TPC Twin Cities, 144-man field, cut to the top 65 & ties. The GPP top plays ranked stud → mid → value — with projection and ownership on every name — plus how to attack it every way you can enter: single-entry, 20-max, 150-max, high-stakes rooms like the $555, and the $5 / $12 / $100 / $200 single-entry builds.
The 3M Open is the definition of a "get-right" spot — a birdie-fest at TPC Twin Cities where the winning score usually lives around 18–20 under. And this year it has a headliner nobody expected: Scottie Scheffler is making his 3M Open debut. That single fact reshapes the entire slate. He's priced at $14,900 — a full $5,000 clear of the next name on the board — and the salary gap creates a fork in every lineup you build: pay all the way up for the best player alive, or fade the chalk and build a balanced six that out-projects him in aggregate.
This is a 144-player field playing 72 holes with a cut to the top 65 and ties. On DraftKings Classic you roster 6 golfers under a $50,000 cap, scoring across all four rounds — so make-cut probability is oxygen. A golfer who misses the weekend caps your scoring at two rounds no matter how good the projection looked. Every name below is graded on three layers: projection (the CourtEdge model), ceiling (the top-end round-set), and make-cut odds — cross-checked against ownership so you know not just who's good, but who's good relative to how many people are on them.
