Inside the Field: 3M Open
4 Min Read
The PGA TOUR heads back to TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, for the 3M Open. Last year's edition saw Lee Hodges earn his first PGA TOUR victory, going wire-to-wire and setting a new tournament scoring record at 24-under.
The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.
Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.
Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
