World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is set to give Blaine a front-row seat to golf’s main event this summer, headlining the 2026 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in July. The four-time major champion is scheduled to be on site throughout tournament week, offering local fans a rare chance to watch the sport’s top player work in person. Tournament organizers and city officials are treating the commitment as a marquee win for the region.
Organizers revealed Scheffler’s plans in a Friday press release, and the world’s top-ranked golfer sounded ready for a Minnesota debut. “I’m looking forward to playing the 3M Open for the first time,” he said, according to 3M Open. The same announcement highlights a Swings & Strings concert headlined by Andy Grammer on July 25, and notes that tickets and hospitality packages are already on sale.
Scheffler’s Arrival Puts Blaine In The Spotlight
Landing the world No. 1 golfer is, in local sports-business terms, a very big deal. As reported by Star Tribune, Pro Links CEO Hollis Cavner called Scheffler’s commitment “humongous” and said the decision was influenced by how well the 3M Open looks after players and their families.
When To Plan Your Trip
According to the PGA Tour schedule, competition rounds at TPC Twin Cities are slated for July 23–26, with fan programming and other events spread across the week. On the calendar, that places the 3M Open directly after the Open Championship, creating a tight turnaround for players who opt to tee it up at both tournaments.
Tickets, Entertainment And What To Expect
Fans can already secure daily Fan Passes along with premium hospitality options, and the City of Blaine has shared the announcement and a ticket link on its official Facebook page. Ticket and package information is available via 3M Open or in the city’s post on Facebook.
What This Means For Blaine
The 3M Open has already carved out a role as a summertime economic engine for Blaine, and officials expect Scheffler’s high-profile commitment to turn up that impact. Earlier coverage detailed how the city is preparing for the tournament with expanded traffic planning, volunteer coordination and public-safety operations; read more about those expanded safety plans.
TPC Twin Cities, the Arnold Palmer and Tom Lehman designed course that hosts the event, regularly manages tournament logistics, pro-am play and hospitality, according to the club’s information. Fans can expect to hear about additional player commitments over the coming weeks, organizers say, per Star Tribune.
