The Alabama-born legend is coming into the 2023 Travelers Championship having missed the cut at the 2023 US Open with Wyndham Clark winning the tournament.
Cink's best performance in 2023 came at the Sony Open in Hawaii where he finished 21st and he will now return to one of his favourate golf courses, TPC at River Highlands.
Why Cink is among the favourites
The experienced golfer won two Travelers Championship titles at the TPC at River Highlands as he lifted the trophy in 1997 and 2008 having also finished second in 1998 and 2008.
Cink knows what it takes to win this tournament and this makes him one of the favourites to clinch this year's trophy.
Quotes
Last month, Cink stated that he is hoping to return his game to the form that saw him win twice on the PGA Tour during the 2020-21 season.
“It’s not like your calendar flips over by one day and you’re not as good a golfer anymore. These guys out here play great. It's like any pro tour," Cink said on PGA Tour's website.
"You just kind of play your butt off. I know I can do that. Just want to keep on moving forward. It's hard not to have some expectations (when transitioning to PGA TOUR Champions), and that's part of preparation. Mentally prepare yourself for a little bit of everything.
"When you come into any golf competition. I just don't think it's any different coming out here. You still have to hit the shots. Plan for adversity. Yes, expect trials, and just be ready for everything.”
