We're on to Minnesota for the 2023 3M Open.
As major championship season closes, the PGA Tour descends into what can only be called a controlled lull for a few weeks, with tournaments that are less about star-power and more about playoff pushes.
There's not a whole lot we learned at Royal Liverpool that should leave us prepped and ready for TPC Twin Cities, but there's plenty we've gleaned in the past four editions of this tournament to point us in the right direction.
Really, we only need to look at the winners' list, which includes Matthew Wolff, Cameron Champ and Tony Finau – an unsubtle hint that banging driver long and straight is even more advantageous here than most other ven ues, despite playing just over 7,200 yards. That said, driving distance is just a bit less important here than at the average PGA Tour stop, but Strokes Gained: Off the Tee receives a fairly large bump in relevance.
