Held annually in Cromwell, Connecticut, at TPC River Highlands, the tournament boasts a challenging par-70 course that stretches over 6,844 yards. Narrow fairways, thick rough, and strategically placed bunkers keep golfers on their toes throughout the competition.

Despite the challenge, the Travelers Championship is a popular event, consistently ranking second in attendance behind only the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The record attendance of nearly 400,000 fans set in 2002 stands as a testament to its popularity, and recent years have seen crowds consistently exceeding 240,000.

As a designated event on the PGA Tour schedule, the Travelers Championship boasts a significant purse of at least $20 million as of 2024. The winner takes home a hefty sum exceeding $3 million, making it a financially rewarding tournament for the champion.

Beyond the competition itself, the Travelers Championship is recognised for its exceptional player experience. PGA Tour members consistently award it the coveted "Players Choice Award" for its outstanding services, hospitality, and course quality. This dedication to player satisfaction adds another layer of prestige to the tournament.

The list of past champions is impressive, featuring renowned golfers like Bubba Watson (a two-time winner), Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson (another two-time champion), and Vijay Singh. However, only Bubba Watson managed to successfully defend his title, achieving victory in 2018 and 2020.
