The Travelers championship does not need help to call on golf fans in June.
It is already the most popular PGA Tour event of the year, behind only the waste management open in Scottsdale.

But some stars, of course, are missing.
Some of the biggest names in sport (Jon Rahm, Bryson Dechambeau, Brooks Koepka) are, of course, inadmissible to travelers, part of the Liv golf.
But, while Liv and the PGA continue to work on their offer (two years in preparation), travelers would welcome those who defected open arms, if and when it happens.
“I have been doing this for 20 years, I have known guys. It’s personal for us,” said director of the traveler championship Nathan Grube in an interview with PK Press Club Digital. We have seen all the guys liv in Augusta, and we love these guys. It’s personal for us. I have no control over the moment when the guys are back, but we make sure that when it happens, we know they will want to come here and play. I have no idea what will happen, but we love guys, we invest in them, we get to know them. I wish them the best, and I would like to see them here. “”

Since the Northern Trust no longer exists, however, a lot in New Jersey and New York do not have a more local option, and Grobe and his team jumped at the opportunity to make their tournament one of the best on tour (while claiming New England as a target audience).
“We have made media events with different groups of people. We are going there, we have sponsors. I have members of the board of directors in the three-state region. We make media shopping, the players have helped. We are families in New England, right? And we adopt this, we are trying to shoot more and more from the New England region.”

Scheffler can agree.
“It’s a week when players, our families and our caddies are treated as well as we do all year round. If you ask a shopping cart what is their favorite event, I think they say the traveler championship,” said Schefflersaid during the media day of the tournament this week.
