The PGA Tour heads north this week for the third stop on its revised schedule at The Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn. As we’ve seen over the first two events at Colonial and Harbour Town, players are continuing to get in as much golf as possible after a three-month layoff. Nine of the top 10 players in the official world rankings will tee it up at TPC River Highlands in an event that is annually one of the favorite stops on the tour pro’s calendar.
This week will mark the third consecutive event played without fans and the tournament will certainly have a different feel, as the Travelers has traditionally generated large crowds in the course’s amphitheater-like galleries.
