The Travelers trophy is seen on the 18th green during the final round of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands on June 23, 2024 in Cromwell, Connecticut.

After a grueling U.S. Open at Oakmont, the PGA Tour swings back to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.

This is the final Signature Event of the season, featuring a deep field that includes defending champion Scottie Scheffler, World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, recent major winner J.J. Spaun, and rising targets like Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikaw.

With a par‑70 layout that rewards precision iron play, it sets the tone for sharp betting strategy.

Top Betting Favorites

Scheffler returns as the overwhelming favorite at +280, a reflection of his runaway form–including a recent PGA Championship victory and strong tee-to-green game. McIlroy occupies the next slot at roughly +1100, followed by Schauffele (+1200) and Morikawa at +2000. Notably, newly-crowned U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun comes in at a distant +5000, while rising star Tommy Fleetwood is priced at +4000. 

Here is a complete list of odds:

  • Scottie Scheffler (+280)
  • Rory McIlroy (+1100)
  • Xander Schauffele (+1200)
  • Collin Morikawa (+2000)
  • Ludvig Aberg (+2000)
  • Justin Thomas (+2200)
  • Patrick Cantlay (+2200)
  • Viktor Hovland (+3500)
  • Sepp Straka (+4000)
  • Tommy Fleetwood (+4000)
  • Sam Burns (+4000)
  • Shane Lowry (+4500)
  • Robert MacIntyre (+4500)
  • Keegan Bradley (+4500)
  • All other players priced at +5000 or higher

Names to Watch

Defending champion Scheffler is the sure-fire favorite, with McIlroy and Schauffele close behind. But real betting value lies beyond the top of the board. Mid-tier players with strong iron-based strokes-gained profiles–such as Fleetwood, Griffin, and Harman–make for excellent top‑10/top‑20 plays.

Meanwhile, Spaun’s U.S. Open triumph gives him underrated momentum as a potential long-shot. Combine outright, prop, and parlay strategies tailored to statistical strength and market inefficiencies, and you’ll be betting the Travelers with intelligence and precision.

Remarkably, Spaun entered the U.S. Open at odds as long as +15000, making his victory one of the most unexpected major wins in recent memory, and a reminder of the value that can still be found deep down the board.

TPC River Highlands consistently puts a premium on accurate iron play and precision on approaches due to its tight fairways and small greens. Weather and travel logistics also feature in the odds: players flying back from Europe or recent overseas events are scrutinized more closely than those rested or playing stateside.
