Following the conclusion of the Open Championship, the PGA Tour heads to Blaine, Minnesota, this week for the 3M Open. The event will take place at TPC Twin Cities from Thursday, July 25, to Sunday, July 28.
The 3M Open will feature a field of 156 players, though many top-ranked professionals will be absent this week. The event has a purse of $8.1 million, with the winner receiving $1.458 million.
Although not many top-ranked golfers are competing at TPC Twin Cities, several players are still aiming to strengthen their cases for the FedEx Cup playoffs. In this article, we will highlight five players to watch this week.
Five names to watch at the 3M Open
1) Billy Horschel
Trending
Billy Horschel is entering the TPC Twin Cities after a heartbreak at the Open Championship. He has had a resurgence this season, making five top tens, including one win and a runner-up finish.
Last year, Horschel finished T13 in his only appearance at the 3M Open. According to CBS, he is +3500 to win this week.
2) Nick Dunlap
Nick Dunlap is set to make his debut at the 3M Open this week, just a few days after his second PGA Tour title. He has already raked in two wins in his rookie year and a good week at TPC Twin Cities will help him to solidify his chances in the Playoffs.
3) Sahith Theegala
Sahith Theegala is set to make his fourth appearance at TPC Twin Cities. Although he hasn't made the cut in his past three appearances here, he is one of the favorites to win this time.
Speaking of recent form, Theegala missed the weekend at Royal Troon, but it was his first missed cut in his past five starts. He has two runner-up finishes this season and will be looking to cross the final hurdle this time.
4) Luke Clanton
Luke Clanton is one of the most talked-about amateurs on the circuit these days. He has achieved two top-ten finishes, including a runner-up finish at the John Deere Classic. In his first four starts, he hasn't finished worse than T41, and this week he is +2800 to win his maiden PGA Tour title at TPC Twin Cities.
5) Tony Finau
Tony Finau is the highest-ranked player in action this week and enters the tournament as the favorite. According to CBS, he has +1000 odds to win the 3M Open for the second time. For those unfamiliar, he won at TPC Twin Cities in 2021 with a one-shot victory over Emiliano Grillo and Sungjae Im.
