The traveling championship does not need any help in bringing Golffans in June.
It is already the second most participated in the PGA Tour event of the year, only behind the waste management is open in Scottsdale.
The tournament itself is also a hit. Last year, Scottie Scheffler defeated Tom Kim in an playoffs. And with the lack of a tournament in the Tri-State area, fans from several states to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut flow. For the experience.

But some stars are missing of course.
Of course, some of the sport’s biggest names (Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka) are not eligible for the travelers who are part of life golf.
But as Liv and PGA continue to work on their agreement (two years in creation), the travelers would welcome those who rejected back with open arms if and when it happens.
“I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I know the guys. These are personal to us,” said Traveler’s Championship CEO Nathan Grube in an interview with Pakinomist Digital. We all saw life -guys in Augusta and we love these guys. It’s personal for us. I have no control over when the guys will come back, but we make sure that when that happens we know they will come here and play. I have no idea what is going to happen, but we love the guys, we invest in those we get to know them. I wish them the best and I would very much like to see them here. “

Since Northern Trust no longer exists, many in New Jersey and New York do not have a more local opportunity, and Grube and his team have jumped off the chance to make their tournament’s participation one of the best on tour (while still claiming New England as their target audience).
“We have done media events with different groups of people. We go down there, we have sponsors. I have board members in the Tri-State area. We make media purchases, players have helped us. We are the event of New England, right? And we embrace what we try to pay attention to it and we try to make sure that families understand that you can spend your day with us. The whole new England region must be proud of.

Scheffler can agree.
“It’s a week where the players, our families and our caddies are treated as good as we go all year. If you ask someone Caddy on tour what their favorite event is, I think they would say The Travelers Championship,” Schefflersaid on the tournament’s media day this week.
