Travelers Championship Preview 2025

Just a few days on from the US Open, the Travelers Championship takes centre stage as the last Signature Event of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

The tour will visit TPC River Highlands, as it does every year, for the eighth and final elevated purse tournament before the FedEx Cup Playoffs roll around in August.

At less than 6,900 yards, you might expect some low scoring this week in Connecticut.

American Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion after his playoff win over Tom Kim. The likes of Xander Schauffele and Dustin Johnson have both won this event in recent years, as has Bubba Watson.
