With the customary PGA Tour tournament entry deadline passed, the field for the 2023 Travelers Championship has been established.
The best players in the game won’t take a rest after the hardest test of the year. The PGA Tour will go to Cromwell, Connecticut, for the 2023 Travelers Championship, after the U.S. Open. The tournament boasts an impressive field of golfers, including top-tier players such as Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler.
The upcoming tournament is poised to be a riveting spectacle, featuring a whopping 156-player field and spanning four days of intense competition. This event marks the 36th installment of the 2022-2023 PGA Tour regular season, promising to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing campaign.
Who are the top players competing at the 2023 Travelers Championship?
In a field packed with golfing icons such as Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, and Viktor Hovland, Scheffler (+650) has emerged as the leader. Last year’s tournament saw Schauffele emerge victorious, clinching the win by a comfortable margin of 2 shots over J.T. Poston.
