For the second week in row, a new tournament on the PGA Tour will tee off. This time, it's the 3M Open, which will be played at TPC Twin Cities outside Minneapolis.
This isn't the first PGA Tour event that 3M has sponsored. The company also had naming rights to the 3M Championship, a Champions Tour event that concluded last year and had been played at TPC Twin Cities since 2001.
It will be tough to top last week's action, when Nate Lashley earned an inspirational first career PGA Tour victory at the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic, but the field will have an opportunity to make golf history by being the first winner of a PGA Tour event.

Who is in the 3M Open field?
World No. 1 Brooks Koepka headlines the 3M Open field, which also features top 20-ranked golfers Bryson DeChambeau (No. 8), Tony Finau (No. 17) and Jason Day (No. 18). Lashley will look to make it two consecutive tournament victories after claiming his first PGA Tour win last weekend. Hideki Matsuyama and Charles Howell III, who have eight top-10 finishes combined in 2019, will also take part in the tournament.
Viktor Hovland, 21, and Joaquin Niemann, 20, are two of golf's newer faces but they have a shot at their first PGA Tour win this weekend. Hovland recently broke Jack Nicklaus' record by shooting 4 under at the U.S. Open, the tournament's lowest score by an amateur.

3M Open purse, winnings
The total purse for the 3M Open is $6.4 million, with the winner earning $1.152 million. The purse is $900,000 lower than last week's Rocket Mortgage Classic, when Lashley took home $1.314 million as the champion.
3M Open betting odds
It's not hard to understand why Koepka, the No. 1-ranked player in the game, has the lowest odds at +700, or 7-1. Matsuyama, who has four top-10 finishes this year, slides in right behind him. Bryson DeChambeau is the second-best golfer in the tournament based on world rankings but has the fourth-lowest odds, giving him enticing value. If you want to bet on the youngsters, Hovland and Niemann are both among the top 10 in odds.
