Scottie Scheffler leads field at 2026 3M Open in Minnesota

The PGA Tour’s 2026 3M Open moved to TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, from July 23‑26. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made his tournament debut, flying in from England after a T4 finish at The Open Championship. Scheffler said the event’s hospitality – “tremendous fans, great food, excellent clubhouse care” – convinced him to play instead of taking a week off before the FedEx Cup playoffs. He is the overwhelming favorite, with odds around +260, while defending champion Kurt Kitayama entered as a distant second‑favorite after winning the event in 2025. Kitayama, sitting 32nd in the FedEx Cup standings, hopes to repeat after a career‑saving win last year that vaulted him into the playoff race. The field also includes recent winners Tom Kim, Hideki Matsuyama and other top‑50 players, all vying for the final FedEx Cup points before the postseason. Tournament organizers highlighted player‑first amenities, noting record attendance and sold‑out pro‑am tents. The event carries an $8.8 million purse and will be televised on CBS and the Golf Channel.
