2024 3M Open Game Time, TV Shows, Viewer’s Guide

It may be hard to believe, but this week’s 3M Open will be the penultimate event of the PGA Tour’s 2024 regular season, with only the top 70 players qualifying for the FedEx Cup playoffs after the Wyndham Championship next week. We’re about to see some intense position struggles, a few last-minute interruptions, and a number of worthy pros who are simply overlooked. Of course, one player who is guaranteed that the place after the season is Billy Horchel has a British Open T-2 finish. He saves the Star Royal Playon and goes to the TPC twin city. He finished 13th at last year’s 3M Open in his tournament debut and is ranked 26th in the FedEx Cup standings.

Billy Ho will be joined by defending champion Lee Hodges, former 3M champion Tony Finau, recent Valero Texas Open winner Akshay Bhatia and last week’s Barracuda Championship winner Nick Dunlap. Keegan Bradley, Cam Davis, Taylor Pendrith and red-hot newly turned pro Neal Shipley are all in the field as well.

Hodges’ dominant wire-to-wire 3M Open victory last year was also his first win on the PGA Tour. He pulverized the competition – seven strokes ahead of everyone else – and even shot a 67 in the final round for the icing on the cake. His 260 set a new scoring record for the Minnesota event. Martin Laird, Kevin Streelman and J.T. Poston tied for second place.

This week’s winner will receive 500 FedEx Cup points and a share of $1.458 million of the $8.1 million purse. As if designed for golf, TPC Twin Cities was built on the site of a former sod farm. Arnold Palmer Project 15 miles north of Minneapolis/St. Paul has hosted the 3M Open on the PGA Tour since 2019. A former member of our Best of Minnesota list, TPC Twin Cities plays on natural prairie grass and features 27 water features, including the par-5 18th, where a large lake guards the right side of the fairway and the front of the green.
