Travelers Companies Inc. Kicks Off the 2026 Travelers Championship

The 2026 tournament is set to feature nearly all of the top 50 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, ensuring a competitive and thrilling experience for fans. Notable participants include world number one Scottie Scheffler, along with Cameron Young (No. 3), Matt Fitzpatrick (No. 4), Russell Henley (No. 5), Justin Rose (No. 6), Tommy Fleetwood (No. 7), Wyndham Clark (No. 8), Collin Morikawa (No. 9), and the defending champion, Keegan Bradley.

Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and CEO of Travelers, emphasized the dual role of the Travelers Championship as both a premier golf event and a catalyst for community support. “The Travelers Championship is a world-class golf tournament with a powerful local impact,” he stated. Since Travelers became the title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for over 1,000 local and regional charities. Last year alone, the event distributed more than $4 million to nearly 250 charities, setting new records for the tournament.

This year, the primary beneficiary of the tournament is the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, located in Ashford, Connecticut. This organization provides children with serious illnesses the opportunity to experience a traditional summer camp. Additionally, numerous other nonprofits will benefit from the Travelers Championship’s Birdies for Charity program, which supports various sectors including arts and culture, education, food insecurity, healthcare, housing, human services, mental health, and science and technology.

Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Travelers, commented on the community spirit surrounding the tournament. “There is an energy at the Travelers Championship that you cannot find anywhere else,” he said. “This tournament has become part of the fabric of Connecticut, and the more it grows, the more money we can generate for important causes across the region.”

The 2026 Travelers Championship will feature a substantial purse of $20 million, with 72 players vying for victory over four rounds starting Thursday, June 25. Ticketed spectators can attend the event beginning Wednesday, June 24.
