This Week’s Travelers PGA Event Attracts Top Golfers; Proceeds Go to Charities
The Travelers Companies is marking its record 18th year as title sponsor of its Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour event at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
The 2024 Travelers Championship tournament is a PGA Tour Signature Event and the only such event in the Northeast. As a Signature Event, there will be no cut – the full player field will compete in all four rounds
The tournament’s field comprises the world’s top players, including Scottie Scheffler, winner of this year’s Masters and the top-ranked player in the world, Rory McIlroy (No. 2), PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele (No. 3), Ludvig Aberg (No. 4), Wyndham Clark (No. 5) and defending champion Keegan Bradley.
Competition rounds begin Thursday, June 20. Special events are scheduled throughout the week, with spectators allowed on-site starting Wednesday, June 19.
The Travelers Championship donates 100% of its net proceeds to local charities. Since Travelers became title sponsor, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for hundreds of nonprofits throughout New England, including millions of dollars for nearly 200 charities in 2023.
This year’s primary beneficiary will again be The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a nonprofit based in Ashford, Connecticut, that focuses on creating fun and friendships for children with serious illnesses. Many other worthy nonprofits – spanning arts and culture, education, health care, housing, human services, mental health, food insecurity, science and technology, and youth development – also use the tournament as a platform to raise funds and promote their causes.
