2020 Travelers Championship purse: Payout breakdown and winner’s share

James Colgan — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 14:51:07 +0000

It’s been a while for Dustin Johnson, but it might not be much longer. The former world No. 1 sits just two strokes back of the leader (Brendon Todd) heading into the final round of play at the Travelers Championship from TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.

Johnson moved to 16 under for the tournament after a bogey-less third round 61 that saw five birdies on the back nine alone. DJ has been plagued by injury and inconsistency over the last two years — his last victory came all the way back in February 2019 at the WGC-Mexico Championship and he has only two wins in the last 25 months.

But if Johnson is to leave the Travelers victorious, he’ll have to supersede the performance set forth by Brendon Todd. Todd’s dominant driving performance has put him at 18 under heading into Sunday, his worst round of the week coming in at a breezy 66. The 34-year-old is the only player on the PGA Tour with three 54-hole leads during the 2020 season and has hit 41 of 42 fairways heading into the final round of play. Johnson and Todd are set to tee off shortly after 2:00 p.m., ET (you can check out the rest of Sunday’s tee times here)

Also lurking near the top of the leaderboard are Bryson DeChambeau (tied for fifth at 13 under), Abraham Ancer (tied for seventh at 12 under) and Phil Mickelson (also at 12 under). Mickelson squandered his 36-hole lead with a 1-over 71 on Saturday, lowlighted by a sequence in which he struck a sand shot over the green and onto a nearby set of train tracks.

Below is the prize money and winner’s share for the Travelers Championship’s $7.4 million purse; TV coverage begins at 1:00 p.m. ET on Golf Channel before the action switches over to CBS at 3:00 p.m. ET.

2020 Travelers Championship tee times: Third round groupings for Saturday

Jessica Marksbury — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 23:44:35 +0000

The first two rounds of the 2020 Travelers Championship are in the books, and 50-year-old Phil Mickelson leads by one shot over Will Gordon and Mackenzie Hughes after firing rounds of 64-63, bringing him to 13 under par overall. It’s the second-lowest 36-hole total of Mickelson’s lengthy playing career, surpassed only by the 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open, when he opened with rounds of 60-65. Mickelson went on to win that tournament by four shots.

Notable tee times for Travelers Championship Round 3

Because inclement weather is expected on Saturday afternoon, the field will tee off in threesomes off of split tees from 7:15-9:15 a.m. ET.

If players don’t start taking the safety protocols seriously, we could lose the PGA Tour again

Luke Kerr-Dineen — Wed, 24 Jun 2020 19:13:11 +0000

CROMWELL, Conn. — I’m on the ground this week at the Travelers Championship, my first week on the road since Bay Hill, in early March, when the prevailing attitude toward the coronavirus was merely a thing that was happening somewhere else. I was excited to attend the Travelers — not just to get back out on Tour but also to see how the entire operation would be different in these remarkable times.

Large swaths of the event at TPC River Highlands are obviously quite different. The absence of fans aside, every PGA Tour staff member and volunteer I saw was wearing a mask. Cleaners orbited every object in a constant loop. Upon arrival, I was issued a saliva test, had my temperature screened and was ushered to my plexiglass media box, issued two bottles of hand sanitizer, two masks, a pack of sanitizing wipes, an access key to the virtual press conferences, and provided with a set of strict safety guidelines.

The system in place isn’t perfect, and any rational person knew it wouldn’t be — there are just too many variables. This is the first week coaches and media were tested, all of whom have been permitted to roam the grounds even as they await their official test results. That was always the most concerning loophole in the PGA Tour’s policy: that players and caddies could be carrying the virus and potentially spreading it on-site, unknowingly, until proven that they have the virus.

Still, the sweeping safety procedures the PGA Tour has been imposing have been impressive and are improving by the week. The Tour should be commended for its diligence.

But the chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and unfortunately, the PGA Tour has a big one: The laissez-faire attitude of its players and caddies.

PGA Tour issues stern warning to players after positive coronavirus tests

By: Sean Zak

Only after Brooks Koepka’s WD did I witness a handful of players wearing masks, and even then, it was only a handful. On Wednesday afternoon, coaches roamed the range with impunity. There were countless fist bumps and handshakes, and equipment changing hands. At one point, I witnessed a group of eight players and caddies huddled on a small tee box, waiting to tee off, one of the players killing time by going through another’s bag, grabbing his clubs and making practice swings before putting them back.

It’s easy to laser-in on individual anecdotes and cast wide generalizations, but the truth is, at least from my two days on site, that through some combination of not caring enough and feeling comfortable enough, the players simply aren’t, in the words of the PGA Tour’s most recent statement on the matter, “doing their part.”

The range and practice green at the Travelers. Luke Kerr-Dineen

Over the past months, millions of Americans have seen their day-to-day routines upended. In large parts of the country the simplest of golfing pleasures, like retrieving one’s ball from the hole, or walking into a clubhouse, have been interrupted (and, yes, big picture, we’re very aware these altered customs are trivial). Golfers yearn for some sense of normalcy, and the return of the PGA Tour was supposed to provide it. In retrospect, perhaps the Tour should’ve followed the NBA’s model and pitched up at a sprawling property like Pinehurst, taken over the resort and played different courses over a series of weeks.

But even still, it’d be impossible to divorce the personal responsibility players and caddies have to keep safe everyone in the Tour’s traveling circus, something Justin Thomas spoke to on Wednesday.

“I think as weeks go on, it’s easier to get a little bit lazier and maybe get a little bit more lenient on what you know you should and shouldn’t do,” he said. “If you see somebody doing something wrong, don’t just let it go and tell everybody about like, oh, this person was doing something wrong, because you’re in the same boat. That’s where everyone just needs to hold themselves and everybody else accountable. If that involves getting a little bit stricter, then so be it.”

Professional athletes live in a comfort zone and often aren’t accustomed to following social protocols or mandates. Players may think they’re doing enough but many aren’t — the fist-bumping and handling of other players’ clubs and socializing at bars and restaurants around Tour stops needs to be curtailed. On Wednesday afternoon, Charley Hoffman, who is the chairman of the Players Advisory Council, told Golf Channel that perhaps the Tour’s successful first week back — no players or caddies tested positive at Colonial — fueled a “false sense of security.”

That mindset is not going to cut it anymore. Mistakes can be excused, but a widespread lack of effort from players cannot be. Maybe the Tour needs to consider having volunteers whose only job is to follow players around and enforce distancing. Or perhaps players will only get the message if the Tour begins doling out penalties or suspensions to players who fail to distance. Maybe more frequent testing is required, or events without caddies. Or maybe the Tour needs to take a bolder step still and shut down again.

Either way, the players need to adjust their behavior and start playing by the rules.

Another star-studded grouping to look out for in the opening round is that of Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth, who tee off at 12:40 p.m. ET. Spieth has seen some signs of a much-improved game in recent weeks, though he hasn’t been able to close on the weekends.

2020 Travelers Championship: How to watch this week's PGA Tour event in Connecticut

Kevin Cunningham — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 18:34:41 +0000

The PGA Tour heads to TPC River Highlands in Connecticut this week for the 2020 Travelers Championship, the third tournament since the Tour’s restart. Here’s everything you need to know about the event, including tee times for the first and second rounds.

Travelers Championship preview

For the third week in a row fans will be treated to live PGA Tour golf, and once again the field is packed with the game’s top players. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy will be there, looking to avenge a couple of mediocre starts in recent weeks. Despite flashing some serious game at times, McIlroy finished T32 at the Charles Schwab Challenge and T41 at the RBC Heritage.

But McIlroy isn’t the sole betting favorite at the Travelers. He shares that honor with Justin Thomas and five-time Tour champion Bryson DeChambeau. DeChambeau has earned a lot of attention for his recent physical transformation and the resulting monster drives, but he’s been making noise on leaderboards, too, collecting two top-10s in a row. So he’s primed to try to make his way back into the winner’s circle.

Last week’s winner Webb Simpson, along with defending champion Chez Reavie, Jordan Spieth, Brooks Koepka and more are also in the field, so there will be plenty of action to watch, although no fans will be watching from the course. Here’s what you need to follow along from home.

Here's what you missed from Round 1 of the Travelers Championship

Jessica Marksbury — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 03:29:11 +0000

It’s common for the field strength to be less than optimal at a tournament that’s held the week after a major, but that’s certainly not the case at the Travelers Championship, which is packed with some serious star power. Brooks, Phil, Jordan, Jason, JT and Louis are all in attendance, not to mention newly-minted professionals Matthew Wolff and Viktor Hovland.

Here’s everything you missed from Thursday’s action at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.

It's a SIX-WAY tie at the top

To decribe the leaderboard as tightly clustered would be an understatement. Sixty-four was the low round of the day at TPC River Highlands, and six players matched it: Ryan Armour, Bronson Burgoon, Kyoung-Hoon Lee, Abraham Ancer, Mackenzie Hughes and Zach Sucher. Top top it off, there are six more players only only shot behind, including Keegan Bradley, Paul Casey and Chez Reavie.

Pro starts Travelers Championship with four three-putts in a row

Some big names are in the mix

The list of high-profile players within three shots of the lead is extensive: Keegan Bradley (-5), Paul Casey (-5), Patrick Cantlay (-4), Tommy Fleetwood (-4), Louis Oosthuizen (-4), Phil Mickelson (-3) and Viktor Hovland (-3).

Of those names (all of whom are having excellent seasons), Patrick Cantlay’s star is currently shining brightest. He has a win (the Memorial) and eight total top-10 finishes thus far this season, including a solo-second at the Shriners and a T-3 at the PGA Championship.

Phil Mickelson is seeking his 45th career Tour victory this week.

USA Today Sports

Phil Mickelson gives grim prognostication on future U.S. Open chances

It was a tough start for Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth

Kopeka and Spieth will need to have a good bounce-back round on Friday if they hope to stick around for the weekend. Kopeka fired a one-over-par 71 (four bogeys, three birdies) while Jordan Spieth was three-over (two bogeys, a triple-bogey, and two birdies).
