 The Travelers Companies, Inc. TRV 
 today announced the start of the 2017 Travelers Championship at TPC 
 River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Many of the PGA TOUR's top 
 players will compete, including Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, 
 Justin Thomas, Paul Casey, Patrick Reed, Brandt Snedeker, Zach Johnson, 
 Jim Furyk, two-time winner Bubba Watson and defending champion Russell 
 Knox.
 
 
 The Opening Ceremony begins today at 9 a.m. at the Memorial Garden at 
 TPC River Highlands, with remarks from:
 
 <ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Alan Schnitzer, Chief Executive Officer of Travelers;
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Andy Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative 
 Officer of Travelers;
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy;
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan; and
 </li>
 <li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistitemmargb">
 Nathan Grube, Travelers Championship Tournament Director.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 The event will include a special ceremony dedicating the Memorial Garden 
 in memory of Jay S. Fishman, the former Chairman and Chief Executive 
 Officer of Travelers. The space includes plaques honoring former winners 
 of the Travelers Championship who have passed away. A plaque recognizing 
 two-time Travelers Championship winner Arnold Palmer has been added this 
 year.
 
 
 "We are proud to once again host some of the best golfers in the world 
 at the Travelers Championship and generate funds for hundreds of 
 charities throughout the region," Schnitzer said. "We view our title 
 sponsorship as a great responsibility to the community, and we wouldn't 
 be able to deliver a world-class event without the tremendous support 
 from the PGA TOUR, its players, the tournament's sponsors, the thousands 
 of volunteers and, of course, the fans."
 
 
 The Travelers Championship donates 100 percent of its net proceeds to 
 charity and has generated more than $36 million since the event began in 
 1952. Since Travelers became title sponsor in 2007, almost $13 million 
 has been donated to more than 600 nonprofit organizations throughout New 
 England.
 
 
 The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Connecticut, is returning as 
 the tournament's primary beneficiary. It provides a traditional summer 
 camp experience for children facing serious illnesses. The Hospital for 
 Special Care (HSC) in New Britain, Connecticut, which treats more than 
 250 Connecticut residents with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), was 
 named last year's primary beneficiary in honor of Jay Fishman. HSC will 
 continue to have a strong presence, with a chalet on Corporate Row 
 donated by the tournament to accommodate the needs of ALS patients.
 
 
 The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and HSC have been designated this year's 
 Honorary Co-Chairs.
 
 
 Special events will take place throughout the week, including the always 
 exciting contest where pros compete during Tuesday's practice round for 
 the first hole in one or closest to the pin at The Umbrella at 15½ — a 
 40-foot-wide floating green in the shape of the Travelers red umbrella 
 logo. The winner receives $10,000 for the charity of his choice.
 
 
 Celebrities will show their support during events like the Travelers 
 Celebrity Pro-Am June 21 and Women's Day June 22. Broadway star 
 Christopher Jackson of "Hamilton" fame, actor/comedian Kevin Nealon, 
 ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman, former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, 
 10-time NBA All-Star Ray Allen and other celebrities will participate in 
 Wednesday's Pro-Am. Designer and entrepreneur Tory Burch and chef and TV 
 personality Andrew Zimmern from "Bizarre Foods" will headline Women's 
 Day.
 
 
 Competition rounds of the Travelers Championship will be June 22–25. 
 Golf Channel will provide live coverage from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. EDT 
 Thursday and Friday, and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. EDT. 
 CBS will have coverage from 3 to 6 p.m. EDT Saturday and Sunday.
