Spieth won 2 years ago. Bubba won last yearSpieth isn't coming back? I thought after his win last year he said "I cant wait till next year" Same with Rory I thought he said he was coming back since Saturday and Sunday he played awesome.

This is the worst week they could have picked. As usual the PGA Tour does Hartford no favors.
And what's with Tiger? - Hartford had the second African American winner in tour history, first in the north and for years Hartford had the only African American title sponsor on the tour -The Sammy Davis Junior - Greater Hartford Open. Yet Tiger has conscious skipped the place with probably the deepest African American history for his entire career.

Not sure why you say the PGA Tour did Hartford no favors. The Travelers has been played the week after the US Open since 2007. Some would say that the tournament was saved when Travelers stepped in as lead sponsor and the tournament week was set in stone as the week after the US Open. It is so much easier to plan and run a golf tournament when your time slot is set in stone. Before 2007, the Travelers (and previous names) were a nomad tournament playing at random times each year which was negatively impacting the tournament:This is the worst week they could have picked.

That would be tournament director Nathan Grube.FIGJAM .....hitting BOMBS in The Well.
Amazing field this year when many thought getting top players would be a challenge because the us open is at pebble. These guys must all be planning on making a quick pit stop before heading across the pond.
Whoever is responsible for attracting players at the travelers is doing an incredible job!!!

I distinctly remember when he came aboard, I saw him as just another BS pusher. Turns out he was the real deal, style and substance. He turned the week after the US Open into a desirable spot. I didn't think it could be done.That would be tournament director Nathan Grube.
Not sure all of that is the furthest thing from Tiger’s mind when setting his schedule but it’s probably close.This is the worst week they could have picked. As usual the PGA Tour does Hartford no favors.

But it's not that easy. You don't usually see big scores for four days running, it seems to toughen up as they go.Part of the reason this tournament has seen so much success is that the easier course is a great change of pace for players just coming off arguably the toughest tournament of the year. Also the purse has steadily increased each year.
No doubt, but the travelers is without question a tournament where golfers need to score to win, whereas the US Open typically is more about grinding out each hole and avoiding big numbers.But it's not that easy.

Hole 15 is easily my favorite to watch. Love the drivable par 4, high risk high reward. Making par must feel like dropping a shot.Only 2 par 5's keeps things in line relative to par, and the front 9 is tough to score on. In good conditions the course can be overpowered
hitting it into the water/ right woods must be so deflating. Golfers who lay up should have a relatively good chance at birdie, so I disagree that it's a tough par, but completely agree that taking in everyone's strategy is funI love the 15th hole. I sat there for two hours once just taking in everyone's strategy. I think I only caught one eagle. I saw many just missing getting on the green and ending up with really tough lies, lucky making par.
