After a riveting US Open, the PGA Tour travels just down the road from Massachusetts to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship. TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, takes the baton from The Country Club, hosting a field that features the top four players in the FedEx Cup rankings led by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Joining Scheffler are Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and Harris English, the tournament’s defending champion. English will look to win another Travelers after last year’s exhilarating (and exhausting) eight-hole playoff over Kramer Hickok, which was golf’s version of a war of attrition ultimately ending in the second-longest playoff in PGA Tour history.

This is the first year since before the COVID-19 pandemic that the Travelers will have full attendance. Will they be seeing another playoff? It’s quite possible as there have been extra holes at this event 25 times in the event’s 70-year history.

The winner will receive 500 points and a $1.494 million share of the $8.3 million purse.
