As the PGA Tour continues its exciting season, all eyes are on the 2023 Travelers Championship, one of the most anticipated tournaments on the golf calendar each season. The event, to be held at the picturesque TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, will feature a star-studded field of the world’s best golfers, all vying for a share of the $20 million purse.
While it is true that the US Open 2023 ended just a few days ago, the PGA Tour does not rest, and this week we will have the popular Travelers Championship 2023, which will undoubtedly make all golf lovers around the world bursting with excitement.
Without a doubt, the golfers at the top of the field want to take the victory, that is, those with the label of favorites, such as Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and Xander Schauffele. However, the list of participating golfers is impressive, and anyone can make a big surprise in this event.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele will be back to defend his title after his thrilling playoff victory last year with a score of -19. Schauffele’s exceptional play throughout the 2022 season makes him one of the favorites to repeat his success. However, he will face stiff competition from Scottie Scheffler and Jon Rahm, the leading contenders in this year’s edition.
Travelers Championship – History
The Travelers Championship has a rich history dating back to 1952 and has witnessed some of golf’s most memorable moments.

This year’s edition promises to be no different, with a strong field of competitors and the challenging yet rewarding TPC River Highlands course providing a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable tournament.
