A preview and stats for this week's US Tour event - the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
Watch all four days of the tournament live on Sky Sports
The leafy fairways of TPC River Highlands welcome the PGA Tour for this week's Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
River Highlands may not be the longest course on the schedule but the tournament is certainly one of the best attended.
Over the years, only the Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale usually attracts more spectators.
It is normally a low-scoring venue and, in 2011, the undulating tree-lined holes of River Highlands witnessed a milestone when Patrick Cantlay became the first amateur and teenager to shoot as low as 60 in a PGA Tour event.
So who's teeing-up?
Zach Johnson: Having a great season, that includes a victory at Colonial and a runner-up finish at Sawgrass.
Hunter Mahan: Two titles before The Masters since when his form has levelled out a bit. However, he has an excellent record at TPC River Highlands where he has enjoyed a victory and two runner-up finishes.
Ryan Moore: Twice a runner-up in Connecticut where his 22 rounds average an excellent 67.45.
Michael Thompson: Fourth on his River Highlands debut last year and a surprise tied second place in last week's US Open over the immensely difficult Olympic course.
Bo Van Pelt: The consistent American has posted top-25 finishes in five of his last seven visits to River Highlands.
Bubba Watson: After enjoying an emotional victory at Augusta National in April, Watson has seemingly taken his foot off the pedal. Maybe a return to Connecticut, where he won in 2010, will re-ignite his competitive juices.
