Overview
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is in the 3M Open field and entered Thursday as the clear favorite, trading at about $0.27 on Polymarket (roughly +275 at sportsbooks) and leading marquee tee times.
- Jordan Spieth was removed from the entry list without a public explanation, and Scheffler said he understands that Spieth may need a break after an unusually heavy stretch of tournaments.
- Ryan Fox withdrew after winning The Open at Royal Birkdale, which opened a late spot in the field and led to late additions such as Fabián Gómez.
- Tournament director Hollis Cavner said pro-am inventory sold out and the event is pacing for record attendance as Scheffler’s commitment boosted local demand and media attention.
- The 3M Open carries an $8.8 million purse and sits in the final weeks of the regular season, so results will affect FedEx Cup positioning for players trying to secure or improve playoff spots.
