The 3M Open is a PGA Tour professional golf competition that takes place at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The PGA Tour announced the tournament's debut in June 2018, and it took place on July 4–7 of 2019. The event's primary sponsor is the Minnesota-based business 3M.
It replaced the 3M Championship, which was hosted at TPC Twin Cities from 2001 to 2018 and was a PGA Tour Champions event for 26 years (1993–2018). It was announced in 2018 that the 3M Championship would not be played again in 2019. The 3M Open on the PGA Tour would take place beginning in 2019. On August 5, 2018, Kenny Perry emerged victorious in the event, securing his third 3M Championship.
The "Greats of Golf Challenge," an exhibition scramble on Saturday between teams of previous major winners and female and male hall of famers, was one of the tournament's events. Nancy Lopez, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus are among the most recent participants.
Who won the PGA 3M Open in 2024?
Jhonattan Vegas won the 2024 3M Open, his fourth career PGA Tour victory, at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. He received the winner's share of $1.4 million from the $8.3 million purse. This was Vegas' first victory in seven years, following his victory at the 2017 RBC Canadian Open. After winning by one shot on 17 under 267, he defeated Max Greyserman for the title. Matt Kuchar and Maverick McNealy tied for third place with a score of 15 under par in Minnesota's only PGA Tour event.
Who won the PGA 3M Open in 2023?
At TPC Twin Cities, Lee Hodges won his first Tour event in a seven-shot victory, raking up his largest payday and setting himself up for additional riches by finishing inside the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings. After making three bogeys on the 72nd hole, J.T. Poston dropped from first place to a tie for second.
At the 3M, Hodges won his first PGA Tour event. It was a career-defining triumph that also earned him an invitation to the Masters the following year—his first trip to Augusta as a professional. Upon hearing this news, more than a hundred friends and family members assembled at the Canebrake Country Club in Athens, Alabama, to watch their native son win the biggest triumph of his life.
In his first-ever 3M Open victory, Hodges dominated the field at TPC Twin Cities all week, winning wire-to-wire. In the final round, JT Poston's climb to 20 under par within four shots was the closest anyone came to challenging him. Nevertheless, Hodges was always solid at -24, so there wasn't much to be concerned about.
He won by seven shots, but on that afternoon, it was as close as the competition went and not at all bad for a rookie champion who was comfortable with a 54-hole lead.
