Scottie Scheffler arrives at the 2026 3M Open as the clear betting headliner, with FanDuel Sportsbook listing the world No. 1 at +260 to win this week at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota.
The tournament starts Thursday on a par-71 course measuring 7,431 yards. Scheffler is chasing his first victory since Jan. 25, according to CBS Sports, despite a season packed with close calls: four runner-up finishes, two third-place results, 10 top-fives and 15 top-25 finishes.
Kurt Kitayama, last year’s champion, is back in the field after winning the 2025 event by one shot over Sam Stevens. FanDuel lists Kitayama at +2500, behind only Scheffler among the names highlighted near the top of the market.

- Keith Mitchell: +3300

Why Kannon is passing on Homa
SportsLine golf handicapper Brady Kannon has made Max Homa one of his golfers to avoid this week, according to CBS Sports. Homa is priced at +5500 at FanDuel, but Kannon said he is not using him in outright or head-to-head wagers.
Kannon’s case centers on price and fit. He said Homa first caught his attention, then lost appeal once he saw the number. In Kannon’s view, Homa has shown signs of form but has not sustained it across all four rounds.
Kannon also pointed to Homa’s driving and iron numbers. He said Homa ranks 107th on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy, 120th in strokes gained approach and 104th in greens in regulation. Kannon acknowledged Homa still has length and a strong putter, but said misses off the tee could bring rough and water into play at TPC Twin Cities.
Homa recently finished second at the John Deere Classic, which Kannon described as a related course when evaluating this week’s field. Kannon said that result came at a much bigger betting price and against a field that did not include Scheffler.
Kannon has more than 30 years of industry experience, according to SportsLine. The site says he has identified eight major winners since 2013 and hit six PGA Tour outright winners in 2025, including Harris English at 110-1 at the Farmers Insurance Open and Matt Fitzpatrick at 15-1 at the Valspar Championship.
SportsLine also says Kannon’s 3M Open card includes a longshot around 90-1, described by him as strong with the driver, though the player’s name was not made public in the CBS Sports report.
