How much prize money does the winner get at the 2023 Travelers Championship?

The PGA Tour hosts the Travelers Championship, a prestigious golf tournament annually at the TPC River Highlands golf course in Cromwell, Connecticut. The tournament has a rich history dating back to 1952 and has undergone several sponsorship name changes, most recently becoming the Travelers Championship in 2007. The event draws the world’s top golfers who compete for the coveted championship title and traditionally substantial financial prize. The event is considered the second-most attended PGA Tour event each year, with only the Waste Management Phoenix Open surpassing it in attendance.

The competition is renowned for its thrilling and demanding course, and its distinct finishing stretch often leads to exciting conclusions. While the Travelers Championship usually attracts a solid field, it is expected to be the best field the tournament has ever had since it is a designated event in 2023.

Despite the cross-country travel from Los Angeles Country Club and the U.S. Open to Cromwell, Connecticut, the event promises to be top-notch. Xander Schauffele, who performed well at the U.S. Open, is set to defend his title, while other top names in the field include Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, and U.S. Open Champion Wyndham Clark.
