PGA Tour Leaderboard: Travelers Championship 2015 Preview, Tee Times and Predictions

With the nightmare that was Chambers Bay behind them, PGA Tour members turn to the 2015 Travelers Championship on Thursday. The event being held from June 25-28 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut holds a $6.4 million purse, with the winner earning a $1.152 million share.

Absent of big-name stars the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, the event welcomes Bubba Watson, Brandt Snedeker and Sergio Garcia instead.

What They're Saying

Branden Grace (via PGA Tour): "I think it's going to be tough. You just need to plan it well and come over here [to the United States]. I might come over here full-time next year and play a whole full season and see what it's like and just go back [to Europe] for the bigger ones. That's just all in the mind that I'm thinking of now."

Billy Horschel (via PGA Tour): "There are a couple regrets I had [at the U.S. Open]. The actions I showed on the sixth green weren't acceptable. I've done really well since 2011 at McGladrey with my emotions and controlling them and growing up and being mature. When I walked off the golf course, I had a sickening feeling for what I showed on the sixth green."

Prediction

No one has more top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season than Snedeker. He has never finished in the top 10 at the Travelers Championship, however, but is carrying proper form into the event following a solo eighth at the U.S. Open.
