Emiliano Grillo was hovering atop the leaderboard on Sunday morning at the PGA 3M Open 2026, yet the market price on him still sat at $6000 for every $100 bet. That made the 33-year-old Argentine one of the day’s sharpest contradictions: a golfer near the front, priced as if the chase was still wide open.
For readers looking up the Grillo golfer angle now, the appeal is simple. He is not a random name drifting through a weekend board. Grillo has already won twice on the PGA Tour, taking the 2015 Frys.com Open and the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, and he was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year for 2015-16. His record in majors also gives him a longer frame than a one-round fluke, with a best showing of T6 at The Open Championship in 2023, along with T17 at the Masters Tournament and T13 at the PGA Championship in 2016, and T19 at the U.S. Open in 2025.
That is why the number stands out. A player sitting near the top of the board would usually draw a shorter price, but Grillo’s listed payout still reflected a field that had not fully caught up to his position. The odds table may have included plenty of other golfers, but on this morning Grillo was the one matching live position with past pedigree.
What the listing does not settle is the finish. Grillo could still turn a Sunday start into a win, or he could fade and leave the morning board as the high point. Either way, the market had already put a price on him before the round had decided whether he was leader, spoiler, or both.
