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 8:10 a.m. from No. 10 on Friday.
Paul Casey draws Brian Harman and Webb Simpson. They go off on Thursday from the first tee, also at 8:10 a.m.
