It’s tough to look past this week’s U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, but next up on the PGA Tour schedule is a trip to New England.
A loaded field is headed to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, for the 2023 Travelers Championship.
This designated event is set to host defending champion Xander Schauffele — who used a final-round 62 to win last year — Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland.
Scheffler tied for 13th in 2022, while McIlroy finished T-19.
Jordan Spieth, the 10th-ranked golfer in the Official World Golf Ranking and 2017 Travelers winner, is not in the field. Tour members are allowed to skip one designated event this season. The players will battle for a $20 million purse.
Here is the full field for the Travelers Championship in the Constitution State.
Xander Schauffele, who recorded a record-tying 62 in the first round of the U.S. Open, will defend his title at next week’s Travelers Championship.
