TPC Twin Cities is an Arnold Palmer design in Blaine, Minnesota, playing as a par 71 at 7,431 yards for the 3M Open. It's one of the lowest-scoring stops on Tour — every winner since the event's 2019 debut has finished between -15 and -24. Water comes into play across a large share of the layout, with the all-carry par-3 17th and the lake-lined par-5 18th forming the defining closing stretch.
What stats matter this week: SG: Approach and SG: Off the Tee carry roughly equal weight, with Birdie-or-Better percentage close behind in a field that's going low all four days. Driving accuracy is overweighted by the market — moderate rough and generous fairways mean precision alone doesn't separate the field here.
Top 3 course fits: Players combining elite approach play with strong recent birdie-conversion numbers, regardless of driving distance. The course's short history (seven playings, seven different champions) means current form matters more here than at venues with a repeat-champion pattern.
