There is no rest for the weary as most of the top players on the PGA Tour are back in action for the third consecutive week, this time at the Travelers Championship, a signature event at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
The field of 70 will be playing for a $20 million purse, with the winner taking home $3.6 million for his victory. Rory McIlroy withdrew early in the week, leaving the field in an odd number. But then Byeong Hun An withdrew midway through Round 1 to make it 70.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is back after tying for 41st place at the U.S. Open, his worst finish of the season. Of course, that came on the heels of a victory the week before at the Memorial Tournament, Scheffler’s fifth of the season, all of them coming at huge events. He tied for fourth place at the Travelers last year.
Keegan Bradley returns to defend his crown, an emotion affair in 2023 as this is the tour event that closest to where he grew up. No one has defended their title in Connecticut since Phil Mickelson back in 2001-02.
Xander Schauffele won the 2022 and looks to continue his impressive season, which of course, includes winning the PGA Championship. Other top-10 players in the field include Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay and Max Homa.
