Event Preview

The relentless action on the PGA Tour continues this weekend, as the 3M Open is staged in Minnesota. This event was previously known as the 3M Championship, and the field will compete across 7,431 yards in the stroke play competition. A purse of $8.8 million will be up for grabs at TPC Twin Cities.

Scottie Scheffler is undeniably the player to beat this weekend. Despite winning just once on the PGA Tour in 2026, the world number one has finished second on four occasions, and has claimed third in two starts. Scheffler was a menacing threat throughout the Open last weekend, eventually finishing T4.

Defending champion Kurt Kitayama should be capable of a solid challenge in a bid to defend his title. The American finished T6 on debut at TPC Twin Cities, and he was very impressive 12 months ago when holding his nerve to hold off Sam Stevens to win by a shot.

Tom Kim shouldn’t be underestimated despite failing to make the cut at The Open last weekend. The South Korean still brings excellent form into this weekend’s event, winning at the Scottish Open. He has made the cut on both previous starts at TPC Twin Cities.

Lucas Glover should be respected after finishing T3 and T5 at the John Deere Classic and ISCO Championship, respectively. Gary Woodland has finished in the top ten in three events since winning the Houston Open. Emiliano Grillo is another that should be considered after making the cut in five of his six appearances at the 3M Open.

3M Open Picks

Scheffler is clearly the standout play this week. However, as a value selection against the favorite, Ben James could be one to consider. The top-ranked player on the PGA Tour University has made the cut on all five starts on the main tour this season, achieving five top-25 finishes as a pro. Was T4 at last weekend’s Puntacana, and has previous experience at Twin Cities.
