3 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, June 19, 2020 By Breanna Henry TV Media T he Travelers Champion- ship, held yearly at TPC River Highlands in Crom- well, Connecticut, will be a TV- only event for the first time since its inaugural tee-off in 1952, and you can watch Round 3 of the tournament when it airs Saturday, June 27, on CBS. The coronavirus pandemic has been the cause of schedul- ing issues for golfing events, both on and off the PGA Tour, forcing some events to be can- celed entirely, such as the Heri- tage and the Open Champion- ship. Others have been either postponed, as the Olympic men's tournament has, or are set to play without crowds, much like the Travelers. The what, where and ever-chang- ing when can be difficult to keep track of, but golfchannel. com has a great list of upcom- ing events for the entire PGA Tour that may come in handy for golf fans. In 2019, the Travelers tour- nament was taken by William Chesney "Chez" Reavie, a Kan- sas native who golfed for Ari- zona State University and earned his PGA Tour card in 2007. When he sealed his four- stroke victory over Keegan Bradley and Zack Sucher, he ended a win drought of 11 years, as he had not earned a winner's purse since he took the Canadian Open in his rook- ie year back in 2008. The 2020 championship will be a chal- lenge for the defender, as the Official World Golf Ranking's No. 1 (Rory McIlroy), No. 3 (Brooks Koepka), No. 4 (Justin Thomas) and the two players tied for No. 7 (Patrick Cantlay and Patrick Reed) have all committed to the event. Before 2007, Travelers was known as the Buick Champi- onship. Before that, it was the Greater Hartford Open, and the tournament began as the Insurance City Open. From 1952 to 1992, no one was able to beat America on this course; it wasn't until 1993, when for- mer Rhodesian Air Force pilot Nick Price beat runners-up Dan Forsman and Roger Maltbie by a single stroke, that a non- American won the Travelers Championship (then called the Greater Hartford Open). The Zimbabwean went on to win both the PGA and Open Cham- pionships, earn OWGR's No. 1 spot and take his place in the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2003. Other Travelers winners include Arnold Palmer (1956, 1960), Phil Mickelson (2001, 2002) and four-time tourna- ment winner Billy Casper (1963, 1965, 1968, 1973). Travelers has a rich history of firsts. In 1955, Bill Whedon, an amateur, became the first play- er in PGA history to get a hole- in-one twice in a single round. At the 1967 tournament, PGA's first African-American golfer, the legendary Charlie Sifford, also became the first black PGA winner when he took the title. Suzy Whaley competed in the tournament in 2003, the first woman on the PGA Tour in nearly 60 years. President Ger- ald Ford called the 1974 win- ner Dave Stockton personally, and moments later, Stockton donated the entirety of his champion's purse to charity. The Travelers Championship is the reigning Players Choice Award winner, and the second most-attended event on the PGA Tour; this year, the tourna- ment that holds the PGA's at- tendance record (reaching 400,000 for the week in 2002), will likely feel a bit lonely for the players.

You're already on the couch all day watching Netflix and eating beefaroni out of a can. Hey, it's COVID-420 somewhere! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Actually, I hope you had a weekend, because that means you can differentiate the days of the week. Jimmy Kimmel Live There's a new thing they're doing called "isolation proms" where all the kids will get dressed up and they'll dance over video chat. I guess it's better than nothing. When I was in high school, I had an "isolation prom," too. Everyone else went to the prom; I stayed home and played my clarinet. late laughs Rich History: Travelers Championship airs live on CBS sportszone screenscramble Unscramble the letters for each word to reveal five movies and TV shows.
