Right after the action at Torrey Pines, where the 2021 US Open was held, the PGA TOUR will head straight to Cromwell, Connecticut for another edition of the Travelers Championship. Those who didn’t end up with the top prizes in the US Open will have a chance of bouncing back here, as this event still promises a hearty amount of total prize. Last year, Dustin Johnson ruled the competition in Cromwell. Who’s it going to be this time around in the 2021 Travelers Championship? This event traces its roots all the way back to 1952, which is 69 years ago. It has a nice history indeed, not to mention a very lucrative one.
