The Travelers Championship is the final Signature Event of the year on the PGA Tour and there’s a stacked field for the 2024 edition. The event has been held at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut since 1984 and many of the world’s best golfers will descend on the golf once again.
Included in the field for 2024 are all of the top five highest-ranked male players, in addition to the defending champion. Scottie Scheffler (World No. 1) Rory McIlroy (No. 2), Xander Schauffele (No. 3), Ludvig Aberg (No. 4) and Wyndham Clark (No. 5) will be looking to prise the trophy from Keegan Bradley, who secured a three-stroke victory last year.
