Travelers Announces the Start of the 2025 Travelers Championship
HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced the start of the 2025 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, the final Signature Event of the PGA TOUR season. This year's tournament marks Travelers' 19th consecutive year as title sponsor, making the company the longest-running title sponsor in the event's history.
The 2025 Travelers Championship features the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking, and 45 of the top 50. Players include Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world and the tournament's defending champion; Rory McIlroy (No. 2); Xander Schauffele (No. 3); Collin Morikawa (No. 4); and Justin Thomas (No. 5).
'When Travelers first became the title sponsor in 2007, our goal was to make a difference in our community,' said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Travelers. 'We are proud to have done that 19 years running, including three years with an elevated status. After all this time, the Travelers Championship is still a labor of love, made possible with the PGA TOUR's support, the best players in golf, corporate sponsors, community partners, the countless Travelers employees who volunteer their time and, most importantly, the fans. We are looking forward to another great week of golf that will benefit charities throughout the region and generate important economic activity.'
Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for hundreds of local and regional charities. In 2024, 206 nonprofit organizations benefited from the more than $3.2 million generated by the event.
This year's primary beneficiary will again be The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, an organization based in Ashford, Connecticut, that provides a traditional summer camp experience for children with serious illnesses. A variety of other charities – focusing on arts and culture, education, health care, housing, human services, mental health, food insecurity, science and technology, and youth development – also benefit from their involvement with the Travelers Championship.
'The longest-running title sponsor in tournament history is not a milestone we take for granted,' said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. 'We are proud to have played a lead role in building this tournament into one of the few Signature Events on the PGA TOUR, and we are grateful to the countless people – Tournament Director Nathan Grube and his staff, our team at Travelers and so many others – who make this event a success year after year. I can't wait to see how the competition unfolds.'
All 72 players in this year's tournament will compete for four rounds, beginning on Thursday, June 19. The Travelers Championship offers a $20 million purse, with $3.6 million going to the winner.
Ticketed spectators will be allowed on-site starting Wednesday, June 18. Tournament-related special events are scheduled throughout the week and include The Umbrella at 15 ½ Challenge on Tuesday, where PGA TOUR players compete in a closest-to-the-pin contest at the 40-foot-wide floating green in the shape of the Travelers red umbrella logo. The winner will earn $10,000 from Travelers for the charity of his choice. The Signature Women's Day Breakfast will be held at TPC River Highlands on Thursday, with Hoda Kotb, award-winning journalist, author and CEO, as the keynote speaker.
Golf Channel will provide live tournament coverage from 3 to 6 p.m. ET Thursday and Friday, and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. ET.

Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D) is largely controlled by institutional shareholders who own 79% of the company
Significantly high institutional ownership implies Dominion Energy's stock price is sensitive to their trading actions 50% of the business is held by the top 16 shareholders Ownership research along with analyst forecasts data help provide a good understanding of opportunities in a stock We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. A look at the shareholders of Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D) can tell us which group is most powerful. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 79% to be precise, is institutions. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. Because institutional owners have a huge pool of resources and liquidity, their investing decisions tend to carry a great deal of weight, especially with individual investors. As a result, a sizeable amount of institutional money invested in a firm is generally viewed as a positive attribute. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of Dominion Energy, beginning with the chart below. View our latest analysis for Dominion Energy Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. We can see that Dominion Energy does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Dominion Energy's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. Since institutional investors own more than half the issued stock, the board will likely have to pay attention to their preferences. We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Dominion Energy. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is The Vanguard Group, Inc. with 11% of shares outstanding. BlackRock, Inc. is the second largest shareholder owning 8.3% of common stock, and State Street Global Advisors, Inc. holds about 5.3% of the company stock. Looking at the shareholder registry, we can see that 50% of the ownership is controlled by the top 16 shareholders, meaning that no single shareholder has a majority interest in the ownership. While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future. While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Dominion Energy, Inc. in their own names. It is a very large company, so it would be surprising to see insiders own a large proportion of the company. Though their holding amounts to less than 1%, we can see that board members collectively own US$52m worth of shares (at current prices). It is always good to see at least some insider ownership, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 21% stake in Dominion Energy. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Dominion Energy better, we need to consider many other factors. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for Dominion Energy that you should be aware of. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.
