Well Traveled 🗺️
CROMWELL, CT
Congratulations to Wyndham Clark and his team for a second US Open victory. I certainly can’t think of two better venues to win our national championship than Los Angeles Country Club and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Much has been written about Clark, the fans, and the USGA. Outside of seeing how he continues to handle himself on and off the course, I’m interested to watch Wyndham’s career evolve. Can Clark win a different major championship. Pundits pose the question often, can Wyndham keep it in play? Clark was one turn (or two) away from winning a PLAYERS in 2024. That’s an accuracy contest. Surely, he proved he can play in the wind. That’s a must on any resume going into an Open Championship. Golf is a unique game. The fact a man who hit a career low period can come back in 12 months and completely transform his game and mind is astounding. Let’s hope all of the negative narratives surrounding Clark don’t cause him to relapse and he continues to contend for championships. The putter and scrambling abilities are fun to watch.
If you take the North Fork ferry, it is approximately 106 miles from Southampton, NY to Cromwell, CT. A quick commute by PGA TOUR standards, the Travelers Championship is our next stop in 2026 and the final Signature Series event on the tournament calendar. A field of 72 players will compete in a no-cut 72-hole competition. There is $20 million in the purse, and $3.6 million up for first place. Speaking of the schedule, PGA TOUR CEO Brian Rolapp spoke to the media on Tuesday morning and here’s a quick summary of what he had to say.
