TPC Network Turns 40 by John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020
My Account Logout READ THE MAGAZINE MEN’S PRO+ LPGA+ AMATEUR+ COURSE DESIGN+ MORE+ TPC Network Turns 40 By John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020 ith the building of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass four decades ago, then-PGA W Tour commissioner Deane Beman did more than give the Players Championship a permanent home. Quite inadvertently, he also sowed the seeds of a business operation that today consists of 31 golf facilities and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenues for the PGA Tour. Called the TPC Network, it currently comprises private, public and daily-fee courses that serve recreational golfers throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Malaysia. Several of those layouts also act as venues for PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour events, such as TPC River Highlands outside Hartford, Connecticut, the home of the Travelers Championship, and TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, where the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was held last month. This year’s PGA Championship was staged at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California, and the first tournament of the 2020 FedEx Cup playoffs, the Northern Trust, is being played this weekend at TPC Boston. That is an impressive collection. Equally as significant is how that division of the tour is thriving as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Designed largely by Pete and Alice Dye with significant impact from Beman, TPC Sawgrass was the first piece of that portfolio when it opened in the fall of 1980. Many industry observers, including a number of his tour professionals, considered it a risky venture.

(February 27, 2014) – The PGA TOUR, the Greater Hartford Community Foundation and Travelers (NYSE: TRV) announced today a 10-year title sponsorship extension of the Travelers Championship. Travelers became the title sponsor of its hometown tournament in 2007. The announcement was made by Travelers Chairman and CEO Jay Fishman, Travelers Executive Vice President and CAO Andy Bessette, PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, and Tournament Director Nathan Grube, during a morning press conference at the Connecticut Convention Center in downtown Hartford. In addition to the title sponsorship, the PGA TOUR and Travelers have extended their official marketing relationship. Travelers will continue as the “Official Property Casualty Insurance Provider of the PGA TOUR, Web.com and Champions Tour” through 2018. “The Travelers Championship is an important part of the sports history in Connecticut and has presented us a tremendous opportunity to support the community and charities throughout the region,” Fishman said. “Our sponsorship of the Travelers Championship has been a great investment for the community and our business. We are also very pleased to have the opportunity to promote both our commercial and personal property casualty insurance by extending our marketing relationship with the PGA TOUR.” “As a longstanding pillar of the Greater Hartford community, Travelers took the significant step in 2007 to assure this tournament’s future and the continuation of its significant charitable and economic impact,” Finchem said. “Since that time, the tournament has continued to prosper and remain a tremendous asset to the entire region, thanks to the outstanding partnership between the host organization and Travelers.

Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler Commit to 2021 Travelers Championship
CONTACT: Tara Gerber Travelers Championship 860.502.6815 [email protected] TONY FINAU, RICKIE FOWLER COMMIT TO 2021 TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP HARTFORD, Conn., June 9, 2021 – The Travelers Championship today announced that Tony Finau and Rickie Fowler have committed to play in the 2021 tournament. Both players have won on the PGA TOUR and have represented the United States with appearances in the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup. “Tony and Rickie will certainly draw large crowds to TPC River Highlands,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “They’re both familiar with the course, and we’re thrilled that they’re adding the Travelers Championship to their schedules again this year.” Tony Finau won the Puerto Rico Open in 2016 for his first PGA TOUR victory. Since then, he’s had eight second-place finishes, including two this season. Over the course of his career Finau has 10 top-10 finishes in major championships, most recently a tie for eighth last month at the PGA Championship. Finau made his Ryder Cup debut in 2018 and played in the Presidents Cup in 2019. He is No. 14 in this week’s Official World Golf Ranking. This will be Finau’s sixth appearance at TPC River Highlands. Rickie Fowler is a five-time winner on the PGA TOUR, highlighted by his victory at THE PLAYERS Championship in 2015. This year, Fowler tied for eighth at the PGA Championship, his best finish of the season. His first TOUR win came in 2012 at the Wells Fargo Championship, and his most recent victory was the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2019.
