Brady Kannon, the golf expert who absolutely slayed last year with six PGA winners, just dropped his picks for the 2026 3M Open, and he’s not holding back on Max Homa. Kannon is straight-up fading Homa, avoiding him in both outright and head-to-head bets, even with Homa sitting at 55-1 odds. Talk about a bombshell!
Why Kannon Is Ghosting Max Homa
You know Kannon doesn’t just throw darts, right? He’s got 30 years in the game, calling eight major winners since 2013 and nailing a 110-1 longshot like Harris English back in 2025 at the Farmers Insurance Open. So when he says Homa’s price isn’t justified, you gotta listen. Homa hasn’t won on Tour in three years, and while he’s finally “starting to come around into form,” Kannon points out he can’t seem to maintain it for four days. The stats don’t lie, either: Homa ranks 107th on Tour for Driving Accuracy, 120th for SG: Approach, and 104th for Greens in Regulation. Sure, his putter is still a weapon, and he was runner-up at the John Deere Classic recently. But that was against a weaker field, and Scottie Scheffler wasn’t even there! Kannon’s betting that Homa will be finding the rough, maybe even the water, and he’s telling us we’re buying high on a guy who hasn’t really found his old rhythm.
Scheffler Chasing the W, Others Eyeing the Crown
While Kannon is sounding the alarm on Homa, the world’s top-ranked golfer, Scottie Scheffler, is looking for his first win since January 25th. Can you believe it? The dude has finished second four times this season, third twice, and boasts 10 top-fives and 15 top-25 finishes. That’s some serious consistency, but the W has been elusive. He’s the +260 favorite at FanDuel, playing on the par-71, 7,431-yard TPC Twin Cities course. But Scheffler isn’t alone at the top, not by a long shot. Defending champion Kurt Kitayama (+2500), who won last year by a single stroke over Sam Stevens, is back to defend his title. Maverick McNealy (+2700), Hideki Matsuyama (+3000), and Tom Kim (+3000) are all right there, ready to contend.
The 3M Open kicks off on Thursday, and Kannon has already locked in all his best bets, prop bets, and sleepers. You gotta check out who he’s backing, especially after hearing his take on Homa. The leaderboard is gonna be wild, and if Kannon’s right about Homa, it could shake things up big time.
