Protesters disrupt the end of Travelers Championship, but Scottie Scheffler wins the title in a thrilling finish.

Climate protesters caused a stir at the Travelers Championship by storming the 18th green, interrupting the final round of the PGA Tour event in Cromwell, Connecticut. The protesters left a powdery substance on the green, delaying the play and creating a bizarre end to the tournament. Despite the chaos, Scottie Scheffler emerged as the ultimate victor after a playoff against Tom Kim, claiming the 2024 Travelers Championship title.

Scheffler showcased his skill and composure by shooting a final round 5-under 65 to finish at 22-under in regulation play. His win at the Travelers Championship marked his sixth PGA Tour victory in the season before July, a remarkable achievement that mirrored Arnold Palmer's success in 1962. The disruption caused by the protesters added an unexpected twist to the tournament, making Scheffler's win even more impressive.

The 2024 Travelers Championship prize money payouts highlighted the lucrative season in PGA Tour history, with each player in the field earning substantial amounts at TPC River Highlands. The event's conclusion, with Scheffler prevailing amidst the chaos, will be remembered as a unique and dramatic chapter in golf history.
