Summary
An 8-foot par putt by Scottie Scheffler on the 18th hole tied Viktor Hovland at 21-under, sending the Travelers Championship to a two-man playoff at 9 a.m. ET Monday.
An 83-minute rain delay hit with the leaders on the 14th hole, and Hovland used the restart to reset after four bogeys in his first 10 holes, then birdied Nos. 14 and 15 during a three-birdie burst.
Scheffler shot 68 and stayed alive with four par saves from 7 to 9 feet, including the final putt after scrambling for pars on 14 and 15 in wet, darkening conditions.
Collin Morikawa closed with a 61 to finish third at 20-under, one shot ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick, while Wyndham Clark and Akshay Bhatia tied for fifth at 18-under.
The playoff caps a high-profile week for the PGA Tour and its final Signature Event, with Travelers strengthening its case to remain a marquee stop under the tour's planned 2028 two-tier model.
