Scottie Scheffler proved yet again why he's the unquestioned No. 1 golfer in the world with his Open Championship victory, but with Scheffler skipping the upcoming 2025 3M Open, those in the 2025 3M Open field should feel much better about their chances at a victory.

Vegas won last year’s 3M Open with a final-hole birdie to best Max Greyserman by one stroke. It was Vegas’ first win in seven years and the fourth of his career. If he wins this weekend, he’ll be the first golfer ever to go back-to-back at this event.

The 2025 3M Open is July 24-27 at TPC Twin Cities, where Jhonattan Vegas will look to defend his title. $8.4M in prize money is on the line. Ryan Gerard shot -18 at Tahoe Mountain Club (Old Greenwood), taking home a tournament victory at the Barracuda Championship. Erik van Rooyen finished second (-17).

Here are the favorites and betting odds, plus some expert wagers, for the second-to-last event before the FedExCup Playoffs.

TPC Twin Cities opened in 2000 and the Par-72 course designed by Arnold Palmer and Tom Lehman has hosted the 3M Open since 2019. Measuring 7,164 yards, the course features bentgrass heavily throughout the property with Kentucky bluegrass and fescue in the rough.

It's time for the 2025 3M Open! Will Jhonattan Vegas defend his title? Check out how to watch the action on ESPN+ now.

Most of the 156 players in the field are on the outside of the top 70, so points are just as important as shares of the $8.4 million purse. Only four players from the top 30 of the world rankings are scheduled to compete: Maverick McNealy, Sam Burns, Sungjae Im and Wyndham Clark. That’s a massive opportunity for the game’s grinders.

The first Minnesotan to earn a fully exempt PGA Tour card since 2013, the 25-year-old has made the cut seven times in 20 events in his rookie season. He has one Top 10 and two Top 25 finishes and was third with partner Jake Knapp at the team-competition Zurich Classic in New Orleans last April.
