3M Open 2021: Complete Breakdown of the Prize Money From Winner Last Place

The 3M Open 2021 is one of the newest tournaments on the PGA Tour. It was first played on the Tour in 2019 and has had decent success so far. Although a few prominent players aren’t in the field due to the Olympics, there are quite a few prominent names like Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, and Bubba Watson playing the event. So here’s everything you need to know about the tournament’s prize money and champion’s payout in 2021.

The 3M Open 2021 is being played at TPC Twin Cities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is just the third edition of the tournament but still, many top-ranked players are competing in this event. Matthew Wolff won the inaugural edition, while Michael Thompson is the defending champion.

Since it is a non-major PGA Tour event, the total prize money for the 3M Open is $6.6 million. And it is the standard 18% payout according to the PGA Tour’s prize money distribution chart. The entire field is competing to get the highest share from the total purse of $6.6 million.

Apart from the monetary benefits, the winner will also get 500 FedEx Cup points and 38 Official World Golf Rankings points.
