US PGA Tour
TPC River Highlands
Cromwell, Connecticut, USA
24-27 June 2021
Jason Day will be hoping to clinch his maiden Travelers Championship title when he participates in this year's tournament.
The Australian star is a former number one in the World Golf Ranking, having first achieved the ranking in September 2015.
Day, who is currently ranked 71st in the world, won his first and only major tournament at the 2015 PGA Championship, scoring a record 20 strokes under par.
The Beaudesert-born golfer has won 12 trophies on the
PGA Tour including The Players Championship and WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Day, who clinched the 2016 Mark H. McCormack Award, has struggled with injuries over the years that have hampered his performance on the field.
The 33-year-old won the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship after shooting a 2-under 69 on the final day and it remains his last trophy as a professional golfer.
Nicknamed Jaydee, Day is will be hoping to end his trophy drought by winning the Travelers Championship and emulate his compatriots Greg Norman and Marc Leishman.

Jaydee withdrew from the recent 2021 Memorial Tournament due to an injury, but he is expected to compete at the Travelers Championship.
“Unfortunately, I’ve had to make the decision to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament with a back injury," Day's statement read.
"While my body has been great recently I tweaked my back on Monday and while we tried to get it right over the last few days ultimately I felt the best decision was not to put it at further risk.
“It’s disappointing to have to miss one of my favorite tournaments of the year but I’m confident it’s nothing major and with some rest and rehab I’ll be back soon. I look forward to returning to Muirfield Village next year and I wish Jack [Nicklaus]and the tournament every success this week.”
Billy Casper is the most decorated player in the history of the Travelers Championship having won four titles in 1963, 1965, 1968 and 1973.
