The final signature event of the PGA Tour season has taken the best players to TPC River Highlands for the annual stop in Connecticut for the 2025 Travelers Championship. It is one of players’ favorite weeks on the schedule as low scores are always on the menu at the Travelers given there are birdies abound at the course.
Being the final signature event on the calendar, it’s the last chance to bank big money and big points before the FedEx Cup Playoffs — aside from next month’s Open Championship. The winner this week will receive $3.6 million, while each of the top 11 finishers will make at least $500,000.
Those are big paychecks, but it’s not just about padding the bank accounts for players this week. It’s also important money for those battling for position on the United States Ryder Cup team.
Ryder Cup points are based on the money list with 1 point awarded per $1,000 earned in PGA Tour events. That means the winner this week could take home 3,600 Ryder Cup points, which could be the difference in being an automatic qualifier in the top 6 or having to sweat out a captain’s pick from Keegan Bradley.
Here is the full breakdown of the payouts from the $20 million purse up for grabs this week at the Travelers.
