A star-studded field including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler tees off in the 2026 Travelers Championship, with 49 of the top 50 OWGR pros, competing for the $20 million purse at TPC River Highlands June 25-28.

CROMWELL, Connecticut – The Travelers Championship, which is the final Signature Event of the PGA TOUR season and the only PGA Tour event scheduled in New England, tees off June 25-28 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

The field is again loaded with the PGA Tour’s top players with all but one of the eligible top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking. Scottie Scheffler has been the top-ranked player in the world since May 2023, and won the Travelers Championship in 2024. He is joined in this year’s field by Cameron Young (No. 3), winner of THE PLAYERS Championship; Matt Fitzpatrick (No. 4); Russell Henley (No. 5); Tommy Fleetwood (No. 6); Justin Rose (No. 7); J.J. Spaun (No. 9), the reigning U.S. Open champion; Collin Morikawa (No. 10); and Keegan Bradley, winner of two of the past three tournaments at TPC River Highlands (2025 and 2023) and Wyndham Clark, who put in a dominant performance at Shinnicock Hills in the 126th U.S. Open.

“The caliber of PGA TOUR professionals committed to play in next week’s Travelers Championship is a testament to what the event has become,” said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. “It’s certainly a win for golf fans in New England, but just as importantly, hosting such an exceptional week of golf makes a real difference for hundreds of charities in the region while also delivering a meaningful economic impact.”
