Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious at The 2024 Travelers Championship after a playoff with Tom Kim, securing his 6th PGA Tour win of the year and 12th overall. In addition to claiming the title and 700 FedEx Cup points, Scheffler also walked away with a hefty $3.6 million in prize money. The tournament, however, was marred by an incident involving protestors storming the 18th hole with paint and smoke bombs, leading to their immediate apprehension.
Despite the intense competition, Tom Kim came closest to beating Scheffler, narrowly missing a hole-out from the fairway on the 18th hole of regulation. His birdie putt forced the playoff but a poor wedge shot ultimately cost him the victory, denying him what would have been his 4th career PGA Tour win. Scheffler’s win solidifies his dominance in the 2024 season, placing him in the ranks of golf legends like Tiger Woods, Nick Price, and Vijay Singh, who have also achieved six or more wins in a single PGA Tour season.
The upcoming event on the PGA Tour calendar is The Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, where Rickie Fowler will aim to defend his sixth PGA Tour victory. With a relatively weak field due to the recent stretch of signature events and a major championship, only 10 top 50 players are expected to participate. Notable contenders include Tom Kim, Will Zalatoris, and Cameron Smith, all vying for a chance at glory.
Scottie Scheffler’s equipment of choice, known as ‘What’s In The Bag,’ includes a TaylorMade Qi10 driver, TaylorMade Qi10 3 Wood, Srixon ZU85 3 Iron, a set of Srixon ZU85 and TaylorMade P7TW irons, Titleist Vokey Design wedges, a TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter, and Titleist Pro V1 balls. This carefully curated selection of clubs and gear has undoubtedly contributed to Scheffler’s success on the course.
