The Travelers Championship announced Tuesday that Rory McIlroy has committed to playing in the 2022 tournament.
McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, will be making his fourth professional appearance at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, where the event is played each summer.
“Rory has been a wonderful ambassador for professional golf and creates excitement felt by millions of fans around the world whenever he plays,” said tournament director Nathan Grube. “Having a commitment from a player the caliber of Rory this early sets the tone for the type of field we’re expecting for this year’s Travelers Championship.”
McIlroy is a four-time major champion, having won the 2011 U.S. Open, 2012 PGA Championship, 2014 Open Championship and 2014 PGA Championship. He has at various times been ranked the number one male golfer in the world.
Last year, American golfer Harris English won the Travelers.
The 2022 Travelers Championship will take place June 20-26.
