Why were tee times for the Travelers Championship, Round 4 altered? Reasons explored

Severe weather in Cromwell, Connecticut, has forced the PGA Tour to change tee times for the final round of the 2025 Travelers Championship. The PGA Tour posted this on X by writing a post on June 22. This announcement was made to prioritise the safety of players, caddies, staff, and fans.

The caption of the post reads:

"Sunday weather forecast for the Travelers Championship:

Due to approaching storms, R4 starting times will be restructured to a split tee start in groups of 3. Approximate starting times will be 10:55 AM - 12:55 PM. Revised starting times will be published shortly."

The PGA Tour's tee times were delayed across the board. The first group, originally scheduled for an early morning start, teed off later than planned. While the final groups will now begin between 1:10 and 1:50 pm ET. Coverage is expected to continue as originally planned on Golf Channel and CBS from 1-6 pm ET.

As of now, Tommy Fleetwood holds a three-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Travelers Championship. He is grouped with Henley, who is in solo second place. Rory McIlroy will tee off in the penultimate pairing alongside Patrick Cantlay. Local forecasts predict scattered thunderstorms through mid-morning, with conditions expected to clear in early afternoon. Lightning detection systems remain active across the TPC River Highlands.

Despite the alteration, the final round of the Travelers Championship will be completed on Sunday. With storms expected to pass before the final round tees off.
