Tour Confidential: A FedEx Cup Playoffs fix, a new U.S. Amateur champ and more
Reigning FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland will tee it up at the Travelers Championship this week, as the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs approach. Hovland is coming off a victory at the BMW International Open and will be looking to continue his strong form at TPC River Highlands.
Also in the field this week is new U.S. Amateur champion James Piot. The 23-year-old from Michigan State won the prestigious championship last week and will be making his PGA Tour debut at the Travelers.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs are set to begin next week with the Northern Trust, and a number of players are jockeying for position in the standings. Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler are among the top contenders, and all three will be in action at TPC River Highlands this week.
