Overview
- Jackson Koivun holds a three-shot lead through 54 holes as the final round begins on Sunday at the 3M Open.
- Tournament organizers and multiple outlets published the full payout schedule showing an $8.8 million purse with $1,584,000 for the winner.
- Michael Kim carded a 12-under 59 in Friday’s second round but has slipped to a tie for sixth entering the last day.
- The purse growth at the 3M Open, which rose from $6.4 million in 2019 to $8.8 million in 2026, has been linked to larger broadcast and sponsorship deals and the Tour’s response to LIV Golf, and organizers report ticket sales up about 25–30 percent.
- A victory awards 500 FedEx Cup points, 42 Official World Golf Ranking points, a two-plus-season PGA Tour exemption, and invitations to 2027 signature events and majors, which can reshape a player’s season and career opportunities.
