3M Open: Who has the most wins at the event
It succeeds the 3M Championship, a PGA Tour event which ran for 26 years
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The 3M Open is a relatively new tournament on the PGA Tour, established in 2018 and first played on July 4-7, 2019.
It is held annually at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota and is sponsored by the Minnesota-based company 3M. It is the PGA Tour’s first regular stop in Minnesota in five decades.
It succeeds the 3M Championship, previously called the Burnet Senior Classic, a PGA Tour event which ran for 26 years.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The course features four challenging holes, including a 502-yard par-4 hole, which forces competitors to navigate a large mounding to the left of a sloping green, which is shaped around the lake’s edge.
The tournament will also see $1.5 million donated to local organizations supporting those impacted by COVID-19 and groups fighting for social justice initiatives.
Participants include defending champ Matthew Wolff, Tony Finau, Lucas Glover and Dustin Johnson.
