About this episode

Andy Lack previews the 2026 3M Open, discussing betting strategies and course analysis.

In this episode of the Inside Golf Podcast, Andy Lack opens with an update from Open Championship week at Royal Birkdale, where missed cuts from Justin Rose, Viktor Hovland, Akshay Bhatia, and Harris English hurt his DraftKings position, leaving his remaining upside tied to an 11-under winning score and a Si Woo Kim win, while a Sam Burns victory at 10-under would be the worst outcome for his bets. He then previews the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, making the case that it's misread as a bomb-and-gouge or putting contest when it's really an accuracy, penalty-stroke, and approach-driven test that neutralizes distance and rewards short game more than putting. He breaks down course specs, weather and firmness expectations, and early winning-score modeling, with Scottie Scheffler leading the course-fit ratings alongside names like Tom Kim and Doug Ghim, and calls out "without Scheffler" markets for mispricing the field.
