The Travelers Championship returns to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, from June 22–28, bringing one of the PGA Tour’s most closely watched summer events back to New England.
The tournament has taken on a larger place on the PGA Tour calendar in recent years. For the fourth straight year, it will be played as a Signature Event, a designation reserved for select tournaments with smaller fields, elevated prize money, and many of the tour’s top players. The 2026 edition is also the final Signature Event of the season, with 72 players expected to compete at TPC River Highlands.
Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, and defending champion Keegan Bradley are among the players expected to compete, bringing several of golf’s most recognizable names to Cromwell, along with a New England favorite returning after last year’s dramatic finish.

The format also works well for fans attending in person. Unlike many PGA Tour events, the Travelers Championship will not have a 36-hole cut, meaning the full field competes across all four rounds. That gives spectators a better chance to see the players they came for, whether they attend earlier in the tournament or follow the final rounds over the weekend.
TPC River Highlands has long been central to the tournament’s reputation. The Cromwell course plays as a par 70 at 6,844 yards, making it relatively compact by PGA Tour standards, but its closing stretch has produced some of the event’s most memorable finishes. In 2025, Bradley birdied the final hole to win by one stroke, becoming just the eighth player to capture the tournament more than once.
The tournament also holds a distinct place on the PGA Tour calendar as the only annual PGA Tour stop in the Northeast. That gives the event a broad regional draw across Connecticut, New England, New York, and the wider Northeast corridor, especially for spectators looking to see major professional golf without traveling to one of the sport’s major championships.
For those attending in person, the tournament offers grounds access, reserved seating, hospitality options, and several admission programs. Ticket options include premium hospitality venues such as the Champions Club and Mohegan Sun Terrace, while grounds passes include access to fan areas, concessions, open-air and climate-controlled venues, the Event Lawn, and the Stanley Black & Decker Fan Zone. General parking is included with each ticket on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beyond the competition, the Travelers Championship remains closely tied to its charitable role in Connecticut. The tournament generated more than $4 million for 245 charities in 2025, and since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, it has raised more than $35 million for more than 1,000 local charities.
The 2026 Travelers Championship remains one of Connecticut’s signature sports weeks, pairing PGA Tour competition with a regional presence that extends well beyond the course.
