J.J. Spaun will be playing in the 2025 Travelers Championship from June 19 to 22 at TPC River Highlands, just days after his memorable win at the U.S. Open. Speaking ahead of the event, Spaun revealed that the Los Angeles Dodgers, the MLB team owned by billionaire investor Mark Walter, who has a reported net worth of $6.1 billion, reached out to him following his major win.
The 34-year-old captured his first major title with back-to-back birdies on the final two holes at Oakmont Country Club. He was the only player to finish under par, winning the tournament at 1-under 279.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday at TPC River Highlands, Spaun reflected on the 'whirlwind' that followed his breakthrough moment. He said:
"I m not fully in the clouds still, but we're getting a little below the ceiling, the cloud ceiling, but yeah, it's been, you know, a whirlwind, and everything that's the aftermath of this whole championship has been so crazy."

J.J. Spaun also said the Dodgers' reaching out was one of the unexpected moments in the days following his win.
"All these doors opening, and it's stuff that you, you know, you don't expect, you know, ever really to happen in your career, you know, you have, you know, the Dodgers reaching out, and, uh, you know, Ryder Cup potential," Spaun added.
J.J. Spaun’s win also boosted him to third in the Ryder Cup points standings. He now sits just behind Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, with Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, and Collin Morikawa right behind him. All six are currently in strong positions to make Team USA for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black later this year.
