Scottie Scheffler Reveals JJ Spaun's Biggest Test at Travelers Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler knows all too well what it's like to return to work after winning a major championship. Having done so three times during his career, it's only natural that he has some advice for a first-time major winner like JJ Spaun. According to Scheffler, there's one thing Spaun should prepare for in particular: the attention he'll receive from now on. "I think after winning a major championship, like the first time you come back out to the course is a bit of a circus sometimes just with all the people," Scheffler said. "JJ just achieved kind of a lifetime goal and dream of his. It's definitely different coming to the golf course for sure." "There's a lot more people, a lot more stuff to sign, a lot of stuff that goes on." Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays his shot from the 17th tee during the final round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 15, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays his shot from the 17th tee during the final round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 15, 2025 in Oakmont, also emphasized the learning curve that comes with winning a tournament like the U.S. Open the way Spaun did. "Having that experience under your belt of winning the tournament, that's the most pressure he's felt in his entire career, and he stepped up and made amazing shots down the stretch, birdieing 17 and 18." "Having that confidence and experience going forward is going to serve him really well, not only knowing he can perform under the biggest pressure, but now he knows exactly what it feels like." J.J. Spaun is in the Travelers Championship field, just one week after winning the U.S. Open. Scheffler knows this feeling all too well. In fact, the world's top-ranked golfer has done the same thing two out of three times he has won a major championship. A warm welcome for @JJSpaun in Connecticut ❤️ — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 18, 2025 Not only that, but the Ridgewood, New Jersey native has also earned a win and a fourth-place finish the week after winning a major championship. He won the 2024 RBC Heritage a week after winning the Masters Tournament, and tied fourth in the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge a week after winning the PGA Championship. Spaun has played at TPC River Highlands six times, when the Travelers Championship wasn't yet a Signature Event. He missed the cut three times, and his best finish was tied for 30th in 2019. However, the circumstances are completely different now. Following an opening round 3-over 73, Spaun is near the bottom of the field. If he wants to make any noise, he'll need to go low Friday.

Rory McIlroy Quips Media with 'Report Birdies and Bogeys' at Travelers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It looks like the golf media won't let Rory McIlroy drop the topic of his feud with the press. After the first round of the Travelers Championship, the Northern Irishman showed up to answer reporters' questions, and the topic came up again, even taking a novel approach. McIlroy was asked about the role he believes the golf media should play in the current scenario. His response was shocking, to say the least: "I'm not a journalist. I don't know. Report the birdies and bogeys, I guess," he said. "And obviously you have to -- the storylines sort of write themselves for the most part." Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland runs up the hill after his round on the 18th hole during the first round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 19, 2025 in Cromwell,... Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland runs up the hill after his round on the 18th hole during the first round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 19, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. MoreThe Northern Irishman emphasized how necessary, but not indispensable, traditional media are in the current context: "I certainly see the need for it and see the need for the platform. Like I've never argued that." "But I just think nowadays there's so many different ways to consume sports and entertainment. It certainly isn't the only avenue to get your sports news and information." The five-time major winner has been in the middle of a back-and-forth with the press since last March, when he supported Collin Morikawa's decision not to hold a press conference following a disappointing result at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. At the time, Morikawa stated that he "doesn't owe anyone anything." McIlroy's support was based on the fact that PGA Tour rules don't require him to meet with reporters, as is the case in other sports. Both attitudes drew criticism from some media outlets. Rory McIlroy was asked what he thinks the role of the media should be in golf, "Report the birdies and bogeys I guess." Imagine how painfully boring golf @X would be if we all just stuck to only talking about golf........ — Chris McKee (@mrmckee) June 20, 2025 Weeks later, during the PGA Championship, the issue escalated. As you may recall, McIlroy's competition driver was declared non-conforming by the USGA, which generated all sorts of comments. The Northern Irishman decided not to hold a press conference during any of the four days of the event, which revived some criticism. The media had hoped to speak with him at the Memorial Tournament, but the 29-time PGA Tour winner unexpectedly skipped the event. In that context, the golf legend Jack Nicklaus, who hosts Muirfield's event, used himself as an example of always speaking to reporters, whether he played well or poorly. McIlroy reappeared before the press at the RBC Canadian Open to confirm that he was "frustrated" at some of the media outlets that cover golf events. Rory McIlroy got off to a good start in the Travelers Championship, finishing the first round tied for third at 6-under, two strokes behind leaders Austin Eckroat and Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy played bogey-free with six birdies. More Golf: Rory McIlroy Dishes on PGA Tour Signature Events' Biggest Problem
