Young, Cameron To Play In Travelers

CROMWELL—Max Homa and Cameron Young will play in the 2023 Travelers Championship. Homa is a six-time winner on the PGA TOUR who is currently No. 7 in the Official World Golf Ranking, while Young is the reigning PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year and ranked No. 15.

“Max and Cameron give us two more highly ranked players in this year’s field,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “Whether it’s someone who has played in our tournament before, like Max, or a first-timer like Cameron, we want their experience with us to be world class. We feel the same way with our fans and volunteers. It promises to be a great week.”

Homa has two wins and four other top-10 finishes this season. With victories at the Fortinet Championship and at Torrey Pines, in addition to a second-place finish at The Genesis Invitational, a tie for third at Kapalua and a T6 at THE PLAYERS Championship, Homa is in third place in the FedExCup points standings. Homa’s first win on TOUR came in 2019 at the Wells Fargo Championship, a tournament he won again in 2022. He played on the U.S. Presidents Cup team in 2022, going a perfect 4-0 in the Americans’ victory.

Young was named top PGA TOUR rookie last year in large part due to his strong play in the major championships. He finished T3 at the PGA Championship and was second at The Open Championship, one of five runner-up finishes throughout the season. This year, Young finished second in the World Golf Championships – Dell Technologies Match Play and was T7 at the Masters. Young was also a member of the victorious 2022 U.S. Presidents Cup team. This will be his first appearance at TPC River Highlands.

“Max and Cameron have been playing excellent golf and it’s exciting to hear that they’ll be joining us for this year’s tournament,” said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. “We’re the only PGA TOUR event in New England this year, and this competition involving the TOUR’s best players always delivers magical moments and supports hundreds of local charities.”

Homa and Young join a player field that includes Scottie Scheffler (No. 2 in the OWGR), Rory McIlroy (No. 3), Patrick Cantlay (No. 4), defending champion Xander Schauffele (No. 5), Collin Morikawa (No. 13), Justin Thomas (No. 14) and Tony Finau (No. 16).
