A busy three-week period in professional golf concludes this week in Connecticut with the 2024 Travelers Championship. This premier event on the PGA Tour takes place at TPC River Highlands, where 71 players will compete for a $20 million purse following the dramatic U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
After a challenging defeat to Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy has opted out of the tournament, creating opportunities for other competitors. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, despite a disappointing performance at the U.S. Open, is expected to be a strong contender over the weekend.
Scheffler, aiming to rebound after failing to score an under-par round for the first time in his professional career, seeks his sixth victory of the season. A win at TPC River Highlands would mark his first triumph at this venue, which saw Xander Schauffele claim victory in 2022.
Schauffele, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, has demonstrated remarkable consistency with four consecutive top-10 finishes dating back to the Wells Fargo Championship. He aims for his second win of the season and a repeat victory at the Travelers Championship.
Other notable players, including Ludvig Åberg, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, Tommy Fleetwood, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Justin Thomas, are vying for their first wins of the year. Meanwhile, U.S. Open contenders Matthieu Pavon, Wyndham Clark, and Hideki Matsuyama look to expand their list of accolades.
