2026 3M Open: Your Ultimate Guide to Watching Round 1

Alright, golf fans, buckle up. The 2026 3M Open is kicking off Thursday, and if you don’t know how to catch all the action, you’re gonna be seriously pissed off. We’re talking TPC Twin Cities, Minnesota, and a field looking to make some noise. Forget missing the opening shots because you didn’t know where to look. This is your playbook to catch every damn swing.

And hey, let’s talk about Max Homa. The guy’s been on a rollercoaster, right? Six-time Tour winner, then dropped off the map a bit. Missed the FedEx Cup playoffs last year, barely scraped by with partial status for this year. But damn, he’s looking like his old self. T9 at the Masters? That’s a statement. He clawed his way back into the top 50, even after a little stumble. Now, with a solo second at the John Deere and a T28 at The Open Championship, Homa’s back in the playoff hunt. He’s teeing it up this week, trying to keep that hot streak alive. You don’t want to miss his Thursday start.

How to Catch Round 1: TV & Streaming Deets

So, you wanna watch the 3M Open on Thursday? It’s not rocket science, but you gotta know the channels. The main event, the TV coverage, hits the Golf Channel starting at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. If you’re an early bird, or just want to see the absolute first swings, PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ is your jam. They kick off their exclusive streaming coverage at 7:45 a.m. ET. That’s where you’ll find the featured groups and those crucial featured holes. The GOLF App? Yeah, it’ll mirror the Golf Channel broadcast. Basically, no excuses to miss anything. We’ve got the full rundown below, so you can plan your day. Don’t be that guy asking where the golf is at 5 p.m.

Max Homa's Thursday Tee Time

Max Homa is scheduled to tee off for the opening round on Thursday at 8:18 a.m. ET. He’s not going it alone, though. He’s paired up with Jake Knapp and Corey Conners. This is a group you’ll want to keep an eye on. Homa’s resurgence is the storyline, but Knapp and Conners are no slouches. Expect some solid golf from this early tee time.

Your Day-Long Golf Viewing Schedule

Let’s break down how you can watch the entire first round of the 2026 3M Open. This isn’t just about the afternoon TV block; it’s about following the whole damn day.

  • Early Morning Streaming (7:45 a.m. ET onwards): This is where the real golf junkies live. PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ is your go-to. They’ll have early coverage, featured groups, and those isolated hole feeds that let you really dissect the action. If you’re a fan of specific players or just want to soak in the atmosphere from the get-go, this is your ticket. You can also stream this on the GOLF App.
  • Afternoon TV Coverage (4 p.m. – 7 p.m. ET): The Golf Channel is where the main broadcast lives. This is when most people tune in. They’ll be showing the bulk of the action, highlighting the leaders and the most compelling storylines. It’s the standard way to catch the tournament, and it’s usually pretty well-produced.

So, you can start your day with the early action on streaming and then transition to the main TV broadcast. It’s a full day of golf if you’re dedicated. Or, you know, you can just catch the highlights later. Whatever floats your boat. But if you want the full experience, you gotta commit.
