The 2026 PGA Tour season is entering its final stretch, with the 3M Open serving as the third-to-last regular-season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs commence. This year's tournament at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, features a notable participant: world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is making his debut appearance.
The TPC Twin Cities course, designed by Arnold Palmer, is known for its challenging layout. Last season, it recorded the second-highest number of balls in the water on the PGA Tour, with 247 instances, including a single-round record of 95 during the second round.
Several prominent golfers are competing alongside Scheffler, including Hideki Matsuyama, who holds the longest active streak of consecutive cuts made at 28. Other notable names in the field are Corey Conners, Tony Finau, Max Homa, and defending champion Kurt Kitayama. Ryan Fox, fresh off a victory, withdrew, opening a spot for Fabian Gomez.
The weather forecast for the tournament week in Blaine, Minnesota, predicts mostly sunny skies with mild temperatures and a minimal chance of rain, offering favorable conditions for the players. This event represents a critical opportunity for golfers to solidify their standings ahead of the lucrative FedEx Cup Playoffs.
