The 2025 Travelers Championship has officially entered the weekend, and things are heating up at TPC River Highlands. As the eighth and final Signature Event of the PGA Tour season, this tournament delivers on all fronts, star power, fierce competition, and plenty of drama. Heading into Saturday’s third round, the top of the leaderboard is stacked, with three heavyweights locked in a tie for first at 9-under par.

Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, and Tommy Fleetwood currently share the lead after a thrilling second round. Thomas made the biggest move on Friday with a sizzling 6-under 64, while Fleetwood wasn’t far behind, carding a 5-under 65. Scheffler, who opened with a brilliant 62, cooled off slightly with a 1-under 69, but still held on to stay in that top group.

The PGA Tour summed it up perfectly: “The leaderboard is STACKED heading into the weekend,” and golf fans couldn’t agree more.

Sitting just one shot behind the leaders is Jason Day at 8-under, quietly positioning himself for a weekend surge. Denny McCarthy and Austin Eckroat round out the top five at 7-under, both looking to make a statement on moving day.
