When golfers select a club, they want something that will deliver consistency, distance and control. Achieving that level of performance on the course requires an extraordinary effort behind the scenes — that’s where the partnership between PING and 3M shines.

By pairing PING’s expertise in club design and custom manufacturing with 3M’s broad portfolio of materials science solutions, the two companies can collaborate on engineering solutions that turn complex technical challenges into repeatable, high-quality results on the course.

Watch 3M and PING in action to see how science and craftsmanship come together on the factory floor.

Technology at every stage of manufacturing

Building a modern golf club requires exacting standards, from individual fittings to component preparation, custom manufacturing and final delivery. Inside PING’s facilities, 3M technologies are woven throughout the entire process to help meet each athlete’s expectations.

“We see 3M as a very closely integrated partner,” said Oscar Mortera, director of manufacturing engineering, PING. “They help us through almost every step — from when materials arrive in the warehouse to when a club is scanned for shipping at the end of production.”

Whether enabling accurate component bonding, supporting surface preparation with precision abrasives or providing durable tracking labels, 3M solutions help ensure quality and efficiency across the production process.  

“3M enables our innovation,” added Ryan Stokke, director of product design, PING. “When we’re excited about a creative new pathway, and we have an engineering idea, we look to 3M to pair it with a great engineering solution. They help us overcome specific challenges so we can deliver a better golf club.”

Built to survive the extreme —– from freezers to ovens

Before any club reaches a golfer’s hands, it undergoes extreme environmental and mechanical validation to guarantee performance under tough conditions.

Inside PING’s durability lab, 3M epoxies and adhesive tapes are put to the ultimate test using “”PING Man,” PING’s legendary robotic testing system.

“We’ll put clubs in the freezer for two hours, then hit balls with PING Man and see if the club survives,” explained Doug Conatser, senior analysis and testing supervisor, PING. “If it does, it immediately goes into an oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for a couple of hours before hitting more shots. It’s an extensive environmental and thermal cycling of the 3M products, and they stand up to that wide temperature range.”

Turning innovation into results

From the factory floor to the first tee, the collaboration between 3M and PING demonstrates how science, engineering, and shared passion come together to elevate the game for golfers worldwide.

FAQ

What is the partnership between 3M and PING?

The partnership brings together PING’s expertise in golf club design and custom manufacturing with 3M materials science and technology. Together, the companies collaborate on solutions that support performance, precision, quality and consistency in golf club production.

How are 3M technologies used in PING golf clubs?

These solutions—including 3M™ Trizact™, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ and more—help PING meet exacting standards from production through final delivery.

Why are adhesives, tapes and abrasives important in golf club manufacturing?

Golf clubs must perform consistently under demanding conditions, so materials used in manufacturing need to support strength, durability and precision. Adhesives, tapes and abrasives help connect components, prepare surfaces and maintain quality throughout the production process.

We have heard from many CSR leaders who are eager to develop their strategy and increase their impact, but they are underfunded, underresourced, and overworked. They lack the budget to bring in additional staff or consultants. Even when they secure funding, it is often difficult to devote the necessary time to strategic planning.

CSR Talent Group was started to help address this problem. We’ve recruited consultants with the unique experience necessary to create or provide a strategy refresh, helping CSR leaders move forward and address critical issues with a minimal budget.

By way of example, a new consultant in our network, first worked for several companies, and has spent the last 30 years advising hundreds of companies—including many of the Fortune 50—on their CSR strategy and approach. She determined that many companies would benefit from a short-term, highly focused approach that provides a strategic roadmap while acknowledging their budget and availability limitations.

Few individuals possess the combination of corporate and deep consulting experience that provides the perspective, knowledge and expertise needed to help companies advance their programs. However, CSR Talent Group has many individuals who meet that criteria.

If you need a powerful boost to your CSR strategy, we have the individual who can help. Let’s find a moment to discuss. Reach out to me at knowlton@csrtalentgroup.com and we can schedule a time to connect.

As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, researchers are using cutting-edge technology to preserve one of the nation’s most enduring symbols: the Liberty Bell.

In partnership with the National Park Service and the VAR Lab at Penn State Behrend recently completed what is believed to be one of the most comprehensive digital preservation efforts ever undertaken for the Liberty Bell. The resulting high-fidelity digital model will help preserve the historic artifact for future generations while expanding opportunities for research, education and public access.

Using laser-line and structured-light scanning, LiDAR, and photogrammetry capable of capturing details as small as 10-25 microns—less than half the width of a human hair—the team created multiple research-grade digital models of the bell without ever touching, moving or altering the historic artifact.

The project was completed during a tightly controlled nine-hour access window over two days at the Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia. Working before and after public visiting hours, researchers deployed an extensive suite of scanning equipment to capture the bell and its surroundings from virtually every possible angle.

To support the effort, Lenovo provided a Lenovo Legion system that enabled researchers to process and validate massive scan datasets onsite, helping ensure data quality during the limited access window. The system also supported visualization, quality assurance and media workflows throughout the project.

“Having the Lenovo Legion system with us in Philadelphia made a real difference for the field workflow,” said Christopher R. Shelton, Ph.D., Founder and Director, VAR Lab (The Emerging Technologies Hub). “It gave the team more flexibility during a very limited access window and helped us manage onsite processing, quality assurance, visualization and media work in a way that would have been much harder without it.”

The digital model will serve as a permanent archival record while also being made broadly available for education, research and public engagement through interactive digital experiences. The work also lays the foundation for future research, including acoustic simulations that could help answer a longstanding question: What would the Liberty Bell sound like if it were rung today in its current cracked state?

“As we approach America’s Semiquincentennial, technology is creating entirely new ways to preserve, study and experience our shared history,” said Milo Speranzo, Chief Marketing Officer, Lenovo North America. “We’re proud Lenovo technology helped support the creation of a high-fidelity digital record of the Liberty Bell that can benefit researchers, educators and future generations.”

Future phases of the project may also include creating a full-scale 3D-printed replica capable of recreating the bell’s sound for educational experiences, further demonstrating how advanced computing, AI and digital preservation technologies can help protect and share cultural heritage.

By helping researchers preserve and study an irreplaceable piece of American history, Lenovo technology is demonstrating how innovation can help safeguard our shared heritage for generations to come.

The 3M Open returned to TPC Twin Cities in July for its eighth edition, rewriting the record book and crowning a 21-year-old champion who held off the top player in the world.

Across four rounds, the field produced a career-low opening round, one of the rarest scores in PGA TOUR history and a hometown surge that sent the gallery home happy.

Here are the moments that defined the week.

A breakthrough victory and 72-hole record

Jackson Koivun captured his first PGA TOUR victory Sunday, closing with rounds of 61 and 66 to finish at 25-under-par 259. The total set a new 3M Open 72-hole scoring record and sealed a three-stroke victory over World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Playing in just his third PGA TOUR start as a professional, Koivun became the seventh first-time winner on Tour this season.

“You know, I played a great round of golf today. Definitely had some nerves coming down on 18. All throughout the crowd I kept hearing, ‘Scottie’s coming, Scottie’s coming,’” said Koivun. “I just tried to tone that out and keep playing the golf I knew I could.”

 

He also expressed gratitude for the tournament. “I’ll be forever indebted to the 3M Open for helping me get my first PGA TOUR win,” said Koivun.

A historic 59 for the record books

The week’s defining round came Friday. Michael Kim fired a bogey-free 12-under 59 in the second round, setting both a 3M Open tournament record and a TPC Twin Cities course record.

Punctuated by a 24-foot birdie putt on the 18^th green, Kim’s performance stands as just the 16th sub-60 round in PGA TOUR history, rocketing him to 14-under and the top of the 36-hole leaderboard. While Koivun later claimed the 72-hole scoring title on Sunday, Kim’s electric Friday round remains in the record books as the lowest single round ever played at the course.

Fast starts and a local fan favorite

The low scoring began early Thursday. Ben Kohles opened the tournament with a bogey-free 9-under 62, a career low, and set the tone for an exciting week of play.

Meanwhile, Minnesota native Muzzy Donohue made his PGA TOUR debut and delivered one of the week’s standout stories. Donohue entered the field just days before the tournament began after receiving a sponsor exemption from 3M — check out his reaction to the surprise invitation here.

Donohue didn’t waste the opportunity: After carding an 8-under 63 in the second round, he surged to 6-under to make the weekend cut. For a tournament dedicated to bringing world-class golf to Minnesota, Donohue gave the hometown crowd a run worth celebrating.

 

Community impact through golf

While multiple scoring records will define this week in tournament history, it’s the event’s local impact that continues to set the 3M Open apart.

All net proceeds from the tournament flow to the 3M Open Fund, a foundation created when 3M and the PGA TOUR established the event in 2019. Since its inception, the fund has directed more than $9.5 million to the Twin Cities community, positively impacting more than 1.25 million youth and young adults through pillar charities chosen based on need.

Among those supported is Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled military service members and first responders. In 2024, the 3M Open added Folds of Honor Friday to tournament week programming to honor those who serve and support their families.

Tournament week also featured Golf 4 All Day, hosted in partnership with 3M Community Impact, which brought more than 500 students to TPC Twin Cities for an educational experience across the course.

Science on and around the course

Beyond competitive play and record-setting scores, tournament attendees got a firsthand look at 3M technologies in action across the course, from fan experiences and games to course infrastructure and staff support. Read more about how 3M technology shaped this year’s 3M Open here.

WASHINGTON, August 5, 2026 /3BL/ – Vanilla farming communities in Madagascar will have the opportunity to participate in a capacity building project that fosters independence, sustainable livelihoods and trade justice throughout the next three and a half years.

With funding from Frontier Co-op, an American organic spice company, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, Fairtrade will implement a comprehensive project supporting smallholder vanilla cooperatives in vanilla producing regions of Madagascar. The project aims to:

• Enhance vanilla production’s sustainability, productivity, and economic resilience for the benefit of Malagasy farmers and workers
• Promote resilient agroforestry systems that incorporate tree species and additional crops, helping to enhance food security and diversify farmers’ incomes
• Break down existing gender and age barriers to support women and youth participation in decision- and money-making activities

“Farmer resilience starts with long-term investment,” said Tony Bedard, CEO, Frontier Co-op. “When vanilla farmers have the resources, stability, and support they need to adapt and invest in their farms and cooperatives, the result is stronger communities and more resilient global supply chains.”

Traditional vanilla farming often involves monoculture production with minimal shade tree coverage, which can lead to poor soil health, loss of wildlife through deforestation, and greater risk from climate-related events like droughts and storms. Growing vanilla alone also makes farmers more vulnerable to price changes, pests, crop diseases, and other unexpected challenges. Although women and youth play an important role in vanilla production, they often have less access to land, financial services, and leadership opportunities within cooperatives. Cooperatives involved in this project will become agents of change, helping to improve safety, inclusivity, and equity in vanilla production.

This project will be one of nine global projects under the Dignified Opportunities Nurtured for Trade and Sustainability (DONUTS) Program, which has been operating since 2022. The second phase of the DONUTS Program will run from 2026-2029 with projects in Ghana, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Kenya, and Uganda.

“Fairtrade has long championed the farmers and cooperatives leading efforts to strengthen resilience in an increasingly fragile agricultural sector,” said Amanda Archila, Executive Director, Fairtrade America. “With Frontier Co-op’s investment into the DONUTS program, current and future generations of Malagasy vanilla producers will lead the way in creating sustainable solutions to support their land, families and communities, which ultimately protects the future viability of the global vanilla supply chain.”

DONUTS was designed to complement Fairtrade certification and associated economic benefits in regions where communities that rely on agriculture face multiple increasingly dire threats, including child labor and forced labor, discrimination against marginalized groups, unfair trading practices, climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity degradation. From 2022-20225, farmers and workers across nine countries in Africa and Latin America participated in DONUTS interventions tailored to their community’s unique needs. Fairtrade estimates that just over 600,000 people have benefited from interventions carried out through the DONUTS program.
