Three of world’s best golfers– all Ryder Cup winners– commit to Travelers Championship

The Travelers Championship added three of golf’s top players on Wednesday, as Matt Fitzpatrick , Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland all committed to play in Cromwell next month. Fitzpatrick has been arguably the best golfer in the game this season, having won a PGA Tour-best three tournaments already– the Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage, and Zurich Classic of New Orleans, alongside his brother Alex. He currently ranks No.

3 in the FedEx Cup standings , behind only Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Young. Aberg, who’s ranked No. 5 in the FedEx Cup standings, has finished in the top 10 in six tournaments so far this year.

Hovland, who’s a seven-time winner on tour, has struggled a bit this season but still ranks No. 30 in the Official World Golf Rankings and finished third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. All three helped Team Europe win the Ryder Cup championship last fall.

“These commitments mean a lot to us – three phenomenal players joining an already outstanding field,” Travelers Executive VP Andy Bessette said in a release. “Matt’s three Tour wins this season speak for themselves – no one has matched that. We first got to know Viktor and Ludvig through sponsor exemptions, and since then, they’ve proven themselves as champions on and off the course.
