Golf that gives back – making a difference every year
Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for nonprofits throughout New England, along with millions more in economic activity for Connecticut. All net proceeds from the event go to charity – meaning every ticket, souvenir and snack purchased, every clutch shot and every volunteer hour helps fund essential programs for people in need.
This larger mission is what connects the tournament so closely to our company’s culture. Travelers employees are highly engaged, contributing thousands of volunteer hours and making up nearly half the tournament’s volunteer force.
The spirit of generosity and engagement surrounding the Travelers Championship makes it more than a sporting event – it’s an inspirational week where world-class golf meets real-world impact. This sense of shared purpose has touched thousands of lives across New England by supporting education, healthcare, housing and more. And everyone – fans, golfers, volunteers and staff – plays a role in making it happen.

One mile to greatness
The Travelers Championship is often considered one of the top events on the PGA TOUR because the tournament generates excitement from the first drive to the final putt. But the closing stretch is when legends are made. Keegan Bradley's dramatic come-from-behind victory (2025), Scottie Scheffler's sudden-death triumph (2024), Harris English's eight-hole playoff win (2021), and Jordan Spieth’s walk-off bunker shot (2017) are some of the most talked-about moments in PGA TOUR history.
Holes 15–18 demand composure and precision, with water-lined fairways, bold approaches and greens that can flip the leaderboard in an instant. This nearly one-mile journey is where momentum shifts, heroes emerge and legacies are secured.
