The Travelers Companies, Inc. announced that the 2026 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut will run from Thursday, June 25 to Sunday, June 28.
This is a Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour Signature Event and the 20th consecutive tournament with the company serving as title sponsor.
The year’s field features all but one of the eligible top 50 players in the official world golf ranking, including: Scottie Scheffler (No. 1); Cameron Young (No. 3); Matt Fitzpatrick (No. 4); Russell Henley (No. 5); Justin Rose (No. 6); Tommy Fleetwood (No. 7); Wyndham Clark (No. 8); Collin Morikawa (No. 9); and defending champion Keegan Bradley
The insurer-sponsored event will offer a $20 million purse and feature 72 players competing for all four rounds, beginning Thursday, June 25. Ticketed spectators will be allowed on-site starting Wednesday, June 24.
Proceeds from the event will again go to charities. Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for more than 1,000 local and regional charities. Last year, the Travelers Championship distributed more than $4 million to nearly 250 charities, setting new tournament records.
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, based in Ashford, Connecticut, is this year’s primary beneficiary. The organization provides a traditional summer camp experience for children with serious illnesses. Other nonprofits – spanning arts and culture, education, food insecurity, healthcare, housing, human services, mental health, and science and technology – will also benefit.
“This tournament has become part of the fabric of Connecticut, and the more it grows, the more money we can generate for important causes across the region. Giving back to the community that has embraced us for so many years is what drives us to make every year better than the last, “said Andy Bessette, executive vice president of Travelers
