PGA Tour Brunch | 3M Open Preview
PGA Tour Brunch Previews the 2025 3M Open | Minnesota
By TERRY LYONS, Editor of Digital Sports Desk
BLAINE, Minn - The 2025 3M Open is the 35th of 36 FedEx Cup Regular Season events which means we are coming down the home stretch of the PGA Tour’s regular season.
The PGA TOUR returns to Minnesota for the seventh straight season, which debuted in 2019 as the TOUR’s first non-major event in Minnesota since the 1969 Minnesota Golf Classic (won by Frank Beard at Braemar Golf Club) and first official PGA TOUR event in the state since the 2009 PGA Championship (won by Y.E. Yang at Hazeltine National Golf Club).
TPC Twin Cities was designed by World Golf Hall of Fame member Arnold Palmer, who worked in consultation with Minnesota native and PGA TOUR veteran Tom Lehman.
Ten players in the field have competed in all six previous editions of the 3M Open: Cam Davis, Tony Finau, Brice Garnett, Chesson Hadley, Tom Hoge, Beau Hossler, Patton Kizzire, Peter Malnati, Troy Merritt, and Sam Ryder.
Four past champions of the 3M Open are in the field: Cameron Champ (2021), Tony Finau (2022), Lee Hodges (2023), Jhonattan Vegas (2024).
Vegas won the 2024 3M Open by one stroke over Max Greyserman, earning Vegas his fourth career PGA TOUR title in his 299th start. He became the first international winner of the event and the first player in tournament history with a win and runner-up (2021). Vegas seeks to become the first repeat winner in tournament history.
