We owe a great deal of thanks to the many tournament sponsors who pledged their support, the small but mighty corps of mission-critical volunteers who came out and the fans who made a difference from a distance. Congratulations to our 2020 Travelers Championship winner, Dustin Johnson. Against the best player field we’ve ever had, Dustin put on an impressive show.
