(Cromwell, Conn./WTIC) - A fan favorite will be making a return trip to the Travelers Championship this summer.

Three-time Travelers champ Bubba Watson has committed to playing at the TPC River Highlands for the 15th time.

Watson won the event in 2010, 2015 and 2018.

The 42-year-old is a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour and his first victory came in Cromwell in 2010.

Watson won the 2015 Travelers in a playoff after carding a final-round 63 to erase a six-shot deficit.

He has also won The Masters twice, in 2012 and 2014.

Watson donated $100,000 to the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research Benefit Dinner in 2016 and pledged $200,000 to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

In addition, he recently gave $25,000 to the camp to help rebuild after a devestating fire this winter.

This year's Travelers Championship takes place from June 21-27.
