PGA Tour: 3M Open Top 20

Platform comparison

Market context

The 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities is typically a low-scoring event, and that matters for a top-20 market because it compresses the gap between elite names and the chasing pack. Recent pricing has again clustered around established Tour regulars, with Scottie Scheffler, Maverick McNealy, Tony Finau and Sahith Theegala all among the shorter outright lines, while the market’s current 81% yes price implies traders expect the named player to be comfortably inside that depth rather than needing a win to cash.[1][2][3]

That probability sits in a familiar range for a player with credible form in a field that has historically rewarded birdie-making and sustained scoring. PGA Tour reporting notes that previous 3M Open winners have tended to arrive with long pre-tournament odds, including Lee Hodges in 2023 and Tony Finau in 2022, which is a reminder that course fit and week-to-week putting can reshuffle the top 20 even when the headline favourites are heavily backed.[4][5] By contrast, sportsbooks this week have still kept a broad second tier in play, suggesting the event is deep enough that a top-20 finish is usually available to anyone carrying recent form rather than only the very top seeds.[1][3]

For traders, the main catalysts are late tee-sheet changes, any pre-tournament withdrawal, and final team-style support signals such as caddie or coaching adjustments, especially for players arriving after a busy stretch on the PGA Tour schedule.[4][7] PGA Tour’s odds outlook also shows the field contains several high-profile names with varying recent records, so a single missed cut, illness note or late injury report could move the top-20 outlook quickly before the opening round.[4][7]

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
