After a two-week swing across the pond, the PGA Tour heads to Blaine, Minnesota, for the 3M Open. Previously a Champions Tour event for 26 years, the tournament was added to the PGA Tour schedule in 2019. At a course where water comes into play on 15 holes, TPC Twin Cities always provides a dramatic week. While many of the world’s biggest names will be resting up before the FedEx Cup playoffs, Ryder Cup hopeful and two-time major champion, Justin Thomas, added his name to the field after missing the cut badly at the Open Championship.
Thomas currently sits on the outside looking in of the top 70. He will be joined by defending champion Tony Finau, who looks to right the ship after a disappointing missed cut at the Open. Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama, who are both starting to play some better golf, will both look to improve their position as well, while Ludvig Aberg and Sepp Straka hope another strong finish can cement their Ryder Cup spots. On one of the most-high variance courses on Tour, we can expect some fireworks this week.
