With only two tournaments remaining until the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, there will be up to 500 FedEx Cup points on the line this week at the 2023 3M Open. The late-season PGA Tour event was first held in 2019 and has served as a launching pad for several tour pros over the last four seasons. Tony Finau captured his fourth career victory at TPC Twin Cities last summer and has gone on to add two victories during the 2022-23 PGA Tour season.
Finau will return to the 2023 3M Open field and he’ll be one of the more popular options for PGA DFS lineups this week. However, with many players chasing FedEx Cup points ahead of the playoffs, the PGA DFS pool will also include stars like Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im. Before you lock in your PGA DFS picks for the 2023 3M Open, you’ll want to see the latest daily Fantasy golf picks, advice and player pool from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS pro with over $2 million in career winnings, and he’s been red-hot on his PGA Tour picks this season. McClure is also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every tournament 10,000 times, taking factors like statistical trends, past results and current form into account. This allows him to find the best PGA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They’re a must-see for any PGA DFS player.
In addition, McClure’s model is up more than $9,700 on its best bets since June 2020, nailing tournament after tournament. This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2023 3M Open and revealed his optimal PGA DFS advice, strategy and player pool. Head to SportsLine now to see his top golf DFS picks for the 3M Open 2023.
Top 2023 3M Open PGA DFS picks
One of McClure’s top PGA DFS picks for the 2023 3M Open: Aaron Rai at $7,900 on DraftKings and $9,700 on FanDuel. The 28-year-old Englishman is a two-time DP World Tour winner and he’s in his second season as a full-timer on the PGA Tour. Rai is currently No. 96 in the Official World Golf Ranking and is 58th in the FedEx Cup standings. A strong week at TPC Twin Cities should solidify him for the postseason and put him in contention to make the Tour Championship.
It’s been a streaky season overall for Rai, but he’s had two top-10 finishes in his last four starts. He’s also secured a top-25 finish four of the last six times that he’s teed it up. He ranks 24th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: tee-to-green and that all-around ball-striking should serve him well at the 3M Open.
McClure’s optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Thomas ($9,300 on DraftKings, $11,400 on FanDuel), a 15-time PGA Tour winner and two-time major champion. This will be the first time that Thomas has played in the 3M Open and he’s coming off a poor stretch where he has missed the cut in four of his last six starts.
However, this is still one of the best players of this generation and he’s far from past his prime at 30 years old. Thomas’ ball-striking hasn’t been as crisp in 2023 as in years past, but he’s still elite with his irons when he’s at his best. The former world No. 1 is chasing a spot in the FedEx Cup Playoffs and is a candidate to turn things around after a rough few months. See who else to back right here.
