Palmer at the 3M Championship

August 04, 2010

Blaine, MN – Golf legend Arnold Palmer will be attending the 3M Championship at the TPC Twin Cities – an Arnold Palmer designed course – and playing in the annual Greats of Golf Challenge Saturday, August 7th and Sunday, August 8th.

Defending 3M Championship champion Bernhard Langer is trying to extend his current winning streak to three in a row. Langer is hot coming off back-to-back Champions Tour major victories at the Senior British Open and the U.S. Senior Open in a two-week period.

Palmer will personally fly his Cessna Citation X to the Twin Cities from his home in Latrobe, PA.

The Greats of Golf Challenge, presented by Post-it Brand Products, features nine PGA Champions Tour professional playing in a three-person team, better-ball format.

Last year Team Army (Arnold Palmer, Al Geiberger, Don January) shot a -22 winning in a playoff against Team Ryder Cup (Billy Casper, Tony Jacklin, Gene Litter) -22 and Team International (Chi Chi Rodriguez, Lee Trevino, Charles Coody) -21.

Team Army 2010 will consist of Palmer, Miller Barber and Don January.

"The 3M Championship is a great event that I really enjoy." said Palmer. "It's a lot of fun to play golf with these guys."

Last year was also the first year which offered free admission, parking and shuttles to the public.

"It's very exciting that the 3M Championship is giving golf fans the opportunity to see this great event for free." said Palmer. "I also hope this offer will introduce the sport of golf to some new people as well."
