Scottie Scheffler’s snub at Travelers as Rory McIlroy speaks out with £2.7m on the line
The Travelers Championship is well underway as the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Rory Mcilroy look to play their way into form and win the title.
The Travelers Championship is in full swing, bringing with it a fresh wave of golfing drama. Following last weekend’s US Open, which tested many of the sport’s leading figures thanks to the notoriously challenging Oakmont Country Club course, attention has now shifted to TPC River Highlands. Despite US Open champion J.J. Spaun currently finding the going tough in Connecticut, several of the game’s big names appear to be hitting their stride at the event.
Rory McIlroy, still smarting from a difficult outing at Oakmont, has confessed he’s aiming to regain his form at the Travelers. Scottie Scheffler is in the running for the tournament title, although he has expressed his dislike for the course with a strong snub. And while Colin Morikawa has resorted to extreme measures to clinch the PGA competition, Jordan Spieth endured a disappointing first – and final – day. Let’s delve into the latest golf news as the game’s finest look to pocket a tidy £2.7million ($3.6m) prize fund.
Jordan Spieth misses out
Spieth was compelled to withdraw mid-round from the Travelers Championship due to an ongoing neck and upper back injury. Thursday marked the 31-year-old’s first career withdrawal in an impressive 297 PGA Tour starts.
The injury occurred on the range before tee-off, and despite the American star soldiering on for 12 holes, he ultimately had to heed his body’s warning and retire from the day’s play.
Scottie Scheffler’s snub
When discussing his feelings about the TPC River Highlands, where the Travelers Championship is taking place, Scheffler did not hold back.
In response to whether he would welcome a course with less rough along the fairways, the world No. 1, and 2024 Travelers champion, gave a clear answer.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
