The final major championship is officially in the books as Xander Schauffele makes it a clean American sweep in the four biggest tournaments of the season. With the majors now behind us, players can focus on the race to the postseason as the FedEx Cup Playoffs quickly approach, with this week's 3M Open serving as a huge week for bubble players.

Last year it was Lee Hodges who ran away with the victory at TPC Twin Cities. Racing past the field, Hodges collected his first career PGA Tour win and secured his playing privileges for the next two season. Not only will job security be on the line but so will opportunities such as major championship exemptions, qualification into future signature events and the Players Championship.

A man who is likely to be fine in that department is former 3M Open champion Tony Finau. The six-time PGA Tour winner headlines the field after missing the cut at The Open due to rounds of 71-81. Riding a wave of quality form here in the United States, Finau hopes to regain his footing and capture his first win of the season.

Others currently in the field include Sam Burns, Akshay Bhatia, Sahith Theegala and last week's runner-up finisher Billy Horschel as the race to the postseason heats up.
