How much prize money does the winner get at the 2023 3M Open?

Ah, the 3M Open, where golfers battle it out like fierce warriors, desperately vying for a spot in the top 70 to secure their ticket to the FedExCup Playoffs. It’s like a high-stakes game of musical chairs but with golf clubs and a whole lot less dancing. In the land of 10,000 lakes, the Minnesota field is teeming with talent. Ever the optimist, Justin Thomas decided to grace the event with his presence after an unfortunate cut at The Open. And let’s not forget about Akshay Bhatia, the conqueror of the Barracuda Championship, who has now ascended to the prestigious ranks of a full-fledged PGA TOUR member.

TPC Twin Cities has been the ultimate host, treating the Champions Tour like royalty from 2001 to 2018. And since then, they’ve continued their reign as the go-to destination for the TOUR because once you’ve experienced their hospitality, there’s just no going back. The water-infested layout is like a playground for birdies but also a sneaky trap, just like Scott Piercy’s final-nine struggles from last year. Piercy wrapped up his round with a not-so-impressive 5-over 41, generously leaving Tony Finau with a glimmer of hope to snatch the title.

But how much do golfers get for the 2023 3M Open?

This year’s highly anticipated TPC Twin Cities event is set to showcase an impressive field of 156 skilled players, all competing for a remarkable total purse of $7.8 million. The fortunate winner will take in a grand sum of $1.404 million.
