World class golf is always on display at the Travelers Championship. Each year, the stars come out for the second-most attended PGA Tour event annually. TPC at River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut is an intensely crafted, par-70 course that brings out the best in the competition. The playing field tends to lend itself to great shots but also unbelievable comebacks. Over the last decade, longer hitters have done well at the tournament with Bubba Watson winning three times since 2010. The Travelers Championship has been a highlight of the sport for 60 years and this time around is no different.
Just two years ago, Watson went on an incredible run and came home $1.2 million richer after posting an incredible 17-under score. This year the competition looks to be much tougher. With 155 other golfers, Watson will have a tough time defending his title at the course where he’s made a name for himself.
The Travelers Championship is frequently cited as one of the premier events on the PGA Tour. In fact, in 2002, the tournament set a record with 400,000 spectators coming out that week. The best golfers in the world attend the event for a reason.
