The FedEx Cup Playoffs are fast approaching and everyone who made the cut at the 3M Open was desperate to finish as high up the leaderboard as possible at TPC Twin Cities.
With significant impending changes coming to the PGA Tour over the next season or two, booking a spot in the FedEx Cup Playoffs and avoiding a drop down to the Korn Ferry Tour could be career-altering.
Therefore, the stakes were high in Blaine, Minnesota with players in contention leaving no stone unturned in trying to follow in 2025 winner Kurt Kitayama's footsteps.
In the end, it was a man new to the professional game, Jackson Koivun, who saw off the challenges of seasoned campaigners including Scottie Scheffler and Hideki Matsuyama to claim his maiden win on the PGA Tour.
That takes him to 70th in the FedEx Cup standings, as well as guaranteeing his PGA Tour status for the foreseeable future, but it's not just those benefits he will be able to celebrate, with life-changing prize money heading his way.
Koivun walks away with a check for almost $1.6 million from a total purse of $8.8 million.
That is $400,000 more than last year when Kitayama held off Sam Stevens and co. by a shot to claim his second PGA Tour title.
Far from the first time this season, the runner-up was Scheffler, and he picks up almost $1 million, while there are six-figure checks on offer all the way down to T20.
Even Fabian Gomez, who finished 66th this week, won over $18,000 before various factors reduce how much players truly take home.
Below is what each player who made the cut won at the 3M Open.
