After the drama of the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club, which saw Wyndham Clark claim victory as Rory McIlroy missed out on a fifth Major title again, there’s little time to recuperate for most of the world’s best players.
That's because the latest of the PGA Tour’s designated events, the Travelers Championship, takes place at TPC River Highlands. That means, as well as a similarly world-class field to the Major, there’s also an identical purse - $20m, with the winner earning $3.6m.
Xander Schauffele had been in contention for the US Open title before a disappointing final round left him in a tie for 10th, but he will surely be confident of finding more of that early form in a tournament he won last year.
Shauffele followed that victory up with another win in the Genesis Scottish Open two weeks later, and he will be targeting a similar run with the next Major, the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, coming next month.
Clark also plays, fresh from his maiden Major title. The 29-year-old showed he has the nerve for the big occasion during the final round with a display that had only a couple of late wobbles as he held off the challenge of McIlroy.
After also winning the Wells Fargo Championship in May, Clark's stock is rising considerably - along with a career high world ranking - and he will be another hoping to challenge at the top of the leaderboard again.
McIlroy also follows up last week’s performance with an appearance this week. There was little wrong with his game during that final round at the US Oepn, and it was the latest encouraging display in a run that has stretched to four top-10 finishes in a row. The 34-year-old will be favourite to finally end his run without a Major win at the Open Championship, and will be keen to continue his solid form in Connecticut.
Another player who impressed in the US Open was Harris English, who finished T8. He won the 2021 Travelers Championship and will be hoping this week’s event brings him his first victory since that occasion.
In total, eight of the world’s top 10 are in the field this week, with only Jordan Spieth and LIV Golf’s Cameron Smith absent. That means the likes of World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay, Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homa play too.
Another player in excellent form of late has been Tommy Fleetwood, who currently ranks 20th in the world. The 32-year-old came agonisingly close to his first PGA Tour win two weeks ago in the RBC Canadian Open. However, he eventually lost to Nick Taylor's incredible 72-foot putt in a playoff. Still, Fleetwood followed that performance up with successive 63s in the final two rounds of the US Open to finish tied for fifth, and he will be eager to continue that momentum.
One of the players Fleetwood shared that position with in Los Angeles was Rickie Fowler, who had gone into the final round tied for the lead. Despite missing out on his maiden Major title, though, it was generally another impressive display in an encouraging year for the American, and he will take plenty of optimism into this week’s event.
