Course Overview
TPC Twin Cities is a par-71 layout measuring 7,431 yards. The course features generous scoring opportunities, large and relatively flat greens, and several challenging par-3s. Since its inception in 2019, the winning score has ranged between 15-under and 24-under par. Kurt Kitayama won last year at 23-under.Ball-striking will be the key this week, as strong tee-to-green play often outweighs putting on these flatter greens.

3M Open Expert Picks & Best Bets
Best Outright Pick: Scottie Scheffler (+275)
Scheffler returns to the 3M Open for the first time and enters as the heavy favorite. Coming off a T-4 finish at The Open, he remains the strongest all-around player in a weakened field. Even an average performance with the putter should be enough for him to contend.
Strong Contender PicksTom Kim (+3500)
Excellent recent ball-striking (4th in SG: Tee-to-Green over the last 3 months). TPC Twin Cities rewards players who hit the ball well, making Kim a strong fit despite recent putting struggles.
Hideki Matsuyama (+2800)
Matsuyama has shown improved form with solid finishes at the Travelers Championship and The Open. He has a strong history at this event (T7 in 2019) and brings a well-rounded game.
Kurt Kitayama (+2500)
The defending champion arrives with elite ball-striking form (2nd in SG: Tee-to-Green). His recent links performances are not a major concern given his strong history at TPC Twin Cities.
Value PicksMichael Brennan (+6000)
Strong tee-to-green numbers and could benefit from the flatter greens.
Emiliano Grillo (+6000)
Outstanding course history with multiple top-25 finishes, including runner-up in 2022.
Jackson Suber (+5000)
In solid recent form and ranks highly in ball-striking.
Long Shots to Consider
Lucas Glover (+10000) — Excellent tee-to-green play and recent top-5 finishes.
Zach Bauchou (+12500) — One of the best ball-strikers in the field.
