Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut, securing his sixth win of the season after a dramatic playoff against Tom Kim. The final round at TPC River Highlands on June 23 was marked by an unexpected incident when climate activists from Extinction Rebellion stormed the 18th green, disrupting play with smoke bombs. The protestors were swiftly arrested by local police, and the grounds crew promptly repaired the damage, allowing play to resume. Both Scheffler and Kim were tied at 22-under, leading to a playoff where Scheffler ultimately triumphed. This win adds to Scheffler's impressive season, bringing his total earnings to $27.6 million.
