3M Open prize money: Jackson Koivun wins $1.584m

Golf fans in Britain searching for the 2026 3M Open payout now have a confirmed answer: Jackson Koivun won the tournament and collected $1.584 million from an $8.8 million purse. Scottie Scheffler finished second and earned $959,200, while England's Jordan Smith tied for 39th and received $36,520. The result also gave 21-year-old Koivun his first PGA Tour title in only his third professional start.

What People Are Searching For

The main question is how much the 3M Open winner received, followed by the complete payout for players who made the cut. Before the final round, GOLF.com's payout guide listed the champion's share at $1.584 million and second place at $959,200. Those figures were later matched by the final results reported after Koivun's victory.

Interest also centred on whether the early leader could hold off the world's top-ranked player. Koivun entered Sunday at 20 under with a three-shot lead after a 10-under 61, while Scheffler began six shots behind at 14 under. The final report confirmed that Scheffler climbed to second but did not overtake Koivun.

What Is Confirmed

• Koivun won the 2026 3M Open for his first PGA Tour title, according to the PGA Tour's final highlights.
• The total purse was $8.8 million, with $1.584 million paid to the winner.
• Scheffler finished runner-up and received $959,200.
• Hideki Matsuyama, Brian Harman, Chandler Phillips and Denny McCarthy tied for third, each earning $403,040.
• Players tied for 20th still received six-figure cheques of $103,840 each.
• England's Jordan Smith tied for 39th and earned $36,520.

The distribution shows how sharply prize money rises near the top. The difference between first and second was $624,800, while the four players tied for third each received less than half of Scheffler's runner-up payment. Even 66th place, Fabian Gomez, earned $18,744 before deductions.

What Is Unconfirmed

The supplied reports do not state Koivun's final score or his exact winning margin. They confirm the winner, runner-up and payout amounts, but not the full final scoring detail needed to reconstruct how the last round unfolded shot by shot.

The exact amount each player keeps after deductions is also not provided. Golf Monthly's final payout report notes that various factors reduce what players actually take home, but it does not calculate those amounts.

The Bigger Picture

Koivun's victory carried more than a large cheque. Golf Monthly reported that the win moved him to 70th in the FedEx Cup standings and secured his PGA Tour status for the foreseeable future. With only three events remaining before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, that jump could reshape the rest of his season.

His route to the title was unusually quick. The 21-year-old had only recently turned professional, had finished tied 23rd at the 2026 US Open in his final event as an amateur, and then recorded a top-10 finish at the ISCO Championship. At the 3M Open, he followed a Saturday 61 with a victory against a field that included Scheffler and Matsuyama.

For British viewers, the tournament also offered a direct link through Jordan Smith. Sky Sports reported that the Englishman arrived after a tied-18th finish at Royal Birkdale, opened the 3M Open with a level-par round, and ultimately shared 39th place.

Latest Status

Jackson Koivun is the confirmed 2026 3M Open champion and the winner of the event's $1.584 million top prize. Scheffler took second place and $959,200, while four players shared third. The final payout list extends to 66th place, with every player who made the cut receiving prize money.
