The Travelers is underrated.
It finds a way to deliver every single year and the fans always show out – even after a rain delay.
In 2024, Scottie Scheffler defeated Tom Kim in a playoff.
In 2025, Keegan Bradley won in electrifying fashion on the final hole over Tommy Fleetwood.
This morning, we were treated to yet another playoff. This time, with Scottie Scheffler going toe to toe with Viktor Hovland. Here’s how we got there yesterday evening:

The Playoff
Scheffler and Hovland were set to play the 18th hole, until one of them won.
It ended on their first attempt.
Hovland made a huge birdie putt, Scheffler would go on to miss his own from about five feet.
Viktorious again!!! This putt put Viktor Hovland back in the winners circle at @TravelersChamp. pic.twitter.com/ElfafbNOPw

That’s the 8th TOUR win for Viktor Hovland in his career, and 12th win overall.
Funny enough, he missed the cut the week before both of his last two wins.
Missed the cut last week at the U.S. Open.
Missed the cut at The Players before winning the 2025 Valspar.
