The Travelers Championship, a prestigious event on the PGA Tour, attracts top golfers from around the world. The Travelers Championship has a rich history, with past champions etching their names into golf lore. From Arnold Palmer to Bubba Watson, the tournament has seen remarkable performances and dramatic finishes.
