Travelers Championship 2025 LIVE: Tee times, leaderboard, prize money and how to follow McIlroy and Scheffler

The US Open at Oakmont turned into a bruising experience for all of the world’s best.

In the end, it was JJ Spaun who managed his way around one of the toughest courses in the world to claim victory, winning it with a spectacular putt on the 18th hole to deny Scotland’s Bob MacIntyre.

He was the only player to finish under par, showing just how tough everyone found Oakmont, and he will be competing here as well.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will be looking to bounce back after disappointing weekends.

And both made fine starts in Round 1 with Scheffler topping the leaderboard alongside Austin Eckroat at 8-under with McIlroy in T3, two shots back.

Furious Scottie Scheffler smashes driver on tee box as US Open woes continueTravelers Championship: What has been said?

McIlroy hopes this week’s Travelers will prove less of a grind as the Masters champion looks to get back into the groove ahead of The Open.

“I think the weeks after major championships in these events sometimes when you are in contention and you are trying to win them, it can feel quite difficult to go play the next week,” McIlroy said.

“After a week like I had at Oakmont, where you are not quite in the mix but you might feel you find something in your game, you are excited to come back and play again.

“This is the perfect sort of chaser for what Oakmont was last week, and nice to get out on a golf course where you feel you can make quite a few birdies.”

McIlroy added: “There’s a lot of guys in the field this week where this is their fourth tournament in a row, so they have been put through the wringer the last few weeks.

“This is a welcome set-up where they feel like they can relax a little bit and not have to grind so much for your score.”

World number one Scottie Scheffler added: “I didn’t have my best stuff last week but was still able to get a decent finish.

“I have felt good about my prep work so far this week and I’m excited to get the tournament started.”
