Will Zalatoris to play in 2023 Travelers Championship
Will Zalatoris confirmed he will make his Travelers Championship debut in the 2023 tournament at TPC River Highlands. Zalatoris was the 2021 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year and is currently No. 8 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
“We’re excited to have Will as part of our star-studded player field,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “Our fans will really enjoy watching him compete against such a loaded field of the world’s top professional golfers.”
Zalatoris becomes the sixth top-10 player to commit to this year’s tournament. He joins Scottie Scheffler (No. 1 in the OWGR), Rory McIlroy (No. 3), Patrick Cantlay (No. 4), defending champion Xander Schauffele (No. 7) and Justin Thomas (No. 10).
A 26-year-old from Dallas, Zalatoris became a PGA TOUR winner for the first time last year when he won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in a playoff. It capped a 2021-2022 season in which Zalatoris nearly won three major championships: He lost in a playoff at the PGA Championship, tied for second at the U.S. Open and was T6 at the Masters. He also finished second at the Masters and was T8 at the PGA Championship in 2020-2021, a season where Zalatoris earned eight top-10 finishes on his way to being named top rookie by his PGA TOUR peers.
“Will is a tremendously talented young player with several achievements already under his belt and so much potential ahead of him,” said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. “Building relationships with players like Will and our continued investment in making the tournament bigger and better each year has driven our long-term success. This year’s event offering another world-class experience and elite competition will be a reflection of that.”
The 2023 Travelers Championship will be held June 19-25 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, and fans will be welcomed onsite beginning Wednesday, June 21.
