The 3M Championship was a professional golf tournament in Minnesota on the PGA Tour Champions, played annually at the TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, a suburb north of Minneapolis. Based in Saint Paul, 3M was the main sponsor of the tournament.

It debuted 31 years ago in 1993 as the Burnet Senior Classic, and was originally held at the Bunker Hills Golf Course in nearby Coon Rapids.[1][3] After eight editions, the tournament moved to the year-old TPC Twin Cities in 2001, when 3M took over as sponsor.[4] The purse in 2017 was $1.75 million, with a winner's share of $262,500.[2]

Within the tournament was the "Greats of Golf Challenge," an exhibition scramble on Saturday among teams of former major winners and hall of famers of both genders. Recent participants include Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, and Nancy Lopez.[5]

In 2018, it was announced that the 2018 3M Championship would be the final playing of the event, as it would be replaced by the 3M Open on the PGA Tour starting in 2019.[6] Kenny Perry was the final champion of the event, winning his third 3M Championship on August 5, 2018.[7]
