Expert Picks: 3M Open - PGA Tour

What the report says

PGATOUR.com’s Expert Picks column for the 3M Open, published with a July 21, 2026 URL, previewed the tournament through fantasy-golf and betting angles rather than reporting a competition result. The piece framed the event as part of a refreshed Expert Picks format tied to 2026 updates to PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf, including the ability to adjust rosters during the tournament.

The article said PGATOUR.com experts will make weekly fantasy selections, with each roster made up of four starters, one of them designated as captain, plus two bench players who can be rotated after rounds. It also noted a usage limit: each golfer may be selected only three times in each of the three fantasy segments. The column directed readers to Rob Bolton’s Power Rankings for additional field analysis and invited the public to join the PGA TOUR Experts league.

On the betting side, Will Gray of TOUR and Golfbet Editorial & Distribution highlighted Ben James for a top-20 finish at +210, citing his early form since earning a PGA TOUR card, and Jason Day for a top-20 finish at +260 as Day tries to improve his FedExCup Playoffs position near the top-70 cutoff. Chris Breece of Golfbet pointed to Sungjae Im for a top-10 finish and ties at +400 on FanDuel, referencing his recent form and history at TPC Twin Cities, and also selected “yes” on the winner birdieing the 72nd hole at +138 on DraftKings.

The item matters mainly for fantasy players and golf bettors following the 3M Open, while also reflecting the PGA TOUR’s increased integration of gaming-style engagement around weekly tournaments. The article included a responsible-gambling notice and the National Council on Problem Gambling hotline.
