3M Open Odds 2024: Vegas Overcomes Obstacles to Win It All

Nothing could had stopped Jhonattan Vegas from winning the 2024 3M Open. He faced injuries, which he played through. A ball that landed in a police officer’s arm, which was hilarious. And he needed a birdie on the 18th hole to claim victory, which he sank with relief. Vegas took over as the favorite in the 3M Open odds coming into Day 4, and though Max Greyserman had a fantastic day, it wasn’t enough to defeat Vegas.

Current Favorites to win 3M Open

Odds provided by FanDuel – accurate as of July 28

Tony Finau (+42500 at Caesars Sportsbook)

As Finau prepares for the 2024 3M Open, he’ll be looking to win the tournament for the second time in three years. Finau has gone on to win three other tournaments since then and the 34-year-old plans to make it career win number seven. Since his big win in 2022, Finau went on to finish in a tie for seventh place last year. Sitting 19^th in the official world golf rankings, it’s a bit odd to see Finau as the favorite heading into the event, so make sure to do your research into all contenders.

Sam Burns (+8000 at FanDuel sportsbook)

After a fantastic first three rounds of the British Open, things went a bit sideways for Sam Burns, as he shot an 80 and finished in a tie for 31^st. However, up until then, he looked like a player with a serious chance of winning a major championship. With five career wins, Burns is no stranger to the winner’s circle, and is looking to return to it for the first time since last year’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. Sitting 30^th in the official world golf rankings, Burns has six top-10 finishes in just 17 events this season. Still in search of his first stroke play event win since the Charles Schwab Challenge in May of 2022, you’ll want to keep an eye on Burns in the 3M Open odds.

Sahith Theegala (+1000 at BetMGM sportsbook)

*Odds were +2500

Another player in search of his first victory of 2024 is Sahith Theegala, as he’s gone winless since the Fortinet Championship last year. Sitting at 11^th in the official world golf rankings, Theegala should thrive in the conditions of TPC Twin Cities. Six top-10 finishes in 20 events this year, with two runner-up finishes to go with it, it’s just a matter of time before Theegala can grab another victory. Theegala has never made the cut in three appearances at TPC Twin Cities, but look for that to change this week, as he is one of the rare elite players in the field.

Akshay Bhatia (+60000 at FanDuel sportsbook)

In search of his second win of the season, and third of his career, Akshay Bhatia continues to impress on the PGA Tour. While he missed the cut at the British Open, Bhatia had gone tied for fifth and tied for second in his two appearances before that. He now makes his debut at the 3M Open, but the course should play right into his game. Sitting 28^th in the official world golf rankings, Bhatia has three top-10 finishes in 21 events this year to go along with 11 top-25 finishes.

Luke Clanton (+12500 at Caesars Sportsbook)

*Missed cut

Like Bhatia, Luke Clanton is also making his debut at the 3M Open, where the amateur will continue to look to improve on his recent success. Finishing tied for 41^st at the U.S. Open has opened up a lot of doors for Clanton, as he’s been playing on sponsor’s exemptions. When looking at the 3M Open odds, it’s hard to fathom that an amateur would be a favorite, but here we are. I would stay away from Clanton this week, especially with the guys above in the field, and all the other previous champions who are competing as well.

3M Open Longshot

Lee Hodges (+150000 at Caesars Sportsbook)

*Missed cut

Even after winning the 2023 3M Open, Lee Hodges is considered a longshot in the 3M Open odds, and it’s quite difficult to pinpoint why. After shattering the course record on his way to shooting 24 under par last year, Hodges returns for another crack in the Twin Cities. Sitting 76^th in the official world golf rankings, Hodges has posted five top-25 finishes this year in 22 events started.

3M Open betting trends

A trend to continue to watch at the 3M Open is that the winning score will be in the -20/+ area. Last year should not be viewed as an oddity, as scores may be lower this year. Hodges’ record of -24 could be in serious jeopardy as players look to attack from all angles. Since the inception of the tournament, the lowest winning score was Cameron Champ in 2021 when he shot -15. Look for players to go low right from the get-go, as record scores could be posted at TPC Twin Cities.

3M Open debutants

Rico Hoey (+500000 at DraftKings sportsbook)

The PGA Tour rookie continues to impress as he continues to make debuts on courses. The Puerto Rican native sits 108^th in the official world golf rankings and has posted three top-10 finishes in his inaugural campaign on the PGA Tour. Four top-25 finishes as well have seen him climb up the FedEx Cup standings where he sits 103^rd. He also has an impressive three top-10 finishes in his last four events.

How to read 3M Open betting odds

Reading golf betting odds is just as easy as reading betting odds on any other sport. For example, if you liked Keith Mitchell this week but you weren’t sure he could win, you could be on him to come in the top-5 or the top-10. Let’s say you choose the top-10, and the odds were +360, that means that if you bet $10 you would win $36. This is just one of several ways to bet on the 3M Open this week.

How to bet on the 3M Open

There are several ways to bet on the 3M Open this week. One bet that stands out is that Finau, Burns, and Theegala will all come in the top-20 this week. At +771 that means risk $10 to win $77.10. Since all three are considered big favorites this week, this could be a strong bet in place of betting on each individual to win the tournament.
