Everything you need to know: Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland set for Monday playoff at the Travelers Championship<\/p>\n
Sometimes, 72 holes just aren’t enough.<\/p>\n
After four days of world-class golf and a lengthy weather delay Sunday afternoon, the Travelers Championship will be decided Monday morning in a sudden-death playoff between World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and World No. 8 Viktor Hovland at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.<\/p>\n
The format couldn’t be simpler.<\/p>\n
Scheffler and Hovland will return to the 18th tee at 9 a.m. ET and play the finishing hole. If they tie the hole, they’ll do it again. And again. And again. The first player to win a hole walks away with the Travelers Championship trophy.<\/p>\n

Weather forecast<\/p>\n
Monday morning should provide ideal scoring conditions with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s, light winds and only a slight chance of lingering showers after Sunday’s storms forced the tournament into an extra day.<\/p>\n
What’s at stake?<\/p>\n
Scheffler needed a clutch 8-foot par putt on the 72nd hole Sunday evening just to force Monday’s playoff. Hovland came within inches of draining a tournament-winning birdie moments earlier before settling for par. Neither blinked, and now they’ll settle it head-to-head.<\/p>\n
For Scheffler, it’s an opportunity to add another signature event victory and reinforce his status as the world’s best player. For Hovland, it’s a chance to knock off the game’s biggest star and claim one of the PGA Tour’s premier titles.<\/p>\n
No cut. No leaderboard watching. No strategy involving 154 other golfers.<\/p>\n
Just two of the world’s best players, one hole at a time, until somebody finally wins.<\/p>\n
