WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN…
It would be Harman’s third career win, giving him two-straight seasons with a victory – a career first.
In terms of world rankings, a win at the Travelers is worth 58 points so it would move Harman inside the top 20.
The cash payout here is $1.2m, so Harman would move from 28th ($2.35m) on the money list to inside the top 15 ($3.5m).
Finally, a victory would also move him into the conversation for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
