The PGA Tour is preparing for another event this weekend when the PGA Tour’s top players will descend on TPC Twin Cities for the next tournament of the year, the 2025 3M Open. It is time to talk about who might be victorious this weekend and claim victory.

With this being the next event, who will we see win this event? Will Johnattan Vegas repeat again in 2025?

Who will claim victory at the 3M Open?

When it comes to making predictions/picks for golf, there is a method to my madness. The first step in the process is to take a look at the course, and past winners. Let’s see what the 3M has in store for fans this weekend:

2025 3M Open

TPC Twin Cities, Par 71, 7,431 yards

Past Winners

2024: Johnattan Vegas

2023: Lee Hodges

From this point, we have to take a look at who the odds-on favorites are to win the tournament. Here are the Top 5 favorites to win, and these odds are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook:

Top 5 Odds

• Sam Burns (+1800)
• Chris Gotterup (+1800)
• Maverick McNealy (+2000)
• Wyndham Clark (+2500)
• Max Greyserman (+2800)

My Picks

Every time I produce picks, I break them down in the a variety of picks. You don’t have to make these plays, but this is where I’m leaning in this week’s contest. My favorite picks are players who are less than +2000 odds, with the long shot picks greater than +2000 odds. For this week’s event, here are my Favorite and Long Shot picks:

Favorite: Chris Gotterup (+1800)

Long Shot: Jake Knapp (+3500)

The next phase of my picks are players who are slated to finish within a certain area on the leaderboard. The Top 5, 10, 20 picks also include ties, so if a player finished T-20 and you had them as a Top 20 pick, you win. Here are my plays, and the odds, for this week’s signature event:

Top 5

Sam Burns (+360)

Maverick McNealy (+400)

Top 10

Jake Knapp (+320)

Chris Gotterup (+200)

Top 20

Rickie Fowler (+175)

Tony Finau (+170)

BONUS PICKS

Betting on golf is multi-faceted, and you can increase your odds on winning outside of the outright winner bet with different types of bonus bets. This would include the Double and Triple bets, but also different bets which can still get you plus odds. There are other specials plays, but we’ll save those for the big tournaments on the schedule. Here are my bonus plays for this week:

Double: Chris Gotterup or Sam Burns to win (+850)

Triple: Chris Gotterup, Maverick McNealy or Sam Burns to win (+600)

Winning Margin: 2 shots (+360)
