The 2024 3M Open is set to get underway on Thursday, July 25, and several players will enter TPC Twin Cities confident they can secure the victory. Tony Finau has recorded six wins on the PGA Tour, which includes finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 3M Open in 2022. Finau enters the 2024 3M Open ranked third in strokes gained: approach to green (0.865) and eighth in strokes gained: total (1.194). However, Finau is coming off a missed cut at last week's Open Championship.
Meanwhile, Justin Rose is coming off a T-2 finish at the British Open, just his second top-10 finish this season. Rose has racked up 11 career victories on the PGA Tour but hasn't finished on top of the leaderboard since the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The latest 2024 3M Open odds list Finau as the 10-1 favorite, while Rose is a 55-1 longshot. Other 3M Open contenders include Sam Burns (18-1), Sahith Theegala (22-1) and Akshay Bhatia (25-1). Before locking in your 2024 3M Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .
SportsLine's proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 3M Open: Sam Burns, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn't even crack the top five. Burns has been playing well in recent weeks, finishing T-15 or better in three of his last five starts on the PGA Tour.
However, he has struggled with consistency this season, especially with his iron play. Burns enters this week's event ranked 101st in strokes gained: approach to green (0.016) and 131st in greens in regulation percentage (64.13%). TPC Twin Cities places a premium on precision, which doesn't bode well for Burns' chances to finish on top of the leaderboard. See who else to fade here .
Another surprise: Tom Hoge, a 33-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Hoge is coming off a disappointing showing at the Open Championship, finishing T-72 after shooting an 80 in the final round. However, he has all the tools needed to be in contention this week at TPC Twin Cities. Hoge is currently ranked second in strokes gained: approach to green (0.911), sixth in birdie average (4.31), 14th in putting average (1.725) and 21st in scoring average (69.66). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make Hoge a strong play for your 2024 3M Open bets. See who else to back here .
