A Star is Born: Jackson Koivun Closes with 66 for Maiden Title
The 2026 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, witnessed the coronation of the PGA TOUR’s newest superstar. Driven by three words inscribed on his golf glove—“Confidence. Trust. Dominate.”—21-year-old PGA TOUR rookie Jackson Koivun stared down a charging leaderboard on Sunday to fire a disciplined 5-under 66, capturing his maiden PGA TOUR trophy. With his breakthrough victory, Koivun banked the champion's share of $1.58 million and a pivotal 500 FedExCup points.Scheffler’s Sunday Surge: No. 1 Fires Final-Round 63
Never count out the World No. 1. Scottie Scheffler mounted a legendary Sunday charge at TPC Twin Cities, reaching the 595-yard, par-5 18th hole in two shots to set up a finishing birdie. Scheffler signed for a blistering 8-under 63. Marking his fifth runner-up finish of 2026, Scheffler earned a lucrative $950,400 and 300 FedExCup points.Rewriting History: Michael Kim’s Dramatic Second-Round 59
Friday at TPC Twin Cities belonged entirely to Michael Kim, who etched his name into golf history by firing an extraordinary 12-under 59 in Round 2. Standing on the 17th tee with a crystal-clear goal to birdie the closing two holes, Kim delivered a clutch birdie putt on the 18th green to record only the 16th sub-60 score in PGA TOUR history, cementing one of the most celebrated individual rounds of the season.
Early Contenders & Shocking Missed Cuts: Homa, Finau Stumble
While Ben Kohles grabbed headlines early with crisp ball-striking to headline the Round 1 and Round 2 leaderboards, several marquee names stumbled on TPC Twin Cities' exacting layout. Pre-tournament favorites Max Homa and former 3M Open champion Tony Finau failed to find momentum, both missing the 36-hole cut in a shocking Friday exit.
Next Up: 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club
With the 3M Open in the rear-view mirror, the PGA TOUR immediately shifts its attention to Motor City for the 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club—a crucial late-season battleground before the FedExCup Playoffs. Defending champion Aldrich Potgieter, who triumphed in a dramatic five-hole playoff in 2025, returns to a Detroit Golf Club layout that has undergone notable course renovations and tactical upgrades.
According to the official PGA TOUR Power Rankings and expert fantasy consensus, this week's field is headlined by major star power. Alongside defending champion Aldrich Potgieter and 2025 playoff runners-up Chris Kirk and Max Greyserman, Korean star Tom Kim enters as a top Power Rankings favorite, bringing elite accuracy and iron control tailor-made for the renovated green complexes. Additionally, marquee favorites Max Homa and former Detroit Golf Club champion Tony Finau are looking for emphatic bounce-back performances after their unexpected missed cuts at the 3M Open. Finau, in particular, boasts a dominant track record in Motor City and will look to reignite his driver to mount a serious postseason charge.
As players scramble to secure their FedExCup Playoffs eligibility and improve their postseason positioning, the renovated Donald Ross design promises a high-octane birdie fest where every single point could make or break a season.
