After a 50-year absence, the PGA Tour returns to Minnesota this week with the inaugural 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities for the July 4th weekend and fans can expect plenty of fireworks.
Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Jason Day and Patrick Reed are among the headliners in a field that features 11 of the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings.
The PGA Tour made an annual stop in Minnesota from 1930-69. The PGA Tour Champions stopped at TPC Twin Cities for 18 years going back to 2001.
The Twin Cities area played host to several major men’s and women’s championships: the 1991 U.S. Open; 2002 and 2009 PGA Championships; and the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen Country Club in Edina. The 2016 Ryder Cup was played at Hazeltine National in Chaska.
This week, TPC Twin Cities will play at 7,468 yards and par 71. The Arnold Palmer track was revised with help from Tom Lehman for its PGA Tour debut and features 27 bodies of water – fittingly given that Minnesota is The Land of 10,000 Lakes.
