Defending Travelers Championship winner Bubba Watson, along with 2007 champion Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler and Ben Crane (the only one not yet scheduled to play next week) are starred in this 2-plus minute video that has gotten plenty of attention.

Not sure if Bubba Watson brought a clip when he met President Obama earlier this week. Pretty hillarious stuff.

Take a peek

Jim Furyk, Geoff Ogilvy and Sean O’Hair are the latest golfers to commit the Travelers Championship next week at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.
Furyk is making his fourth appearance, but first since 2001. The 2003 U.S. Open champion, Furyk is the reigning FedEx Cup champion and is ranked 19th in the world golf rankings. His best finish was in 2000 when he finished fourth.
Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open winner, made his only other trip back to River Highlands in 2001, when he finished tied for 22nd. Through nine events in 2011, Ogilvy has finished in the top-25 five times, including a tie for fourth at The Masters, and is ranked 32nd.
O’Hair will make his second trip to TPC River Highlands and first since 2006. He has three top-25 finishes.
The three join already committed players Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Anthony Kim, Nick Watney, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh, Tim Clark, Ricky Barnes, Rickie Fowler, David Toms, John Daly and more.

Singer Michael Bolton, who will compete in the Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am next Wednesday, will also perform a benefit concert at The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts Tuesday to raise funds for The Michael Bolton Charities for Children & Women at Risk, with other special guest artists, including Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dave Mason, Australian singer/actress, Delta Goodrem, and acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist, Orianthi.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.

The Travelers Championship returns to TPC River Highlands beginning next week.
