Since its inception, and regardless of its name sponsor, the Travelers Championship has been a premiere news media event in Connecticut.
According to several reports, the degree of interest is about to climb exponentially, because the PGA is about the list the Travelers as an “elevated event” along with three other tournaments. The designation means a purse of at least $20 million and a guarantee that the biggest names on the tour will be stopping each summer in Cromwell.
