The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
the 2022 Travelers Championship generated more than $2.5 million
for more than 130 charitable organizations. Since Travelers became
title sponsor in 2007, the event has raised more than $25 million
for more than 800 local nonprofits.
“World-class golf that does a world of good is what the
Travelers Championship is all about, and this year’s tournament was
spectacular on both counts,” said Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer at Travelers. “Congratulations to Xander
Schauffele for putting on a truly impressive performance and
earning a place in the history books of this storied event. To the
fans who joined us at TPC River Highlands and those who tuned in
from home, we are grateful for your support – thanks to you, we
make a difference for so many worthy organizations throughout the
region. And to everyone who worked so hard to make this event what
it is for the best fans and players on TOUR, especially the
thousands of volunteers, thank you. It’s an honor to host this
tournament, and we’re looking forward to making the 2023 Travelers
Championship another unforgettable experience.”
The tournament donates 100% of its net proceeds to nonprofits,
and this year’s primary beneficiary is The Hole in the Wall Gang
Camp in Ashford, Connecticut, which provides a traditional summer
camp experience for children with serious illnesses.
“The support from the state of Connecticut, our fans, our
sponsors, the players, the PGA TOUR and our dedicated volunteers is
what makes this tournament an exceptional event,” said Andy
Bessette, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer
at Travelers. “We’re so fortunate to be able to watch the best
players in the world compete in Connecticut, and we couldn’t be
more thankful for the way this community has embraced the Travelers
Championship. It will be great to see everyone back again next
