CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Week 30 of the 2024 golf season features six former University of Illinois golfers competing across various professional tours, including the PGA TOUR, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA TOUR Americas, and LIV Golf League.

Nick Hardy and Adrien Dumont de Chassart will participate in the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. This event marks Dumont de Chassart's debut at the 3M Open as he seeks his 10th made cut in his rookie season. Hardy returns for his third appearance at the event, having previously tied for 58th in 2022 and finishing T13 last year.

In the Korn Ferry Tour, Brian Campbell and Timmy Crawford will compete in the NV5 Invitational at The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois. Campbell aims for his third consecutive top-10 finish after strong performances earlier this month. He is currently ranked No. 8 on the Korn Ferry Tour points list and holds a career-high ranking of 175 on the Official World Golf Rankings. Crawford, a Chicago native, looks to rebound after missing the cut last week but secured a sponsor exemption into this week's event.

The LIV Golf League sees Thomas Pieters and his team, RangeGoats, competing at JCB Golf & Country Club in the United Kingdom. Pieters is ranked No. 30 in the individual standings and has achieved four straight top-25 finishes earlier this season.

On the PGA TOUR Americas circuit, rookie Piercen Hunt will aim to build on his recent performance at the Bromont Open with a career-low score of 62 (-8). Hunt seeks to make his second consecutive cut at the Commissionaires Ottawa Open held at Eagle Creek Golf Club in Ottawa, Ontario.
