The PGA Tour has currently stopped at Cromwell, Connecticut, for its next phase on the calendar. Some of the world’s best golfers are competing at the Travelers Championship right after playing at the U.S. Open 2021. Dustin Johnson is the defending champion at the event, and here’s everything you need to know about the prize money and winner’s payout at this tournament. 

The Travelers Championship was one of the few tour events that took place after the pandemic hiatus last year. Dustin Johnson reigned supreme and carded a score of 19-under after four rounds at TPC River Highlands

The tournament awarded a $7,400,000 prize purse last year, and the same will repeat in 2021 as well. So the entire field is competing for a shot at the $7.4M prize pool at the 2021 Travelers Championship.
