The road to the FedEx Cup Playoffs makes its way through Blaine, Minn., this week for the 2024 3M Open beginning Thursday at TPC Twin Cities. Just two weeks remain for players to earn points toward the FedEx Cup standings. After next week’s Wyndham Championship, the top 70 players in the standings will qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs. This week’s 3M Open has attracted several players on the bubble of the top 70. Past 3M champion Tony Finau, who ranks 15th in the FedEx Cup standings, is the +1100 favorite in the 3M Open odds.Â
Sam Burns is second in the odds at +1800 among the 156 players in the 2024 3M Open field. Sahith Theegala (+2000), Akshay Bhatia (+2200) and Luke Clanton (+2800) round out the top five odds this week’s PGA odds board. Before locking in any 3M Open picks, make sure you see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He’s had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been solid with his head-to-head matchups since last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge, going 52-37-5 and returning 11.67 units over that span. That’s a $1,167 profit for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also nailed Wyndham Clark, a +7500 longshot, as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship last year. In 2023, SportsLine debuted “The Early Wedge,” and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.
Now, Nejad has turned his attention to the 2024 3M Open field and locked in his best bets, top sleepers and favorites to avoid. See whom they are at SportsLine.
Top 2024 3M Open expert picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading Theegala, even though he is the third choice in the odds at +2000. Ranked No. 11 in the world, Theegala has six top-10 and nine top-25 finishes in 20 events this season. Last week at the Open Championship, he shot +14 and missed the cut.
In addition, Theegala has never played well in the 3M Open. In three previous appearances, he has never reached the weekend. “While I do think he can have a good tournament, his history at TPC Twin Cities says otherwise,” Nejad told SportsLine.
Another curveball: Nejad is high on J.T. Poston, who is +3500 in the 3M Open odds. Nicknamed the Postman, Poston has four top-10 and eight top-25 finishes in 19 events this season. He has made the cuts in five of his last six events.
Nejad likes that Poston is known as one of the best putters on Tour. He ranks 44th on Tour in strokes gained: putting (+0.300). “His history at TPC Twin Cities is excellent,” Nejad told SportsLine. “He is a prime candidate to be there on Sunday.” See which other players to back at SportsLine.
How to make 2024 3M Open picks
Nejad has locked in his best bets for the 2024 3M Open and is backing multiple longshots, including one priced at more than +5000. This player “grades out very well in the approach department” and is a longshot who could surprise. You can see Nejad’s PGA Tour picks only at SportsLine.
So which players should you target or avoid for the 2024 3M Open, and which player in the 3M Open 2024 field could bring a huge payday of more than +5000?
