Whether it’s a PGA TOUR event designed for all to attend, or customer hospitality at signature events in the US and abroad, golf has been and continues to be a wonderful way to connect with our customers and partners around the world. 3M has been involved in golf events for well over fifty years.

But we see our involvement in golf as much more than just the game – it’s a way to connect with communities and give back.

3M Open

3M is the primary sponsor of the newest official PGA Tournament, the 3M Open. Hosted by the nonprofit 3M Open Fund, the 3M Open brings the world’s top golfers to Minnesota for a new FedExCup Season event.

Held each July at the TPC Twin Cities, the 3M Open is about Golf that Matters, where all net proceeds go back to our community. Our primary charitable recipients are:



3M Celebrity Challenge at Pebble Beach Golf Links

Also honored at the event were 3M Scholarship winners Sophia Buraglio of Carmel High and Grace Gonzales of Salinas High, who each received $3,500 for their college education from Paul Keel, Senior Vice President, 3M Business Development and Marketing-Sales. Each high school also received $9,000.

3M Greats of Golf

Headlined by Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Lee Trevino, the 3M Greats of Golf gives Insperity Invitational patrons the opportunity to see the game’s biggest legends, but more importantly be part of doing good as the tournament donates over a million dollars each year in support of healthcare programs at Allina Health.
