Dustin Johnson, who is the current number two male golfer, is the defending champion having won the last year's tournament. 
 
Johnson will get an opportunity to defend his title this year, but the American star will face stiff competition from top golfers.
 
Big-name players such as Jason Day, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson are set to tee it up this week. 
 
While former The Players Championship winners Rickie Fowler and Si Woo Kim and Patrick Reed, who won the 2018 Masters' Tournament, will also take part in the competition.

The spectators will return to the course for the Travelers Championship and there is a limit of 10,000 people a day.
 
“This is my 17th tournament, hands down the one most excited about,” said Nathan Grube, Travelers Championship tournament director.
 
“You know what you have here when the crowds are going crazy and you have the energy here. But when it’s not here you just miss it. 
 
“We made sure that we calculated if we have this many people from concession lines to tables and stuff like that, we wanted to make sure that people felt comfortable being out here."
 
Billy Casper is the most decorated player in the history of the Travelers Championship having won four titles in 1963, 1965, 1968 and 1973.
