With the completion of The Open Championship at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, the PGA Tour traveled to TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota for the upcoming 3M Open, which will take place from July 27 to July 30.

The tournament features a stellar field with some renowned golfers, who have been playing pretty well this season.

Tony Finau, who won two events this season, is the favorite to win the tournament coming Sunday. He will enter the field as the defending champion and has a birdie average of 4.29. However, he missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and The Open Championship.

Another top contender for the event is Cameron Young, who finished eighth at the Major last week. The 2021 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has been putting in incredible performances throughout the season. He finished sixth at the John Deere Classic and 32nd at The US Open.

Sepp Straka, who tied for second place at The Open, has topped the power rankings of the 3M Open and has odds of 30-1 for the PGA Tour event this week. Straka has only missed the cut at one event in his last seven outings. He finished fourth at the John Deere Classic and 64th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters winner, is also among the favorites for the title this week. His odds for the tournament are 18-1.

Emiliano Grillo had an amazing game at The 2023 Open Championship, and will be looking for a victory at the event. His odds for the 3M Open are 28-1.
