The traveler championship does not need help to attract golf fans in June.
It is already the second PGA Tour event of the year, only behind the Waste Management Open in Scottsdale.
The tournament itself is also a success. Last year, Scottie Scheffler defeated Tom Kim in a playoff. And, with the lack of a tournament in the Tri-State area, fans of numerous states go to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. For experience.

But some stars, of course, are missing.
Some of the most important names of sport (Jon Rahm, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka) are not eligible for travelers, being part of the LIV golf.
But, while Liv and the PGA continue to work on their treatment (two years in process), travelers would welcome those who deserted with open arms, if it happens and when it happens.
“I have been doing this for 20 years, I know the boys. These are personal for us,” said Nathan Gruble Travelers Championship in an interview with Pak Gazette Digital. We saw all the LIV boys in Augusta, and we love those guys. It is personal for us. I have no control over when the boys will return, but we are making sure that when that happens, we know they will want to come here and play. I have no idea what will happen, but we love the boys, we invest in them, we know them. I wish you the best, and I would love to see them here. “

However, since the Northern Trust does not exist, many in New Jersey and New York do not have a more local option, and Grube and their team have taken the opportunity to make the assistance of their tournament one of the best on the tour (still claiming New England as their target audience).
“We have held media events with different groups of people. We are there, we have sponsors. I have members of the Board in the Tri-State area. We make media purchases, the players have helped us. We are the New England event, right? And we accept it, we try to be aware of that, and we try to ensure that families understand that they can spend the day with us.

Scheffler may agree.
“It’s a week in which players, our families and our caddies are treated as well as we all year. If you ask any Caddy on Tour what is their favorite event, I think the traveler championship would say,” Schefflersaid on the day of the tournament media this week.
