This years Traveler’s Championship will be highlighted by the new state-of-the-art practice facility at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT.  The new facility is backed by Travelers, PGA Tour, The First Tee, USGA, and Northeast Utilities/CT Light & Power.  It will also be utilized for youth development golf programs through “The First Tee of CT”.

PGA Tour Player, Brad Faxon, is designing the 4 hole short course being built right now
and should be a great challenge
for young golfers. 

 Along with the 4 hole course, The First Tee Kids will be able to utilize the 23.5 acre practice facility. 

A new building is being constructed for the First Tee of CT headquarters and will provide 4 indoor hitting bays, Classrooms/Conference Center, Computer Lab, along with the opportunity to teach kids year round. 

First Tee’s Mission Statement – “To impact the lives of young people by providing programs that promote character development and life-embracing values through golf.”

At the Grand Opening of the 23.5 acre practice facility defending Traveler’s Champion, Hunter Mahan, hit the first shot, along with First Tee Golfer Chris Wall. 

The facility is now one of the best practice areas on the PGA Tour.  It is 360 yards long and has 24,000 square feet of putting and chipping area. 

Brad Faxon says, “This facility will definitely impact the players perception of the Travelers Championship in a very positive way.”
