Jackson Koivun Stuns the Field to Capture 3M Open Title

Twenty-one-year-old Jackson Koivun announced himself as golf's next rising star Sunday, winning the 2026 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in just his third PGA Tour start as a professional. The former Auburn standout fired a bogey-free 5-under 66 to finish at a tournament-record 25-under-par, holding off World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by three strokes.

Starting the final round with a three-shot lead, Koivun never showed signs of nerves. Despite Scheffler charging with a 7-under 63 and briefly applying pressure on the back nine, Koivun answered with timely birdies and steady play to keep the tournament firmly in his control. His composure throughout the afternoon capped one of the most impressive rookie performances of the PGA Tour season.

The victory marks a remarkable milestone for Koivun, who turned professional less than a month ago after an accomplished collegiate career at Auburn. Along with his first PGA Tour title, the win earns him a two-year PGA Tour exemption, a coveted invitation to the 2027 Masters Tournament, and a dramatic climb in both the FedEx Cup standings and Official World Golf Ranking.
