Chris Kirk can be dangerously good at events like the 3M Open. The American golfer may be 40 but seems to spring to life in summer events. See the Rocket Classic as a great example in late June where Kirk shot all four rounds in the 60's and lost in a playoff. Kirk may not be as long off the tee as he used to be (297.2 yard average). However, he is better than his -0.402 strokes gained to putting which ranks 157th on tour. He is plus money to finish inside the Top 40 this week (+125 via DraftKings). Kirk can be streaky all in the same tournament. That makes him an extreme risk. See the John Deere Classic where he blew up with a Saturday 79 and never was right after. There is potential but there is danger, too.

Mackenzie Hughes was harder on himself after playing in Europe the past couple of weeks. The Canadian golfer missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open Championship. It came down to not making enough birdies which has been a struggle for a couple of months now. Hughes has a birdie or better conversion percentage of only 28.72% (154th). It does not help his scoring average of 70.74 (133rd). Overall, Hughes has not been great at any major metrics. He comes close to average with putting and is reasonably good at scrambling (80th overall). At Myrtle Beach in May, Hughes made putts. Unless he starts to avoid mistakes, Hughes is an option to fade in DFS and betting formats alike.

Joe Highsmith either plays really well or misses the weekend. The American golfer has missed the cut in six of his previous eight tournaments. He has had some amazing results in 2025 including the T-8 at the PGA Championship and winning the Cognizant Classic. Unfortunately, too many times, Highsmith and missing so many cuts has skewed his scoring average. That 70.92 average is now 152nd on tour. Worse, his greens in regulation has dropped to 61.29% which is 167th. If he can get on the green without mistakes, Highsmith can still putt pretty well. He averages 27.2 putts during Round 3 which ranks fifth. The problem is getting to the weekend. Highsmith is a volatile option because he can make birdies but can also make quite a few bogeys and worse.

Max Greyserman got his first taste of links golf and it was a short stint. The American golfer missed the cut at the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open Championship. However, his Friday 67 at Royal Portrush at least offers a sign of hope for this week's 3M Open. Before his trip overseas, Greyserman was on a roll. He had several Top 25 results and lost in a playoff in Detroit. The golfer does well when he drives the ball accurately and putts well. He hit several errant shots early in Northern Ireland and never truly recovered. From a betting standpoint, Greyserman can easily be worth a look at a Top 10 or even Top 20 finish. The Top 20 still comes in at +135 via DraftKings.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout was on the front page of the leaderboard for a while at The Open Championship. The South African golfer had an up and down tournament overall, however. Bezuidenhout finished T-34 after a final round 72. His opening 67 was followed up by a Friday 73. The "moving day" 69 was dashed by what happened on Sunday. Conditions were not that tough at Royal Portrush. That being said, Bezuidenhout has played better of late. Despite not having a Top 10 result since February, he does rank 14th in strokes gained to putting (0.482). The problems are his strokes lost off the tee and approaching the green. Worse, those approaches greater than 200 yards rank 158th overall. The Par-71, 7,431 yard layout at TPC Twin Cities could cost Bezuidenhout from a DFS perspective.

Harris English ranks eighth in FedEx points. The American golfer even has cracked the Top 20 in the world rankings (19th). However, despite nine appearances overseas, English has not had quite the same success at The Open Championship. His best result was a T-15 at Muirfield way back in 2013. Since then, there have been three missed cuts and a bunch of outside Top 40 results. English does seem to like ugly golf as his Farmers Insurance Open win this year would attest. For a golfer who has finished under par inside the United Kingdom only once, history seems against him. English is -205 to make the cut this time around and current form suggests a changed golfer as evidenced by his T-22 at the Genesis Scottish Open last week.

Aldrich Potgieter missed the cut at St. Andrews in 2022 as an amateur. The South African golfer won the amateur version of The Open Championship that year. Potgeiter did win his first event on the PGA Tour in June at the 2025 Rocket Classic. He defeated Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk in a playoff. It was the second playoff Potgieter competed in. His ability off the tee is one of the best on tour in 2025. Potgieter drives the ball a whopping 328.2 yards on average. However, his trajectory is troubling and so is his 55.78% driving accuracy (135th). It is one reason why his odds on missing the cut have gone from plus territory to -120 in the last couple weeks. Potgieter may even be one to stay away from in DFS formats.
