The 2016 Travelers Championship returns to TPC River Highlands in an unusual August date, with Bubba Watson defending the title he won in dramatic fashion last year in a playoff over Paul Casey.
Watson, Patrick Reed and Matt Kuchar — the three U.S. Olympians in the field this week — will play together for the first two days, going off at 1:25 p.m. from No. 1 on Thursday.
Paul Casey draws Brian Harman and Webb Simpson. They go off on Thursday from the 10th tee, also at 1:25 p.m.
