This week the PGA Tour is in Minnesota for the 3M Open. Here is everything to know about this event.
The PGA Tour is in Blaine, Minn., for the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. There are just a couple more events before the FedEx Cup playoffs, so a lot is at stake for these players.
Here’s everything to know to watch the 3M Open this weekend: a preview, full TV schedule, streaming schedule and complete tee times.
Where: TPC Twin Lakes (Par-72, 7,468 yards)
When: July 27-30th
Purse: $7.8 million ($1.404 million winner’s share)
Defending Champ: Tony Finau
With the majors behind the PGA Tour, now the focus turns to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The 3M Open this week and the Wyndham Championship next week will determine who is in and who did not make it to Memphis.
Tony Finau won this event last year and is back to defend his title. Since that win, he has captured three more victories to give him six career PGA Tour wins.
Justin Thomas will play in Minnesota for the first time as he attempts to sneak into the playoffs. He needs a solid finish to jump the five spots required to get inside the top 70.
Hideki Matsuyama and Gary Woodland are the other names headlining the 3M Open.
Ludvig Aberg is also in the field this week. He is playing well since he finished at the top of the PGA Tour University rankings. This week could be the breakout moment for him.
