The completion of The Open, golf’s fourth and final major, indicates that this season is about to come to an end on the 2021/22 PGA Tour, and the PGA 3M Open will be one of the last tournaments to be played as we close the curtain and prepare for a new season.
The PGA 3M Open will have its fourth edition this season, as it is a relatively new tournament and was contested for the first time in 2019. Usually, the competition will be played at the TPC Twin Cities, a private golf club located in Blaine, Minnesota. There, the 72 golfers will compete to win the tournament… and to get their share in terms of money.
As usual, at JefeBet we give you an overview of how the purse money will be distributed in this PGA 3M Open, as well as the changes it has undergone compared to previous editions of the tournament.
Updated Purse and Prize Money Breakdown for PGA 3M Open Golf Tournament Running from July 21-24 2022
The PGA Tour usually adjusts the prize money for its tournaments year after year, and this year’s edition of the PGA 3M Open has been no exception to the rule, as the prize purse has undergone a substantial increase compared to what it was.
When the tournament was first played in 2019, the prize pool was 6.4 million dollars. This increased slightly to $6.6 million (a 3.12% increase) during the 2020 edition, and remained so in 2021.
However, this 2022 saw the PGA 3M Open undergo a considerable increase in prize money, which will stand at $7.5 million, representing a 13.64% increase over last year.
Cameron Champ, winner of the 2021 PGA 3M Open, took home about $1,188,000, but whoever takes home the trophy this 2022 will pocket $1,350,000 – $162,000 more than in the previous edition.
