PGA TOUR Previews 72-Player Travelers Championship as Final No-Cut Signature Event

Summary
The Travelers Championship opens as the PGA TOUR’s last Signature Event of the season, with all 72 entrants guaranteed four rounds and FedExCup points at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
TPC River Highlands, a 6,844-yard par 70, shifts the test sharply from the U.S. Open: it was the easiest par 70 in 2024, and last year’s field still averaged 69.238 despite gusty second-round winds.
Accuracy and approach play should matter more than power because the course deemphasizes drivers, features 4.5-inch rough and small 5,000-square-foot greens that can punish missed targets.
Calmer weather than usual could turn the week into a shootout, with only modest wind expected Friday and Saturday, limited thunderstorm risk and Sunday forecast to be even better than the opener.
The event is the final reminder of the value of finishing inside the previous season’s FedExCup top 50 before the summer push for this year’s FedExCup Playoffs intensifies.
