The 2024 Travelers Championship, a prestigious PGA TOUR Signature Event, has once again demonstrated its commitment to giving back to the community. This year, the tournament generated a record-breaking sum, exceeding $3.2 million for over 170 nonprofit organizations across the region. This remarkable achievement elevates the total charitable contributions to over $30 million since Travelers assumed the title sponsorship in 2007, solidifying its legacy of philanthropy alongside world-class golf.
“The 2024 Travelers Championship was truly historic,” stated Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Travelers. “We witnessed exceptional golf with the world’s top players competing before incredibly enthusiastic fans. Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler, our 2024 champion, for his outstanding victory. This week’s success extended beyond the green, encompassing the energy of the fans and the unprecedented charitable impact. We eagerly anticipate building on this success next year.”
A cornerstone of the Travelers Championship is its dedication to donating 100% of net proceeds to local charities. The primary beneficiary for 2024 was The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a Connecticut-based nonprofit in Ashford. This organization provides transformative camp experiences and lasting friendships for children grappling with serious illnesses. Beyond the primary beneficiary, the Travelers Championship serves as a vital fundraising platform for a diverse array of nonprofits. These organizations span critical sectors including arts and culture, education, healthcare, housing, human services, mental health support, food security initiatives, science and technology advancements, and youth development programs.
“The exceptional level of competition at the 2024 Travelers Championship will have a profound and positive impact on our community,” commented Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. “The unwavering support from volunteers, fans, the state of Connecticut, the PGA TOUR, and the world’s best golfers has propelled this event to unprecedented levels. We are committed to further enhancing the tournament’s impact, ensuring continued significant contributions to hundreds of charities throughout the Northeast.”
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the 2025 Travelers Championship, scheduled for June 16-22 at the familiar grounds of TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. This upcoming tournament will mark Travelers’ 19th consecutive year as title sponsor, a testament to their enduring commitment and making them the longest continuous title sponsor since the tournament’s inception in 1952.
