Viktor Hovland beats Scottie Scheffler in dramatic Travelers Championship playoff

Viktor Hovland won the Travelers Championship on Monday, June 29, 2026, defeating Scottie Scheffler in a sudden-death playoff. Hovland sank a crucial 7-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole, while Scheffler narrowly missed a 4-foot birdie attempt that would have extended the contest. The playoff was forced after Scheffler holed an 8-foot par putt in near darkness on Sunday night, with both players having overcome deficits during the final round.
