Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland finished regulation play tied at 21-under par at the Travelers Championship on June 28, 2026, at TPC River Highlands, leading to a Monday playoff. The playoff was necessitated due to weather and darkness preventing the tournament from concluding on Sunday. The playoff will take place at 9 a.m. ET on the par-4 18th hole, following a sudden-death format where the player with the lower score on a playoff hole wins. Scheffler, the world No. 1, has had a successful season with eight top-five finishes, but has only one victory in 2026, while Hovland seeks to secure his first win against Scheffler. The playoff marks the PGA Tour's first Monday playoff since March 2025.
