By TERRY LYONS, Editor of PGA Tour Brunch and Digital Sports Desk
CROMWELL - Tied at 21-under, Scottie Scheffler and Norway’s Viktor Hovland will compete in a sudden death playoff today at 9:00am (EDT) at the 2026 Travelers Championship.
Format: No. 18 (repeated if necessary) (Par 4)
Time: 9 a.m. ET Monday
Playoff records: Scheffler (2-2), Hovland (1-0)
The winner will receive $3.6m
Sixth playoff of season (first since J.T. Poston defeated Ryan Gerard at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday)
26th playoff at the Travelers Championship (first since Scheffler defeated Tom Kim in 2024)
First unscheduled Monday finish since the 2025 PLAYERS Championship
Scottie Scheffler (T1/-21), the World No. 1 and FedExCup leader, is seeking his 21st win in his 164th start at the age of 30 years, 8 days.
Viktor Hovland (T1/-21) is in search of his eighth PGA TOUR title in his 146th start at the age of 28 years, 9 months, 11 days.
Additional Notes from Sunday’s “final” round:
The round of the day was turned in by Collin Morikawa (3rd/-20) with a 9-under 61, equaling his career-low round (2023 TOUR Championship/R1). He was attempting to record the largest come-from-behind victory at the Travelers Championship (current: Brad Faxon/7/2005) and equal the second-largest on the PGA TOUR on record (10/Paul Lawrie/1999 Open Championship, 9/Stewart Cink/2004 RBC Heritage)
Matt Fitzpatrick (4th/-13) finished solo-fourth in bid to become the first player to earn four or more wins in a season since Scottie Scheffler in 2025; brother, Alex, finishes T7
Wyndham Clark finished T5 in bid to become the first player to win on TOUR the week after winning a major since Scottie Scheffler (2024 Masters Tournament, 2024 RBC Heritage)
Corey Conners (T7/-17) picked up his first top-10 finish since the 2025 TOUR Championship (T4)
Patrick Cantlay finished T14, his ninth straight top-15 finish at the Travelers Championship
New England’s favorite son and two-time champion at TPC River Highlands, Keegan Bradley, finished T14 in bid to become the first back-to-back Travelers Championship winner since Phil Mickelson in 2002
