Who Will Win the 2025 3M Open?
Below are the five most likely winners of the 2025 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, the result of simulating the tournament over 10,000 times via our AI models, as well as each golfer's odds to finish Top 5, 10 and 20:
Sam Burns - Despite an overall win rate of 5.6%, Burns displayed strong form heading into the overseas stretch, with four consecutive Top 20 finishes. His consistency—made very cut since The Masters—makes him a an appropriately-priced threat at TPC Twin Cities.
Chris Gotterup - Gotterup has caught fire, earning his breakout second PGA Tour win at the Scottish Open two weeks ago by edging Rory McIlroy, followed by an impressive solo third at The Open in his debut. His recent surge has catapulted him into the FedExCup mix and Ryder Cup conversation.
Maverick McNealy - With a win percentage of 4.6%, McNealy is riding strong form—most notably finishing T3 at last year’s 3M Open and delivering solid performances at the Scottish Open (T22) and The Open (T23) this month. Ranking 11th in FedExCup points, he’s a consistent contender who gains strokes tee‑to‑green and thrives on the Twin Cities layout.
Taylor Pendrith - Projected with a win probability of 3.4% and top-20 finishes nearly 40% of the time, he impressed this season with a T5 finish at the PGA Championship and a strong T13 at the Scottish Open. After claiming his first PGA Tour victory at the 2024 Byron Nelson, and four Top 10 finishes this year, Pendrith is due for his next victory.
Adam Scott - At age 44, Scott continues to defy time, boasting a 3.4% win probability and a top-20 finish in over three of his past six events, including two majors. Sitting on the FedExCup Top 70 bubble at 85th, he'll need good push to add to his season total and make the playoffs cut.
Golfer | Win% | Top 5% | Top 10% | Top 20% |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sam Burns | 5.6% | 19.6% | 31.3% | 47.3% |
Chris Gotterup | 5.1% | 17.9% | 29.5% | 45.6% |
Maverick McNealy | 4.6% | 17.7% | 29.4% | 45.2% |
Taylor Pendrith | 3.4% | 13.7% | 24.7% | 39.5% |
Adam Scott | 3.4% | 13.5% | 22.5% | 36.3% |
What is the 2025 3M Open Course and Layout?
The PGA TOUR returns to Blaine, Minnesota this week for the 2025 3M Open, where TPC Twin Cities once again plays host to a pivotal stop on the calendar. With just two events remaining before the FedExCup Playoffs begin, pressure is mounting for players outside the top 70 to make a final push toward qualification.
TPC Twin Cities has been a reliable test since its debut on the PGA TOUR in 2019, offering a fair but scoreable challenge that rewards consistency and comfort on familiar turf. The 7,431-yard, par 71 layout doesn’t throw many surprises at players - with water in play on 15 of 18 holes, the hazards won't sneak up. It favors those who can find fairways, hit greens in regulation, and trust their putters on the smooth, 6,500-square-foot bentgrass surfaces. With its generous landing areas and manageable rough, the course sets up well for aggressive driving and a putter's paradise to finish.
Players who’ve seen TPC Twin Cities before—especially those who’ve had success—will carry an edge, as every champion since 2020 has previously teed it up in Blaine. The course rewards confidence and bold play, which should produce another compelling week of golf as we speed towards the playoffs.

The 3M Open Betting Preview
We're looking at the golfers that our model has identified with a higher probability to win than that implied by the sportsbook odds. The big names are out of the field but with 156 golfers in play, there's plenty of value to be found.
We'll also highlight some standout prop and placement bets if we find any appealing value when perusing the board.
Chris Gotterup (+2700 on Bet365)
First up is Chris Gotterup, the fourth-year pro who's picking up some serious steam on the course.
Gotterup has netted an outright win and a solo third place finish in his past two events, the overseas Scottish Open and The Open Championship. Though he's had his share of missed cuts, he's had just one since April and aside from his missed cut at the RBC Canadian Open, his worst finish in the past three months in a T28.
With the 8th-best driving distance against the TOUR field, Gotteurp sets up well to put himself in position to clean up around the green.
Though he's not the best approach player and his putter is below average, the value on Gotterup is most important - not only is it a good edge with our fair price closer to +1860, he's as short as the co-favorite with Sam Burns at +1800 on multiple other books.

Adam Scott (+4500 on DraftKings)
Moving down the board, though only slightly, we reach Australian Adam Scott with a solid edge at +4500 odds.
A 14-time PGA TOUR winner, he's looking for his first outright victory since the 2020 Genesis Invitational. He's been good this year - though he's coming off a missed cut at The Open, he previously nabbed three Top 20 finishes in his past six events, headlined by a T12 at the US Open and a T17 at the Scottish Open.
Scott will be playing this event for the first time in a bid to improve his FedExCup standings and move up 15 spots between the final two regular season events.
DimersBOT gives him a 3.4% probability to win - though not much, it's enough for a Top 5 probability and our fair odds would be closer to +2840 for a notable edge at +4500 on DraftKings.
Alex Noren (+7500 on FanDuel)
Next up is Swedish veteran Alex Noren, a longer odds play who DimersBOT has been fond of this year.
Noren's season got off to a late start due to some injury recovery, and he's golfed in just 7 events, making 4 cuts.
However, he's had success here - in two tries, he's got a T3 and T13, both in the past five editions.
Also working in his favor, is that he didn't play in The Open, giving him more time off and less travel as opposed to his opponents who are making a quicker turnaround.
Though he's not qualified for any SG data this year, he's typically been a master with the putter and shortening his score around the green. With a 2.5% win probability, our model says he should be closer to a +3900 win probability for some major value.
Additionally, based on his previous results here and his full projections, Noren looks like a ladder play, staggering a unit across his Top 20 (32.6%), Top 10 (19.2%) and Top 5 (+1400) finishes as well.
Victor Perez (+14000 on Bet365)
One more for the road and it's a longshot with serious upside if Perez can find himself in the mix.
At 1.4% probability to win, our model says Perez should be just +7040 - half these odds. That's a $350 difference if you put just $5 on this bet.
So, can he do it? He's had a mixed bag this year, highlighted by six Top 20 finishes, including a T9 as his best.
His metrics are sound - he's ranked 21st in Total Driving, 44th in Putting, 25th on Approach and 9th at hitting Greens in Regulation.
He may not be the perfect match for ball-striker and putting auteur, but he's got some stuff that could put him in threatening competition come the weekend.
Grab him for +14000 at bet365 sportsbook, as he's as low as +10000 elsewhere.
2025 3M Open Prop Bets
You can find more winners with value by digging in to our full 3M predictions with Dimers Pro.
In addition to the outright winner picks with value, we've got placement bet value to consider for this week's 2025 3M Open as well.
Sam Burns Top 10 (+230 on DraftKings)
A quick look at the tournament favorite (and our model's) who holds no value to win, but gets a fair price there.
Burns is coming off a sluggish pair of tournaments overseas but was on hot run before that - five consecutive Top 20s including a 2nd-place playoff finish.
In three appearances at TPC Twin Cities, Burns has a T7, T32 and T12 and enters this tournament with the top-ranked putter, 30th-ranked driving and a very respectable 19th-ranked Birdie Average.
He's not a massive value, but at +230 to finish Top 10, the books say he has a 30% chance while the DimersBOT gives him 31.3%.
Taylor Pendrith Top Canadian (+140 on DraftKings)
For our final pick of the tournament, we're turning to the Nationality market, which has a ton of opportunities this week with the big names sidelined.
Taylor Pendrith is favored in this market, but a look at our model's projections for the full tournament suggest he has bigger lead than maybe the books believe.
Behind Pendrith at +140 are Mackenzie Hughes (+280) and Adam Svensson (+550). Not only does Pendrith crack our Top 5 overall win probabilities with Hughes an Co. outside the Top 30 and beyond, he draws a 39.5% probability to finish Top 20 or better. Hughes gets just 15.3% and Svensson just 4.9%.
DimersBOT says this one isn't even close.
