Jacksonville Beach, USA - The recent Travelers Championship has stirred excitement across the golfing world, showcasing the incredible talent and competitive spirit that defines the PGA Tour. The event, held in Connecticut, followed the U.S. Open and played host to a thrilling finale that saw Keegan Bradley clinch victory with a remarkable one-shot comeback. This win wasn’t just about the trophy; it secured him a hefty prize of $3.6 million, boosting his season earnings to over $7 million, as noted by SI.

The Travelers Championship is noteworthy not only for its intense competition but also for being a no-cut event, ensuring every player in the 72-man field walks away with a payout. Even the last-place finisher took home $36,000, which really shows the allure of this tournament. Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley both tied for second place, each pocketing a cool $1.76 million, while Harris English and Jason Day shared fourth, receiving $880,000 each.

Top Players and Earnings

After the dust settled at TPC River Highlands, the PGA Tour money list saw only minor changes. Palm Beach Post reported that Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy remain the top earners, with $15,869,483 and $14,916,410, respectively. A standout moment came from J.J. Spaun, who moved into the exclusive $10 million club, finishing just behind the top two with $10,004,182. He showcased his skills with a final round of 63, which propelled him from a tie for 46th to a much better tie for 14th, earning him $360,000.

Keegan Bradley’s remarkable performance at the Travelers has significantly changed the rankings. He surged up to eighth place in the overall money standings, now sitting at $7,043,794.

Upcoming Challenges

Looking ahead, both Scheffler and McIlroy are expected to take a break from the tour, opting out of the upcoming Rocket Classic and John Deere Classic. They plan to regroup and prepare for the challenges at the Scottish Open and British Open later in July. McIlroy shot a solid 65 to tie for sixth alongside Scheffler in the final round, but couldn’t close the gap on his rival, leaving fans eager for their next showdown.
