Major championship golf is done for 2025, but that doesn’t mean meaningful stroke-play tournaments are over.
The PGA Tour would be happy to remind you that the FedEx Cup Playoffs are just around the corner, and that’s when you’ll see many of the top players in the world again.
But a strong argument can be made that the more consequential tournaments are this week and next, with many players fighting for playoff spots and all-important job status. Remember, only the top 70 players qualify for the postseason and earn status for next year, while those ranked 71-100 at the end of the fall also earn PGA Tour cards.
That makes this week’s 3M Open in Blaine, Minn., mighty important.
Most of the 156 players in the field are on the outside of the top 70, so points are just as important as shares of the $8.4 million purse. Only four players from the top 30 of the world rankings are scheduled to compete: Maverick McNealy, Sam Burns, Sungjae Im and Wyndham Clark. That’s a massive opportunity for the game’s grinders.
They’ll take on TPC Twin Cities, a 7,431-yard par-71 layout designed by Arnold Palmer, and Jhonattan Vegas returns as the defending champion. His win ending a seven-year drought was one of the better stories of 2024, even at an event that doesn’t draw as many eyeballs.
Lee Hodges, Tony Finau and Cameron Champ also will compete as past champions.
