The Travelers Championship is the largest sporting event in Connecticut, having survived several sponsor changes, including a bridge plan of local corporations to keep the PGA Tour event alive in 2004.
Travelers, which has been involved the tournament since it began in 1952 as the Insurance City Open, saved the event again when it became title sponsor in 2007 as the tour started a new FedEx Cup series. The Travelers Championship was one of 38 tournaments leading to the first three-event playoffs and Tour Championship. Travelers and the Greater Hartford Jaycees began talks in the fall of 2005 after Buick informed them it wouldn't be a major sponsor after the third Buick Championship.
Travellers Championship first three decades was played at Wethersfield Country Club. In 1984, after the PGA Tour bought and redesigned Edgewood Country Club, the event moved to the new TPC of Connecticut in Cromwell. In 1991, the course was substantially redesigned with a completely new back nine holes and renamed the TPC at River Highlands.
TPC River Highlands
TPC River Highlands, a par 70, 6,844 yard course in Cromwell, Connecticut, 10 miles south of Hartford. The course is a well-balanced golf test with a mixture of long and short holes. The most notable stretch is Nos. 15-17 which play around a four-acre lake. When you include the home hole, the four-hole collection is, according to Stewart Cink, "four of the most exciting finishing holes in a group anywhere in the world."
