Travelers Championship

[Traveler]

Hi -- I live in Connecticut and have the interesting job of managing Travelers' sponsorship of the Travelers Championship coming this June. I haven't paid much attention to golf until now, so I'm learning fast. Today we announced that Zach Johnson has committed to play our tournament, so it'll be nice to have one more Masters champion in the player field. Since this will be the inaugural year of the Travelers Championship, after 55 years as a PGA TOUR stop in CT, we definitely want to hear from fans on what they like or don't like so we can make it the best tournament possible. So let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Thanks!

You forgot Phil......He's on board according to the Hartford paper.

Just so you get the best possible treatment here, everyone should know you are also my youngest sister.

This reeks of spam. Goodbye.....younger sister?



Welcome aboard, 'lil Sling!

Outstanding that the PGA is having a tourney up in CT again.

Is there a website for it yet?

Cheers,

again?

It's been here for nearly 60 years.
It began life as the Insurance city open
Then it became the Greater Hartford Open
Then Buick took it for about 6 years and now Travelers has it.

It was played at the wethersfield country club for eons and is now at River Highlands TPC.

I suppose I was thinking of the Greater Hartford, but it never dawned on me that it was an obvious name change.

Fine, I'm not interested then.

PS...thanks for the link, Slinger...

Free passes, airfare and lodging would be great.

Just kidding, welcome.
