The PGA Tour presents its final signature event of the season on the heels of a thrilling U.S. Open

A busy, three-week stretch on the PGA Tour comes to an end this week as players make their way from North Carolina to Connecticut for the 2024 Travelers Championship. The second of two signature events to sandwich the third major championship of the year, the Travelers Championship will welcome at field of 71 players to TPC River Highlands.

Notably absent is Rory McIlroy, who fresh off his agonizing defeat at the U.S. Open has decided to take some time away from the game before his defense at the Scottish Open in three weeks. McIlroy's omission will leave the door open for others to possibly claim the title with the elephant in the room still being world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler experienced his worst result of the season at last week's U.S. Open carding only four birdies across four rounds and was unable to break par once. He should return to his usual self this week as he performed well last year en route to a top-10 finish and seeks his sixth victory of the season.
