2026 Travelers Championship leaderboard, live updates for Saturday's third round

The weekend has arrived at the Travelers Championship.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, seeking his first win since January, is the leader by two after posting a blistering 10-under 60 Friday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. He'll look to extend that lead Saturday while others in contention, like Viktor Hovland and Akshay Bhatia, look to chase him down.

Check tee times and keep tabs on every score posted at TPC River Highlands with the 2026 Travelers Championship live leaderboard. Here's what it looked like at the top when played concluded Saturday:

Viktor Hovland made birdie at No. 18 while Scottie Scheffler bogeyed — a two-shot swing that gave Hovland the solo lead entering Sunday's final round as he seeks his first victory since last year's Valspar Championship. The Norwegian made four birdies in his final eight holes to shoot 64 Saturday.

The world No. 1 is alone at the top again. Scottie Scheffler broke the tie with Viktor Hovland with a stretch of three consecutive birdies at Nos. 13-15.

Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland have been deadlocked all day and neither wants to budge. They both made bogey at the 10th, they both bounced back with a birdie at the 11th, they both made par at No. 12 and they both poured in birdie putts on the par-5 13th. As of 3:45 p.m. ET, they sit tied at the top of the leaderboard at 18 under, two shots clear of Akshay Bhatia, who's in solo third.

It's looking like Keegan Bradley is probably not going back-to-back at the Travelers Championship. He's in a tie for 29th, eight shots off the lead. But he has another shot to add to his highlight reel at TPC River Highlands:

Akshay Bhatia is hot on the heels of co-leaders Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler after this birdie at the par-3 8th got him to 16 under, just one back.

Viktor Hovland made three birdies in his first four holes Saturday at the Travelers to get to 17 under and tie Scottie Scheffler for the lead as of 3 p.m. ET.

The final pairing of Viktor Hovland and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has teed off for the third round of the Travelers Championship. Hovland made birdie at the first to get to 15 under and within one shot of Scheffler, who made par.

There's a small chance of some rain late in the afternoon, but otherwise it's shaping up to be a pleasant afternoon at the Travelers, with temps in the low 80s and very light winds. Safe to say, we can probably expect more low scores.

Here's where the pins will be set for the third round at TPC River Highlands:

No. The Travelers Championship is the last of five signature events on the PGA Tour's 2026 schedule that do not feature a 36-hole cut. All 72 players in the field get to compete through the weekend.

Scheffler recorded 11 birdies in Friday's round of 60. He leads by two over Viktor Hovland, who claims he had 'awesome stuff' during his round of 61. There was also a 62 on Friday, which was posted by Akshay Bhatia.

Of the 72 golfers in the field, 61 are in red numbers and 64 are at even par or better. For those math-deficient, that means there are just eight golfers over par through 36 holes.

There is a $20 million in the prize fund and $3.6 million is being set aside for the winner.
