3M Open: 2025 PGA Tour Betting Odds
American Sam Burns is favoured on the 3M Open golf odds.
Now that the major championship part of the 2025 PGA Tour schedule is finished with Scottie Scheffler winning the British Open on Sunday in Northern Ireland, it’s time to focus on the FedExCup playoffs. Although, it frankly doesn’t much matter who wins the playoffs at this point as Scheffler probably just locked down yet another PGA Tour Player of the Year Award with his stellar performance at Royal Portrush to win his first Claret Jug. The world No. 1 is simply a machine.
A handful of guys who played the British Open will play this week, but there are no world Top 10 players teeing it up. The 3M Open is the penultimate event of the regular season so a lot of guys near the playoff cut-off line are competing especially and also will next week in North Carolina. Earlier this year, the 3M and the Tour announced a five-year extension of 3M’s title sponsorship of the event to assure it stays put at least through 2030.
This is the seventh year of the 3M Open, all held at TPC Twin Cities, a par 71 at approximately 7,430 yards located about 15 miles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul and designed by the late Arnold Palmer and his company. Former world No. 1 and Minnesota native Tom Lehman was the player consultant for the layout. One of the course’s signature holes, the par-4 17th, is named “Tom’s Thumb” after Lehman.
The defending champion is Venezuela’s Jhonattan Vegas. He snapped a seven-year victory drought on the Tour by making a 3-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole in 2024 to finish at 17-under 267 and one up Max Greyserman. It was Vegas’ fourth career PGA Tour win and first since winning the RBC Canadian Open back-to-back in 2016 and 2017.
He also had a runner-up in the tournament in 2021 but missed nearly all of the 2022-23 season with elbow and shoulder injuries. The 40-year-old hasn’t won since and is having an awful year and is thus a +6600 longer shot to repeat. No player has won this event twice. An American had won it the first six years and that was our simple choice last year. The USA’s Greyserman (+3300 this week) nearly forced a playoff with his final-round 63 and was in the clubhouse watching as Vegas sunk his winning putt.

Still hard to believe the USA’s Sam Burns (+1600) hasn’t won on Tour since 2023, but he’s the favourite this week. Burns rarely misses a cut (T45 at British Open) and was T12 here last year. Maverick McNealy (+2000) is the highest-ranked player in the world competing at No. 11, and he was T3 here last year. McNealy, who is pushing for a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, has six Top-10 finishes so far this year.
Chris Gotterup (+2500) and Wyndham Clark (+2500) are the only other players below +3000. Gotterup had a terrific swing overseas, winning the Scottish Open and then finishing third at the British. He hasn’t contended in a few trips to this tournament. Clark is not having a good year, has been banned from Oakmont and has not contended previously here. Aussie Adam Scott (+3300) is set to make his tournament debut as he tries to make the FedExCup playoffs.
No Canadian has won here. Taylor Pendrith was the top finisher in 2024 in solo fifth, while Mackenzie Hughes was T19, Adam Svensson T37 and Ben Silverman T53. Roger Sloan and Adam Hadwin missed the cut. I do give Pendrith a shot this year and he’s +3300 to win – we’d take him for a Top 10. Hughes is +10000, Hadwin +20000, Svensson +20000 and Silverman +25000.

We’d back an American vs. the field but individually prefer Maverick McNealy (+2000) for career win No. 2.
