Keegan Bradley won the Travelers Championship 2023 on Sunday. The 37-year-old claimed his sixth PGA Tour victory at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, beating a stacked field. Following this, the golfer revealed that he received a bunch of text messages congratulating him on the win, including ones from Michael Jordan and Aaron Rodgers.
Bradley was a fan favorite at the Travelers Championship 2023. The New England native played through the pressure and clinched victory. Later, at the press conference, he was asked if he got to check any of the messages he received. Replying to the query, a wide-smiled Bradley said that he received “two, three hundred texts” and it included some of the biggest names in sports.
Speaking after his Travelers Championship win, Keegan Bradley said, as quoted by Golfweek:
“Well, of course Michael Jordan texted me, and that means a lot to me. He’s obviously my hero but one of my good friends. Timmy Wakefield, Boston Red Sox. Baba Booey from Howard Stern texted me. That was probably my favorite.
"I did a quick scan. I had two, three hundred texts and I saw that. Aaron Rodgers. That meant a lot, even though he plays for the Jets now. It’s such a cool, when you get a text from an athlete it hits different because they know what goes into doing something like this and it means a lot.”
It is pertinent to note that Bradley was lauded by many after his big win at TPC River Highlands. Many of his peers, including Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler, even waited their turns to congratulate the golfer after his event-winning round on Sunday. The gesture by fellow PGA Tour golfers showcased Bradley’s popularity among them.
