2017 Travelers Championship Round 2: Tee times, TV schedule, and live stream for Friday

Brooks Koepka is taking a well-earned week off after earning his first major title by running away to a record-tying finish at the 2017 U.S. Open. He isn’t the only big name to pass on this year’s Travelers Championship.

This year’s tournament is sparse on top-10 golfers, as players like Dustin Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama, Sergio Garcia, and Henrik Stenson will all join Koepka on the “regretfully declines” side of the Travelers RSVP. That leaves just a handful of elite linksmen in Hartford — and a tremendous opportunity for one of the game’s rising stars to make his mark with a headline-making win.

That’s what happened to Russell Knox last summer. The 32-year-old Scot earned his second PGA Tour title by holding off Jerry Kelly with a one-stroke victory. That win was part of a career year for Knox, who also notched personal best finishes at the U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship in 2016.

However, 2017 hasn’t been as kind. Knox failed to make the cut at each of this year’s majors. He’ll use this weekend’s opportunity to retain his title — as part of PGA Tour Live’s featured group — as a chance to get back on track and regain his spot as one of the world’s top golfers.

Jim Furyk will also try to reclaim some 2016 magic at the the TPC at River Highlands. The veteran golfer didn’t look like a 46-year-old on the course last summer, carding a PGA-record 58 to finish out his tournament and earn a spot in the event’s top five. Furyk is coming off a solid three-under performance at the Open, and his past mastery of the course could make him a steady favorite in the championship rounds.

Furyk and Knox will have to fight through a field that may lack the prestige of a major, but still carries plenty of recognizable names. Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Jason Day will all try to boost their top-10 rankings with big performances in Connecticut. Other headliners like Brandt Snedeker, Bubba Watson, and Patrick Reed will be in attendance as well.
