This week, the PGA TOUR heads to Cromwell, Connecticut, for the Travelers Championship. This will be another Designated event, meaning the field is full of the world’s best players yet again. As it stands, 37 of the top 50 golfers in the world will be teeing it up this week. Leading the favorites is world No.1 Scottie Scheffler. He posted yet another top-five finish at the U.S. Open last week, where he finished in solo third. Scheffler is yet to finish worse than T12 in any TOUR event since October. FedExCup leader Jon Rahm will also be in the field this week. He finished T10 at the U.S. Open with a closing 65 and has won four events, including the Masters, this year. Rory McIlroy will also be optimistic entering the week. Starting at the PGA Championship, McIlroy has recorded four consecutive top-five finishes. Also, McIlroy is no stranger to TPC River Highlands, where he’s finished inside the top-20 in each of his four trips. Defending champion Xander Schauffele will also be returning to Connecticut. He’s only finished outside the top 20 once in his last nine events, including three top-five finishes, and he played well for a T10 finish at the U.S. Open. Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, Patrick Cantlay and Rickie Fowler will also be contending for a win in Connecticut this week.

Still can’t make a putt
he was such a class act to Mike Block when he made his ace this year at PGA Champs. this is KARMA
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
Nice to see him happy for a change hahaha
En ese momento que hace hoyo en uno lo observaba por tv y dije va hoyo en uno genial.
Can’t believe it’s only his first. Congratulations Rory.
Played the course last year. Pared that hole from a terrible tee shot that landed left near the fence line. Had a nice chip on and nailed the putt. You can see it all on our channel!
CONGRATULATIONS, RORY, ON YOUR FIRST CAREER HOLE-IN-ONE!!!!!!!!!!
I missed the ace because the commentator said, "Look at the people out there."😂
He's still a loser……
Boss
Now he can stop crying like a little girl
U gonna choke for the 4th tournament in a row WOKEY ?
200 yd par 3 ace. Nice.
It's a shame because Rory was so disrespectful to Michael Block, Rory's playing partner, during Round 4 of the PGA Championship, when Michael aced a hole.
What? Because it's Round 1 of the "Travelers" (even LIV Bedminster has more clout), Rory can have fun with his ace? And only HIS ace?
Double standard!
His putting has cost him many many victories, he has way too many boogies for a top Golfer.
Rory McIlroy is the Mark Zuckerberg of golf.
Is that the first ace in PIF Tour history?
That's gotta be the highest flighted 5 iron in the history of golf. I heard them say 218 yards and I thought it must have been a smashed 7. The fact that he got a 5i that high is absurd.
Great!
218 yard accurate 5 iron, damn that speed is crazy.
A thing of beauty Rory at his best laser precision
AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY
He the man always at the top
スーパースターやね！かっこE！
