Rain affected 3M Open 2025 activate preferred lies for Round 1

The opening round of the 2025 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities began under wet and humid conditions after overnight rainfall left the fairways soft and muddy. With thunderstorms threatening to roll in during the morning and afternoon, tournament officials decided to implement preferred lies, allowing players to lift, clean, and place their golf balls in closely mown areas.

The PGA Tour Communications confirmed the decision just before play began. On July 24, the @PGATOURComms posted the update on X, stating:

"Due to rainfall yesterday, preferred lies in use for the first round of the 3M Open."

The forecast for the day, according to AccuWeather, called for limited sunshine and high humidity. Temperatures were expected to reach 27–29°C (80–84°F), with winds up to 13 km/h and gusts reaching 30 km/h. Isolated thunderstorms were likely in both the morning and afternoon hours, with an estimated 40–60% chance of rain during the peak of play.

The first round was scheduled to be played from Thursday, July 24, beginning at 6:45 a.m. CDT from the first ten holes. The 3M Open is being contested at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, for the seventh straight year. The course, which measures 7,431 yards and plays as a par 71, is known for its water hazards and penal rough.
