Ian Woosnam Returning to Defend Title Tournament Field Includes Past Champions & Hall of Famers THE WOODLANDS, TX – April 12, 2016 —The Insperity Invitational presented by UnitedHealthcare will be celebrating its 13th anniversary May 2-8 as the 2015 champion Ian Woosnam returns to compete against one of the strongest fields on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. Woosnam has the opportunity to join Bernhard Langer as the only player in tournament history to successfully defend his title. Langer, who accomplished the feat by winning the 2007 and 2008 Insperity Invitational, will not be competing this year so he can attend his daughter’s college graduation. Joining Woosnam will be seven other past winners of Houston’s PGA TOUR Champions event—Larry Nelson (2004), Mark McNulty (2005), Jay Haas (2006), John Cook (2009), Brad Faxon (2011), Fred Funk (2012) and Esteban Toledo (2013). In addition, five World Golf Hall-of-Fame members are currently in the field: Tom Kite, Mark O’Meara, Curtis Strange, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle. “The field for this year’s tournament will once again be a fantastic combination of golf’s legends, new PGA TOUR Champions members, Hall of Fame members and the best players in the world age 50 and over,” said Bryan Naugle, Executive Director of the Insperity Invitational. “We are excited with all aspects of the tournament both on and off the golf course. The fans in the Houston area are in for a real treat as this annual tradition continues.” There are eight categories of eligibility in the invitational format, making this event unique on the PGA TOUR Champions schedule. -

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. -
