Scottie Scheffler is gearing up to defend his title this week at the Travelers Championship 2025. Last year at the tournament, he registered a win after defeating Tom Kim in the playoff.The 2025 edition is scheduled to take place at the TPC River Highlands, and ahead of the start of the game, Scottie Scheffler recently reflected on his strategy to play the 18th hole of the course. The Travelers Championship shared a video of the defending champion on its Instagram account, in which Scheffler said:"I mean, I'd say the strategy for the hole is basically to try to keep it out if the lip of that left bunker. Because the miss in this hole is actually up the left. On the right side, if you hit it in the rough, you're probably not going to be able to hold the green."
