE longshot who comes in at 200-1! If this player can pull off a stunning result, he would bring a HUGE payoff and be a valuable piece for 3M Open Fantasy golf lineups. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any fantasy golf picks.
