Following championship favorite Scottie Scheffler’s victory at The Open Championship, we now head to the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota.
Being the week after a Major, the field isn’t as strong as we have seen in previous weeks, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an exciting tournament, with two stroke winning margins being the difference in over half the 3M Opens.

What’s more, with a weaker field, there is arguably more value to be had, especially as the big names like Scheffler and Rory McIlroy aren’t present, meaning a wider spread of odds.
As of writing, Chris Gotterup and Sam Burns are the tournament favorites at +1800, with multiple recognized players providing eye-catching odds, especially when it comes to sleeper picks.
Last year, for example, Jhonattan Vegas won the 3M Open for his first PGA Tour victory in seven years. Coming into the tournament, he had odds of over +10000, showing that one strong week can make a huge difference.
Below, we’ve noted down a couple of sleeper picks we believe could well be worth an each-way bet at the 2025 3M Open.

Max McGreevy (+9000)
The 2024 Korn Ferry Tour graduate missed the cut at the Rocket Classic and John Deere Classic before flying over to Scotland and also missing the weekend at Renaissance Club. However, he’s clearly found something in his game as, back home at the Barracuda last week, the Oklahoman played a brilliant tournament to finish T4.
McGreevy is relatively unknown but he won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour last year before triumphing at the prestigious Dunlop Phoenix Tournament on the Japan Golf Tour at the end of 2024. He knows how to win and seems to have found something in his game, so I like his chances.
David Skinns (+25000)
I can’t resist Skinns at odds of +25000 considering the form he has found these last two weeks.
The Englishman definitely blows hot and cold but is worth a look at the 3M Open after posting a T8 at the Barracuda last week after a T4 at the ISCO Championship in his previous start. Skinns was also T9 at last month’s RBC Canadian Open and was a solid T24 here in 2024.
