4th PGA Tour Pro Golfer Withdraws from Travelers Championship Before Final Round
4th PGA Tour Pro Golfer Withdraws from Travelers Championship Before Final Round originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The final round of the Travelers Championship is underway with a stacked leaderboard, including Tommy Fleetwood in contention seeking his first PGA Tour win. One notable player who fired a blistering 6-under-par round on Saturday, catapulting up the leaderboard near the top 10 going into Sunday, has sadly withdrawn shortly after the start of the final round. Advertisement Viktor Hovland withdrew from the Travelers Championship after finishing two holes during Sunday's round, citing a neck injury. Hovland started the day in 14th place, 10 strokes behind leader Tommy Fleetwood, and was paired with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Viktor Hovland tees off during the first round of the Travelers Streicher-Imagn Images The 27 year-old Norwegian became the fourth player to withdraw from the Travelers Championship, joining Jordan Spieth, Si Woo Kim and Eric Cole. Spieth withdrew citing neck pain during the opening round, making it the first time in his career he withdrew from competition. Si Woo Kim withdrew on Friday with a back injury, and Eric Cole withdrew before the start of Sunday's play, citing illness. Following his stellar 2022-2023 season, during which he racked up three PGA tour wins, including the Memorial Tournament, BMW Championship and TOUR Championship, Hovland struggled with some swing changes in 2024 before bouncing back in 2025. Advertisement Hovland just came off his best finish at a U.S. Open, finishing solo third at Oakmont Country Club last week, when he dazzled with his short game around Oakmont's tricky greens. He has seven career PGA Tour wins including two top 10s and one win in 2025 at the Valspar Championship. Hovland sits 20th on the FedExCup points list. Hovland will have another shot at a major championship next month, when he is slated to tee it up at The Open Championship taking place at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland from July 17-20. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

Justin Thomas' artistry leads to Travelers Championship lead
The post Justin Thomas' artistry leads to Travelers Championship lead appeared first on ClutchPoints. The PGA Tour is in Cromwell, CT, this week for the Travelers Championship. It is the seventh and final Signature Event of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Like most Signature Events, this means it is a limited-field, no-cut event. Without a cut, players tend to feel a bit freer while out on the course, and that includes Justin Thomas. Advertisement Thomas has had an up-and-down season thus far. So, this environment at a course he enjoys is just what the doctor ordered. Following an opening round 3-under 67, he fired off a blazing 6-under 64 on Friday. That moved him into a tie with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler atop the leaderboard. Even more impressive were the conditions with which he played. Wind wreaked havoc on the field, with several top-ranked golfers struggling mightily. Wind gusts were clocked at over 30 miles per hour, with steady winds throughout the day. After his round, he was asked if there was an art to playing in the wind. 'Definitely,' Thomas said. Advertisement 'I just think it's control. I think it's why Scottie is so good in the wind. He hits the middle of the club face about every time. That's a huge part of it, distance control. 'The difference of riding the wind and holding the wind can be a 15- or 20-yard difference in the air in these kinds of conditions… If you're trying to hold one and you ride the wind, that's not good for a lot of reasons. I think it's way more art [compared to a science] because you just have to create and kind of feel out there.' 72 players entered the tournament to begin the week. Si Woo Kim and Jordan Spieth have already withdrawn due to injury. Of the 70 players tackling the TPC River Highlands course on Friday, only a handful played under par. The vast majority had a difficult time in the wind. PGA Tour winners like Sepp Straka, Rickie Fowler, Shane Lowry, and Tony Finau all shot around 10 strokes worse than Thomas on Friday. Even the aforementioned Scheffler had a tough time. He finished 1-under for the day, tied with Justin Thomas at 9-under, atop the leaderboard entering the weekend. Advertisement The tw0-time PGA Championship winner is very eager to take on the upcoming challenge. 'I see windy conditions, I just get excited because I know it's just extremely difficult, and a couple under goes a really, really, really long way. I just try to embrace it, and I feel like I do a decent job of that.' Related: Why Jordan Spieth withdrew from first PGA Tour event
