Jackson Koivun is a big leader in the final round of the 2026 3M Open, the PGA Tour event in Minnesota at TPC Twin Cities. If Koivun is able to finish the job and earn the title, it would be his first PGA Tour win.
Koivun is 21 years old, and he has status on the PGA Tour this season after turning pro following an elite collegiate career that saw him earn his PGA Tour card through PGA Tour U Accelerated while still in school.
For Koivun, his journey to the PGA Tour is a remarkable story of achivement.
Koivun was born in San Jose, California, and he attended Auburn University, where he won two national championships, three SEC individual titles and every major college award twice, which had never been done.
Koivun is hitting his prime
Jackson Koivun has won at every level, including as an amateur, and now he's looking to make a splash on the PGA Tour in just his 13th-career start.
Koivun has not yet won as a professional, but he's quickly making his mark on the PGA Tour.
Entering this week, Koivun was 194th in FedEx Cup points and ranked 206th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He earned his way into this event through his status on the PGA Tour.
In his personal life, Koivun is not married.
What a win at the 3M Open means
With a win today, Koivun would earn the benefits of being a PGA Tour winner, including a two-season exemption on the PGA Tour and opportunities to play in big events. He would get into the 2027 editions of the masters, the PGA Championship and The Players. And, according to the 2026 3M Open payout, he would win $1.584 million to top it all off.
