Episode Details

Viktor Hovland clinched the Travelers Championship in a nail-biting playoff against Scottie Scheffler, sinking a seven-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole after Scheffler’s four-footer missed. The drama unfolded on the par-four 18th, where Hovland’s clutch downhill putt—grazing the cup—sealed the win, while Scheffler’s overpowered attempt rolled past. Hovland’s 10th global title and 8th PGA Tour win follows his Valspar victory in March 2025, while Scheffler’s fourth runner-up finish this year comes after his American Express opener. The electric playoff featured Norwegian fans chanting Hovland’s name against American supporters’ roars, mirroring last year’s Ryder Cup—and adding a twist: Norway’s next World Cup match is in Dallas, Scheffler’s hometown.
