Rory McIlroy, once again the No. 1 golfer in the world, caught Andy Bessette in the corner of his eye after a gathering of PGA players in Florida recently.
“He pointed to me and said, ‘elevated. ... elevated is good,’” Bessette said. “Or something like that.”
It’s exactly like that. The Travelers Championship was rewarded for its many years of successful events at the TPC in Cromwell, its popularity among players, its loyalty to the PGA and its willingness to step up with the prize money to gain “elevated” status, which is tops with The Tour’s new two-tiered system.
