  • Bubba Watson Commits to 2021 Travelers Championship
    CONTACT: Tara Gerber Travelers Championship 860.502.6815 [email protected] BUBBA WATSON COMMITS TO 2021 TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP HARTFORD, Conn., March 23, 2021 – The Travelers Championship today announced that three-time winner Bubba Watson has committed to play in the 2021 tournament. Watson won the Travelers Championship in 2010, 2015 and 2018, and will be making his 15th appearance at TPC River Highlands. “Bubba is a fan favorite, especially here in Connecticut,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “Winning here for the first time has meant a lot to him and his family, and we appreciate his loyal support over the years. We’re looking forward to seeing him again in June.” Watson is a 12-time winner on the PGA TOUR, starting with his playoff victory at TPC River Highlands in 2010. He also won in a playoff in 2015, then shot a final-round 63 to erase a six-shot deficit and win the Travelers Championship again in 2018. Only Billy Casper, with four victories, has more wins in the tournament’s history. Watson has two major championships, winning the Masters in 2012 and 2014. He has competed on four U.S. Ryder Cup teams, two U.S. Presidents Cup teams, and participated in the 2016 Olympics. Off the golf course, Watson has also made a big impact in Connecticut. He donated $100,000 to the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research Benefit Dinner in 2016, pledged $200,000 to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in 2018, and most recently gave $25,000 to help rebuild Camp after a devastating fire.

  • Masters Tournament Pre-Event Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 20 YEARS OF ROLEX AND THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday, 02 April 2019 – As the freshly blooming azaleas of Augusta National Golf Club mark the arrival of the northern spring, the golfing world’s attention turns towards Georgia, USA, for the first men’s Major of the year – the Masters Tournament, which has been supported by Rolex since 1999. For more than 50 years Rolex has forged one of the most enduring partnerships between a brand and sport, based on a commitment to excellence in everything they do. Central to this relationship is Rolex’s long-standing support for men’s and women’s Majors. For two decades, Rolex has shown its unwavering commitment to Augusta National Golf Club and its famed fairways. In 2019, the 83rd edition of this most prestigious event marks the 20th anniversary of Rolex Testimonee José María Olazábal winning the title for a second time. It is also 25 years since the Spaniard claimed his first Masters win in 1994. Olazábal’s win in 1999 capped a period of sustained success for European players at Augusta National. Including 1999, eight of the previous 12 Masters Tournaments had been won by Europeans, among them, fellow Rolex Testimonee Bernhard Langer, also a two-time champion. ROLEX new guard As former champions, both will line up alongside the modern marvels of the game, including Jon Rahm, another Testimonee and a countryman of Olazábal, who enjoyed a rich run of form at the 2018 Masters. The 24-year-old demonstrated his precocious talent by finishing fourth in just his second start at Augusta National Golf Club.

Hours upon hours and months upon months have been put into the dream of bringing the 2019 Alberta Masters Games to Rocky Mountain House and Clearwater County. This is not a small undertaking and the timelines were tight, but here we all are making the dream come true. Our community members and volunteers are very excited to have participants and their families come from all over the province to enjoy the beauty of our backyard. I hope everyone takes some time to enjoy a treat from the wide selection of food trucks, takes a moment to enjoy our gorgeous view of the mountains, and don't forget to indulge in our fantastic line-up of concerts. We look forward to hosting you and we wish you the best of luck in your competitions.
