2023 3M Open: Predictions, expert picks, odds, field rankings, golf best bets at TPC Twin Cities

The race to the FedEx Cup Playoffs heats up on the heels of the Open Championship this week at TPC Twin Cities

Don't look now, but the PGA Tour is just two events away from the FedEx Cup Playoffs with this week's 3M Open serving as the penultimate tournament of the regular season. With players jostling for position due to a stricter number of postseason participants, a bevy of competitors not typically seen at TPC Twin Cities are set to make an appearance.

The field is headlined by none other than two-time major champion Justin Thomas. Currently struggling through the worst season of his career, the 15-time PGA Tour winner finds himself just outside the coveted top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings and with work to do. The 30-year-old has collected only six top-20 finishes in 19 starts and has posted career-worst numbers in terms of total strokes gained, strokes gained approach and strokes gained putting.

Thomas will look to find something, and fast, as last year's champion, Tony Finau, aims to garner momentum in the land of the lakes for the second straight season. Twice a winner this season, Finau is well-positioned for a postseason run as he ranks 10th in the FedEx Cup standings.
