The 3M Open Is Here To Stay Through 2030
Bigger names, bolder experiences and bigger impact.
3M and the PGA TOUR have announced a five-year extension of 3M's title sponsorship of the 3M Open through 2030. The extension will continue to bring the world's top golfers to TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minn., and pave the way for even more community impact and support.
'We are thrilled to continue our partnership with 3M and a passionate Minnesota fan base that supports every sport in every season, including the 3M Open from day one,' said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. 'That same passion from 3M is on display each summer as they invest in their community and positively impact lives through the 3M Open.'
The 3M Open is a mechanism to give back to the community and demonstrate the many unexpected ways 3M Science improves lives while showcasing the world's greatest golfers. Since 2019, the 3M Open has donated more than $8 million to charity positively impacting more than one million lives. The tournament aligns with 3M's commitment to improve lives in communities where people live, work and learn.
'The 3M Open is more than a golf tournament — it's a force for good that brings people together around 3M innovation and supporting Minnesota communities,' said 3M CEO Bill Brown. 'Our title sponsorship and partnership with PGA TOUR showcases 3M Science for some of our most valued customers and partners while improving lives in our own backyard, and we look forward to continuing the 3M Open for years to come.'
The 2025 3M Open will be held July 21-27 at TPC Twin Cities, where Jhonattan Vegas is expected to defend his 2024 title. The 2025 event will be televised on CBS/Paramount+, Golf Channel, PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+ and distributed internationally via the TOUR's World Feed.
TPC Twin Cities was designed by World Golf Hall of Fame member Arnold Palmer, who worked in consultation with Minnesota native and PGA TOUR veteran Tom Lehman. 3M has supported the golf community for more than 30 years, including hosting the 3M Championship, a PGA TOUR Champions event at TPC Twin Cities, from 1993-2018.

2025 U.S. Open purse, payouts: How much is up for grabs this week at Oakmont Country Club?
The third major championship is here, and the USGA is matching last year's record purse in Pennsylvania. The USGA announced on Wednesday that it is offering a $21.5 million purse at the U.S. Open this week. While that's not the largest offered this season on the PGA Tour, it matched the record that the tournament set last year among the four major championships. Advertisement The $21.5 million purse will also send the winner home from Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh with a $4.3 million check. "We didn't raise our purse this year," USGA CEO Mike Whan said on Wednesday. "When I started at the USGA just four years ago, our purse was $12.5 million, so I feel comfortable that we've been a leader in moving fast and bigger ... We understand the competitive set. We know that this probably isn't really about the money for the person who puts it there, but at the same time, we want the money to be commensurate with the achievement." By comparison, the PGA Tour's signature events carry purses of at least $20 million. The Players Championship leads the way with a $25 million purse, which is larger than the four major championships. The Masters offered a $21 million purse earlier this spring, which sent Rory McIlroy home with a $4.2 million check for his win, and Scottie Scheffler took home $3.42 million for his PGA Championship victory. Scheffler is the betting favorite this week, and it's easy to understand why. The top-ranked golfer in the world has won three of his last four starts without any issue whatsoever. He's finished inside the top-5 in two of his last three U.S. Open starts, too. Bryson DeChambeau isn't far behind, and McIlroy is up there, too — though he's coming off a missed cut at the RBC Canadian Open last week. Here's how much is up for grabs this week at Oakmont Country Club.

LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open
LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler may be the hottest golfer on the planet right now, but when it comes to earnings, the crown goes to LIV Golf's Jon Rahm. The latest report suggests Rahm has beaten Scheffler heading into the U.S. Open, at least on the money list. Advertisement Scottie has been putting on one of the greatest performances in the PGA Tour and majors. He has won three out of 12 events, including the 2025 PGA Championship. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a cut this season. But when it comes to becoming the highest-paid golfer in the world, Scheffler unfortunately lost that crown to the Spaniard Rahm. According to Forbes' latest report of the world's highest-paid golfers, Rahm's reported earnings stand at $102 million. He collected only $10 million of it from off-course earnings courtesy of endorsement deals with Callaway, Rolex and Santander Bank. However, the rest of Rahm's astonishing $92 million comes from his on-course earnings through LIV Golf and majors. Jon Rahm stands atop the list of highest-paid pro golfers.© Geoff Burke-Imagn Images In his debut season with LIV Golf last year, Rahm won the tour's individual title, which earned him an additional $18 million bonus. He has yet to win an event this year. Meanwhile, Scheffler, the world's second-highest-paid golfer, has earned $97 million. He made $67 million from on-course earnings while the rest came from off the course. Advertisement Scheffler has endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade, Rolex and Veritex Community Bank. The three-time major winner has already accumulated $86 million in career earnings, behind only Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson in PGA Tour's all-time list. Scheffler also won the Memorial Tournament leading up to the U.S. Open. Though he may have lost the money battle to Rahm, Scheffler will look to balance things out by trying to win his maiden U.S. Open.

Patty Sheehan dishes on how she slayed the beast that is Oakmont in 1992
Patty Sheehan dishes on how she slayed the beast that is Oakmont in 1992 OAKMONT, Pa. — Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, and Johnny Miller are all part of the legendary players who won at Oakmont Country Club. Count fellow World Golf Hall of Fame member Patty Sheehan among that exclusive club. After falling short in heartbreaking fashion multiple times at the U.S. Women's Open, including squandering a 12-stroke lead in 1990, Sheehan defeated another Hall of Famer, Juli Inkster, in an 18-hole playoff at Oakmont in 1992 to win the title she so desperately wanted. "It certainly was something that I'd always wanted to do is to win the U.S. Open, and it was always so difficult because it's the hardest golf course we play all year long," she told Golfweek. Inkster agrees with Scottie Scheffler's assessment of Oakmont as one of the toughest courses she's ever played. Tough, she said, but fair. "You know, you had to hit the ball in the right spots," said Inkster. "It's kind of a golf course where – usually you play to the front of the greens because then you have uphill chips. At Oakmont, you want to play from the pin beyond, because the back -- you're chipping back uphill. So I always thought it was kind of reverse of what we always played." Here's more from Sheehan on how she slayed the beast that is Oakmont. GWK: How did you solve the riddle that is Oakmont? PS: I'm not typically a very straight driver of the ball. I don't think I had the best short game, but I worked on it very hard a lot at home, and I would try to find the most difficult shots around the golf course and try to hit them. Tried to feel a little more comfortable with my short game, and it started getting better. It really was amazing how much better it got. Honestly, that's probably one of the reasons why I won at Oakmont because I was not hitting – it didn't seem like I was hitting a lot of greens in regulation and having easy pars. That just doesn't happen at Oakmont. So it came in handy. GWK: Did you have any other secret weapon that week? PS: When I got to Oakmont on that Monday of tournament week, my caddie, Carl Leib, had already been there for like two weeks trying to figure out the golf course and watching members play. He really did his homework. It was one of those weeks where we had a lot of rain. A lot of rain at Oakmont makes it just miserable because you've got thick rough and now they can't get in there and mow it. It was getting harder day by day. He's like, 'OK, this is the deal. It's supposed to rain here this week, and we're going to hit a lot of 3-woods off the tees, try to stay in the fairway and try to hit as many greens as we can. This is a beast of a golf course.' So he really had it mapped out for me, and I was really impressed with his homework. It was a combination of working pretty hard on my short game for years and then getting Carl as my caddie and him doing all of his pregame work. It all came together that week. GWK: What did it mean to you to win the U.S. Women's Open that week? PS: I was pretty happy because two years before that, I lost the Open. I shouldn't have lost it, but I did. I got hypoglycemic on Sunday, and we were playing 36 holes in Atlanta. July is never fun. It's hot and humid and horrible. So I got pretty sick that Sunday. At one point, I was up by 12 shots, and I ended up losing. So it hurt quite a bit, and I learned a lot from that. So coming back a couple years later and being able to get it under my belt was probably the biggest turning point in getting to the Hall of Fame. I think the Hall of Fame is probably the pinnacle of my career, but winning the U.S. Open was definitely one of those turning points for me. I felt like after I got an Open under my belt that I could probably get into the Hall of Fame because at that point I'd had quite a few tournament wins. GWK: What did you learn about yourself that week? PS: I learned that I needed to pay attention to my nutrition. For some reason, I didn't pay much attention to my nutrition throughout my career until that point, and I know that I lost many tournaments because I was not eating properly or drinking enough on the golf course. I cleaned up my act quite a bit and started realizing that, oh, yeah, I can get through 18 holes without crashing at 13 or 14 or 15, which is basically what I would do almost every round. I never really gave it much thought. I just thought, well, shoot, I just need to work out more, I need to get in better shape. That wasn't it at all. I was in pretty good shape. Just didn't have the fuel on board to get through 18 holes.
