Field stacked with best

The field for the 2022 Travelers Championship was set on Friday with the tournament boasting four of the top five players in the world, including top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, the tournament announced.
Joining Scheffler in the field are No. 3 Rory Mcilroy, No. 4 Patrick Cantlay, No. 5 Justin Thomas, No. 8 Victor Hovland and No. 9 Sam Burns. Add in No. 12 Xander Schauffele, No. 14 Will Zalatoris, No. 15 Tony Finau, No. 17 Joaquin Niemann and No. 19 Brooks Koepka and the tournament has 11 of the top 20 in the world. Defending champ Harris English will also be arriving at the Tournament Players Club at River Highlands in Cromwell next week, joined by other previous winners, including Chez Reavie, Jordan Spieth, Russell Knox,
Kevin Streelman, Marc Leishman, Stewart Cink and J.J. Henry
The 2022 event will be hardpressed to match the excitement of a year ago when English and Kramer Hickok battled through eight playoff holes before English finally won. Hickok is also back in the field.
With this year’s event comes a return to normalcy with full attendance allowed for the first time in two years and the a annual fan-favorite celebrity pro-am returning to its usual Wednesday spot.
