The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
the 2024 Travelers Championship – a PGA TOUR Signature Event –
generated a tournament record of more than $3.2 million for more
than 170 nonprofits in the region. This year brings the total
amount generated for charities to more than $30 million since
Travelers became title sponsor in 2007.
“We watched as history was written this past week, with the
world’s best golfers competing in front of the game’s best fans,”
said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at
Travelers. “Congratulations to our 2024 champion, Scottie
Scheffler, on a tremendous performance. This week was marked by
highlights all around, from the action on the course to the tens of
thousands of fans lining the fairways to the record amount
generated for charity, and we cannot wait to do it all again next
year.”
The Travelers Championship donates 100% of its net proceeds to
local charities. This year’s primary beneficiary is The Hole in the
Wall Gang Camp, a nonprofit based in Ashford, Connecticut, that
focuses on creating fun and friendships for children with serious
illnesses. Many other worthy nonprofits – spanning arts and
culture, education, health care, housing, human services, mental
health, food insecurity, science and technology, and youth
development – also use the tournament as a platform to raise funds
and promote their causes.
“The incredible display of world-class competition at this
year’s Travelers Championship will once again have an extraordinary
effect on our community,” said Andy Bessette, Executive Vice
President and Chief Administrative Officer at Travelers. “The
support of the volunteers, the fans, the state of Connecticut, the
PGA TOUR and the game’s top players has helped us take this event
to new heights. We will keep building on what’s been accomplished
so that we can continue to have a meaningful impact on hundreds of
charities across the Northeast.”
The 2025 Travelers Championship is scheduled to take place June
16-22 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. It will mark
the 19th year that Travelers has served as title sponsor, making
the company the longest consecutive title sponsor since the
tournament began in 1952. For more information, visit
