While much of the focus at the 2025 Travelers Championship was on Keegan Bradley’s dramatic victory on the 72nd hole, that wasn’t the only headline from TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.

Travlers announced this week that the PGA Tour Signature Event generated a more than $4 million for over 215 nonprofit organizations.

Both of those numbers are record highs.

“This week truly captured what makes the Travelers Championship so special—world-class golf played before an enthusiastic crowd, all united by a shared purpose,” said Travelers chair and CEO Alan Schnitzer.

Each year, The Travelers Championship donates 100% of its net proceeds to nonprofits and charities.

This year’s primary beneficiary is Ashford-based Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which provides a traditional summer experience for children with serious illnesses.

Economic Impact

Other charities and nonprofits that benefit from the Travelers Championship focus on areas including arts and culture, education, health care, housing, human services, mental health, food insecurity, science and technology, and youth development.

“Every year I am inspired by the passion of the players, the dedication of our fans, and the incredible support from volunteers and partners who rally around our mission to give back,” said Schnitzer.

This is Travelers 19th year as title sponsor for the tournament—the longest in its history. In that time, the tournament has generated tens of millions of dollars for charity.

“The Travelers Championship extends far beyond tournament week,” said Travelers executive vice president and chief administrative officer Andy Bessette.

“We are proud that the tournament also generates significant economic activity for the state of Connecticut.”

“We have created a community of fans that spans the region, and it is because of their support that we are able to make such an impact on so many charities, the true winners of the Travelers Championship.”

The tournament is also a major boost for the state economy, bringing an estimated $70 million through things like hospitality, retail, and transportation.

“In addition to supporting vital charitable causes, we are proud that the tournament also generates significant economic activity for the state of Connecticut,” said Schnitzer.

The game’s best golfers will be back at TPC River Highlands June 22-28 for next year’s Travelers Championship.
