Amanda Balinois warns PGA Tour stars of the troubles at Travelers Championship’s “shortest” hole

Amanda Balionis, who is covering the 2025 Travelers Championship from TPC River Highlands, claimed that the par-4 15th hole could cause problems for players heading into the final rounds. The golf reporter added this was in spite of it being easier to reach the green in fewer strokes.

Sharing a photo from the course on Instagram, Balionis wrote:

"Hanging with @coltknost all day on the drivable par-415th! Shortest this hole has played all week but that doesn't mean it will be easy..."

The 15th hole at the Travelers Championship often tempts players to go for the green, but it can lead to mistakes if not played carefully.

In Round 1, the hole recorded 0 eagles, 29 birdies, 33 pars, and nine bogeys. No double bogeys were made. In Round 2 on Friday (June 20), it saw 1 eagle, 23 birdies, 38 pars, six bogeys, and two double bogeys.

For comparison, in last year’s Travelers Championship, the same hole produced 5 eagles, 110 birdies, 129 pars, 35 bogeys, and 1 double bogey over four rounds.

Even though it’s short, the 15th hole can still be challenging. With under two rounds left to play at the Travelers Championship, it’s still unclear whether the hole will play in favor of the field or prove to be as tough as Balionis has predicted.
