The Travelers Championship 2023 is almost near its business end on June 25, Sunday. Keegan Bradley leads the table and is followed by Chez Reavie who is just one shot behind. The duo maintains a five and four shots difference from number three Patrick Cantlay, respectively.
But as the tournament is closer to its conclusion, fans wonder how much will the golfers be getting in terms of a paycheck. Interestingly, the ongoing tournament has a prize purse equivalent to the recently concluded major, the 2023 US Open.
