The last of the PGA Tour's eight Signature Events this season comes from TPC River Highlands in Connecticut with the Travelers Championship.
A year ago, Scottie Scheffler continued his dominant season with his sixth victory, for which he received prize money of $3.6m from the overall purse of $20m.
There's an identical sum available at this year's tournament. As a result, the winner will again bank $3.6m, with $2.16m heading to the runner-up.
It's also one of the five Signature Events without a cut, meaning even the player finishing 72nd and bottom of the leaderboard will claim prize money of $36,000.
As well as the prize money, 700 FedEx Cup points are available to the winner.
Below is the prize money payout for the Travelers Championship.

Who Are The Star Names In The Travelers Championship?
As well as defending champion Scottie Scheffler, another big name to watch is Rory McIlroy. He's been decidedly out of sorts since winning The Masters in April, leaving some to wonder what is going on with him. He even hinted at the US Open that he didn't want to stay longer at Oakmont than necessary.
In the end, his final round of 67 was the best of the lot, helping him finish a respectable T19 and offering some encouragement that he may soon emerge from his slump. Is this the week he gets back to his best?
Other members of the top 10 in the field include 2022 winner Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, who are looking for thier first victories of the season.
RBC Heritage winner Justin Thomas also plays, along with Arnold Palmer Invitational victor Russell Henley, Sepp Straka, who has two PGA Tour wins this year, Valspar Championship winner Viktor Hovland, Genesis Invitational champion Ludvig Aberg and the man of the moment JJ Spaun, who won the US Open with a sensational 64-foot putt.
Other former winners of the event in the field are 2023 champion Keegan Bradley, Harris English, who won a year earlier, and 2017 winner Jordan Spieth.
Where Is The Travelers Championship?
The tournament is held at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut, its home since 1984. It was the venue where Jim Furyk carded a historic 58 at the tournament in 2016 - the PGA Tour’s all-time scoring record.
Is There A Cut At The Travelers Championship?
Unlike the player-hosted signature events, the Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Memorial Tournament, there is no cut at the Travelers Championship. Every player in the 72-man field will earn some prize money, with the winner set for $3.6m and the player at the foot of the leaderboard $36,000.
