Viktor Hovland withdraws from 2025 Travelers Championship in final round, citing neck injury

Viktor Hovland withdrew from the 2025 Travelers Championship with a neck injury just two holes into his final round Sunday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Hovland appeared to wince in pain after hitting his first tee shot of the day. He made par on No. 1, bogey on No. 2, then called it quits.
The 27-year-old from Norway shot 7-under 63 on Saturday and entered the final round flirting with the top 10. His withdrawal means he likely misses out on a solid chunk of the $20 million purse at the Travelers, which is the PGA Tour's final signature event of 2025.
Hovland is the fourth player to withdraw mid-tournament this week at TPC River Highlands. Jordan Spieth withdrew Thursday, also citing a neck injury, and Si Woo Kim did the same on Friday with a back injury before Eric Cole withdrew due to illness early Sunday morning.
Hovland entered Connecticut fresh off a solo third-place finish in the U.S. Open at Oakmont last week. He's No. 22 in the FedEx Cup standings, having already won on the PGA Tour this season at the Valspar Championship in March.

Travelers Championship purse, payouts: How much did Keegan Bradley earn for his win at TPC River Highlands?

Keegan Bradley pulled off a stunning win at TPC River Highlands on Sunday afternoon, one that could very well put him in a position to be a playing captain at the Ryder Cup this fall. Bradley rallied back from a three-shot deficit and birdied the final hole to secure a win at the Travelers Championship. It marked the eighth win of his career and his first this season on the PGA Tour. Bradley, with his 2-under 68, overtook Tommy Fleetwood — who started the day with a three-shot advantage and only needed to make a par on the 18th to force a playoff. Advertisement As a result, Bradley also earned a $3.6 million check in what was the final signature event of the Tour's season. Most of the Tour's signature events carry a $20 million purse, which is among the most up for grabs anywhere in golf this season. The Players Championship leads the way with a $25 million purse, and the U.S. Open had a $21.5 million purse last week. That sent J.J. Spaun home with a $4.3 million check for his win at Oakmont.
