CROMWELL, Conn. — Will Zalatoris has been confirmed to play in the 2023 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.
Zalatoris was the 2021 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year and is currently No. 8 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
“We’re excited to have Will as part of our star-studded player field,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “Our fans will really enjoy watching him compete against such a loaded field of the world’s top professional golfers.”
Zalatoris becomes the sixth top-10 player to commit to this year’s tournament. He joins Scottie Scheffler , Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, defending champion Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas .
Zalatoris, 26, of Dallas, became a PGA TOUR winner for the first time last year when he won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in a playoff.

He also finished second at the Masters and was T8 at the PGA Championship in 2020-2021, a season where Zalatoris earned eight top-10 finishes on his way to being named top rookie by his PGA TOUR peers
