GOLF.com: 2026 3M Open Round 1 – TV Schedule, Streaming Info & Complete Tee Times

The 2026 3M Open gets underway Thursday at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. Here's what to know about the opening round.

Max Homa's Resurgence

Six-time PGA Tour winner Max Homa is one of the week's most compelling storylines. After missing the FedEx Cup Playoffs entirely in 2025 and dropping outside the top 100 in the standings, Homa has steadily rebuilt his 2026 campaign. A T9 at the Masters jump-started his season, and back-to-back strong results—a solo second at the John Deere Classic and a T28 at The Open Championship—have pushed him back inside the top 50 in FedEx Cup points with the Playoffs in sight.

Homa tees off at 8:18 a.m. ET alongside Jake Knapp and Corey Conners off the 10th tee.

Notable Groupings

The marquee group of the day is undoubtedly Scottie Scheffler, Hideki Matsuyama, and Sungjae Im, teeing off at 8:29 a.m. ET off No. 10. Japanese fans will also want to track Takumi Kanaya (1:22 p.m. ET, No. 17), Kensei Hirata (3:01 p.m. ET, No. 17), and Keita Nakajima (2:39 p.m. ET, No. 10).

Strokeslab Take

Beyond the narrative, Homa's SG: APP numbers over his recent strong stretch will be a key indicator of whether his resurgence is sustainable. The Scheffler–Matsuyama grouping is a statistical goldmine for SG comparisons across multiple categories—one of the best pairings of the week from an analytics standpoint.
