Highlands.
“We’re grateful to be hosting the Travelers Championship this
week and pleased that our fans will have the opportunity to watch
the tournament’s best player field yet, including 9 of the top 10
golfers in the world,” said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer at Travelers. “This tournament, though, is about
so much more than great golf. We’re proud of what it does for
hundreds of worthy causes across the region. And because of the
generosity of the tournament’s corporate sponsors, this year will
be no different. We’ll continue the tradition of contributing to
charities, including those dedicated to COVID-19 relief efforts and
advancing racial equality. We would like to thank everyone for
making this year’s tournament possible and for enabling all the
good that it does for our communities.”
Since 2007, when Travelers became title sponsor, the event has
generated nearly $20 million for more than 750 nonprofits
throughout New England, including more than $2.1 million for 150
charities in 2019.
“Our fans may not be on the course alongside the players this
year, but this tournament has a special way of creating excitement
and bringing people together no matter where they are,” said Andy
Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer
at Travelers. “We’re thrilled that the tournament will be one of
the first live sporting events since March, and with so many of the
top PGA TOUR players competing, we can’t wait to see who takes home
the trophy on Sunday.”
