GOLF BETTING: 3M Open Tips - Wolff to tame TPC Twin Cities again




Defending 3M Open Champion Matthew Wolff loves this type of low scoring layout, as he showed again in Detroit a few weeks back

We have the 2nd instalment of the 3M Open on the PGA Tour, albeit a shorter version of this track has been in use by the Champions Tour from 2001 to 18. Tom Lehman will tee it up this week at the 3M Open and had a hand in the redesign. This is a shootout, but one that favours the bombers rather than hot putters, with the par 5s and three reachable par 4s on an easy parklands style track exposed in areas. The 3M market looks pretty open with potential angles to exploit, and is a much better betting opportunity than most of the events since the hiatus.

Note: I've posted my 3M Open top 20 vs the field odds over on my

Angles and Edges: a journey through the evolution of golf betting and the markets
Bryan Nicholson is the pioneer of the progressive form and course fit ratings for golf betting, with the associated progressive form model and course fit profiling model. Bryan is the author of the annual course fit profiling manual and #1 golf betting book Angles & Edges.



What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

Golf Betting Tips Model

Input up to date player and course data (from the upcoming course fit manual 2024) into this interactive golf betting model. My course fit profiling model for golf betting tips uses highly evolved golf nuance and betting intuition, precise parameters and inputs based on Bayesian analysis, plus years of empirical evidence through observing, betting and documenting golf and stats.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
