Golf Trivia

Travelers Championship 2025

Captain America Crashes the Party

Well, well, well. Tommy Fleetwood walked into Sunday at TPC River Highlands carrying a three-shot lead and 42 career top-10 PGA Tour finishes. Without a single W to show for it. The most painful stat in golf was about to get even more painful.

Enter Keegan Bradley, New England's adopted son and current U.S. Ryder Cup captain, who decided to remind everyone why home cooking hits different.

The Collapse That Broke Hearts (and the Internet)

Fleetwood started Sunday looking like he'd finally shed his "best player without a PGA Tour win" title. Instead, he gave us a masterclass in how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. After three bogeys in his first four holes, social media went absolutely feral: "Tommy Fleetwood more like Tommy Choke-wood," trolled one user, while another quipped, "Fleetwood runs worse than my 50-year-old tractor".

But here's the kicker – Fleetwood actually recovered and led heading into the final stretch. That's when Bradley decided to channel his inner Captain America.

The Captain's Comeback

Bradley was sitting three shots back with four holes to play. Dead and buried, right? Wrong. The 39-year-old Vermont native uncorked a ridiculous 35-foot birdie bomb on the 15th hole. Earlier, he'd drained a 65-foot putt on the 9th that had the New England crowd chanting "USA! USA!".

With one shot separating them on 18, Bradley stuffed his approach to six feet while Fleetwood came up 50 feet short. Fleetwood three-putted for bogey. Bradley buried the birdie. Game over.

The Wild Stuff You Missed

Scottie's Birthday Nightmare: The world No. 1 celebrated his 29th birthday with a triple bogey on the first hole – his first opening-hole triple in his PGA Tour career. He hadn't made a triple in 300 days.

Russell Henley's Honour Code: Henley called a penalty on himself for a ball that moved "about a dimple" during his backswing. Nobody else saw it, but he took the stroke anyway, calling it a "teaching moment" for his son.

Weather Drama: Sunday's final round was delayed by thunderstorms, forcing a split-tee start.

Cameron Young's Club Sacrifice: Young went full Happy Gilmore, smashing his club in frustration after a missed shot.

The Numbers Game

Bradley pocketed $3.6 million and 700 FedEx Cup points. 

• Keegan was a juicy +4000 pre-tournament.

• Fleetwood was around -200 live late Sunday... before the meltdown.

• Scheffler, the favourite at +300, once again teased greatness—then imploded just enough to miss.

One Stat That Says It All:
Bradley gained +2.4 strokes putting on Sunday, his best final-round with the putter in years. He called it "the best day I’ve had on the greens since college."
