More than 100,000 fans are expected in Cromwell this weekend for the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship.
Attendance restrictions, in place the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have been lifted. The 2020 tournament was played without fans present. Last year, attendance was limited to slightly less than 10,000 fans a day.
As large crowds return, there are several health and safety policies — and PGA regulations — to be aware of before you head to the TPC River Highlands golf club.
Health guidelines
- Tickets, food and all other purchases are cashless and contactless.
- Tickets can only be accessed on your smartphone and will be scanned at the gate.
