Is J.J. Spaun playing the Travelers Championship 2025? US Open champ’s schedule explored

J.J. Spaun won the 2025 US Open by beating a stacked field at Oakmont last weekend. The 34-year-old late bloomer made a massive 64-footer putt in the final hole on Sunday to clinch his maiden major championship title. Interestingly, the two-time PGA Tour winner is wasting no time in celebration and is all set to take on the Travelers Championship 2025 field this weekend.

For the unversed, Travelers Championship, a PGA Tour Signature Event that follows the US Open on the calendar, is set to tee off on Thursday, June 19, at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Spaun will join the likes of World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, No.2 Rory McIlroy, and No.3 Xander Schauffele as one of the 45 top-50 World Golf Ranked players in the contest.

The latest major champ, who jumped 17 Official World Golf Ranking spots to sit eighth on Monday, will be eyeing the winner’s paycheck from the competition’s $20 million purse.

It is pertinent to note that Spaun has had a mixed season so far. The PGA Tour star started off the season on a high with a T3 finish at the Sony Open in Hawaii. However, he failed to make the top 10 in the next five events. He then managed an impressive T2 at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, sharing the position with Jacob Bridgeman as Joe Highsmith clinched victory.

Spaun went on to finish solo second at THE PLAYERS Championship after a solid playoff round with Rory McIlroy, which saw the latter clinch victory. While the Northern Irishman carried on the form and won the Masters, the former failed to replicate it and settled for 50th place at Augusta. Notably, he entered the US Open on the back of a missed cut at The Memorial Tournament. However, he found his form and came out on top.
