Award-winning journalist Katie Couric will headline the Women's Day Breakfast at this year's Travelers Championship.
The former "Today" show and "CBS Evening News" anchor will speak at the event Thursday morning, June 22, at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.
The Women's Day Breakfast is one of the most popular events held as part of the Travelers Championship tournament week.
“The Women’s Day Breakfast is a tournament week tradition that typically sells out,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “With featured guests like Katie Couric, I’m expecting this year to be no different. From broadcasting to philanthropy to entrepreneurship, we’re looking forward to hearing Katie’s story.”
