Connecticut’s largest single sporting event, the Travelers Championship golf tournament, continues to be part of the top level of events on the PGA Tour.
For the fourth straight year, the Travelers Championship will be a signature tour event on the PGA Tour with 72 of the world’s best players in the final signature tour event of the season on June 22-28 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, the tournament announced on Wednesday.
It’s also the 20th consecutive year that Travelers will be the title sponsor of the event, the only annual PGA Tour stop in New England.
“We can’t wait to welcome back the best players on the PGA Tour and the incredible fans who make this tournament one of the best weeks in golf,” said Nathan Grube, the tournament director. “We also have the best title sponsor in golf, and we’re grateful for the partnership we have with Travelers, which has played a major role in growing this event to what it is today. Together, we are determined to deliver another unforgettable experience to everyone in Connecticut.”
As a signature tour event, there are no cuts and all 72 players play four rounds at TPC River Highlands. The tournament purse is $20 million. In 2025, every player in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking – and 45 of the top 50 – competed at TPC River Highlands.
Last year’s tournament was won in dramatic fashion by Keegan Bradley, who made a birdie on the final hole to win by one stroke and become just the eighth player to capture this event more than once. Bradley, a New England native who served as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain last year, also won the Travelers Championship in 2023.
“Having the best players in the world competing in our field gives our fans the opportunity to see world-class golf and thrilling finishes while also supporting our charitable efforts,” said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers.
Bradley may have electrified the crowds for the second time in three years, but the impact made by the Travelers Championship away from the course in 2025 was just as memorable.
More than $4 million was generated for 245 charities, with both figures establishing tournament records. Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated more than $35 million for over 1,000 charities.
Shining a light on organizations in need and providing a platform for them to spread their message continues to be a key component of the Travelers Championship’s mission.
“Even though we’ve achieved tremendous success since 2007 – from the quality of the player field to attendance and charitable contributions – we won’t let it keep us from finding ways to make the Travelers Championship bigger and better than ever,” Bessette said.
Individual tickets are expected to go on sale in early April, while corporate ticket packages are available now.
