Travelers Championship 2019: Tee times for Round 3, TV schedule, how to watch live image

With three of golf's four major championships already in the books after Gary Woodland claimed his first-ever major title Sunday in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, the PGA Tour now swings across the country as the Travelers Championship tees off in Connecticut.

While Woodland won't be back to immediately build off winning his major, U.S. Open runner-up Brooks Koepka, who has finished second in three tournaments this year, headlines a strong field despite the quick turnaround from a major.

Bubba Watson is the defending Travelers Championship winner and will be looking to claim his fourth career title at the event, a feat that would tie him with Billy Casper's record of four.

Despite carding his best round of the U.S. Open on Sunday, Tiger Woods will not be playing at TPC River Highlands for the tournament as he opts to rest in advance of the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland next month.

On Monday, Woods stated that he's "going to take a little bit of time off and enjoy some family time" before the final major of the year.

Who is in the Travelers Championship field? 

Plenty of familiar names will be teeing off in a crowded field of 156 golfers just a week after the U.S. Open. Defending champion Bubba Watson is back and looking for his fourth title at the event. Brooks Koepka will try to improve his third-place status in the FedEx Cup standings.

Jordan Spieth hasn't recorded a win on the PGA Tour since the 2017 Travelers Championship and is in need of rebounding from a disappointing 65th-place finish at the U.S. Open. Tony Finau, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau are also among others teeing off at the event.
