The PGA Tour wrapped up their final signature event of the season following the U.S. Open, as the players made their way to Connecticut for the Travelers Championship. Without a Travelers Championship projected cut line, there was a logjam at the top of the leaderboard, but it didn’t cause a lot of movement in the Travelers Championship odds. Scottie Scheffler opened as the favorite, a position he never relinquished, as he won his sixth tournament of the year.
After a stoppage in play due to protestors on the 18th hole, Scheffler just missed a birdie putt, which forced a playoff showdown with Tom Kim. With a tough lie on the playoff hole, Kim wasn’t able to get the ball out of some thick grass, as Scheffler won the hole with a par.
Current Favorites to win the Travelers Championship
Scheffler comes into the Travelers Championship after what was a frustrating and disappointing performance at the U.S. Open. The Masters champion never found his game at Pinehurst Village and finished with his worst outing of the season. With 12 top 10’s in 14 events this year, watching Scheffler tie for 41st at the U.S. Open was a major surprise to many. When looking at the Travelers Championship odds, Scheffler is where he has been over the last couple of months. A massive favorite over the rest of the field, Scheffler will be looking to rebound nicely at TPC River Highlands. With one win in his last four events, Scheffler backers hope last week was just a little hiccup on his way to another win on the PGA Tour.
Schauffele comes into the event as a strong contender in the Travelers Championship odd. After finishing tied for seventh at the U.S. Open, Schauffele has now gone tie for fourth, tied for eighth, first, and second in his last four events. He is playing the best golf of his career and is one to keep a close eye on this week. The 2022 champion at TPC River Highlands, Schauffele’s familiarity with the course should keep him in contention all week. With 11 top 10 finishes in 15 events this season, Schauffele is in prime form to break back into the winners circle this week.
Still in search of his first win of the season, Morikawa also arrives in great recent form. Coming off a tie for 14th at the U.S. Open, Morikawa has rattled off eight straight top-23 performances. A tie for 4th at the PGA Championship was followed by a solo fourth place finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and then a solo second at The Memorial, followed by his most recent tie for 14th at the U.S. Open. When diving into the Travelers Championship odds, Morikawa needs to be included in your selections. Having missed the cut here last year, after shooting himself in the foot with an opening round 74, Morikawa bounced back showing he has the game to tame TPC River Highlands by shooting a second-round score of 63.
Aberg continues to be on the first page of the leaderboard at every tournament he tees it up at. Another impressive performance at a major has Aberg all the way into fourth place in the official world golf rankings. Aberg’s finished in the top 25 in 10 of the last 11 events he’s played in, with the one outlier being when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. Second at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as well as second at the Masters, he followed his missed cut at the PGA Championship by going tied for fifth at the Memorial followed by a tie for 12th at this past week U.S. Open.
Viktor Hovland (+500000 at Caesars Sportsbook)
Rounding out the top five in the Travelers Championship odds is Hovland. It has been a disappointing 2024 for one of the game’s great young stars. A best result of a solo third place finish at the PGA Championship, Hovland has otherwise not challenged on most leaderboards. Having missed the cut in two of his last five events, he may be one to stay away from this week. Looking for his first win since last season’s Tour Championship, Hovland is hoping to regain the form that saw him excel in the latter part of the season in 2023.
You’ll never find him with the lowest odds to win a golf tournament, but Harris English has a flair of showing up on leaderboards when least expected. Sitting 54th in the official world golf rankings and with four career PGA Tour victories to his credit, English has made the cut in 13 of 16 events this season. With two top 10’s already this year, English has eight top 25’s and will look to build on that at TPC River Highlands. A tie for 18th at the PGA Championship and a tie for 41st at the U.S. Open shows that English has the game for all sorts of conditions that the PGA Tour can throw at you. When looking at the odds to win the Travelers Championship, English may have some excellent value on his side. The 2021 champion is familiar with the course and should be heard from this weekend.

Travelers Championship betting trends
A trend to look out for this week is if big names can continue to rise to the top of the leaderboard in this event. For example, if you wanted to bet on three of the top favorites to come in the top ten in Morikawa, Aberg and Hovland it would be +1000. So, if you’re not sure if they will win but think that they will come in the top 10 then bet $10 to win $100 that all three will come in. e top 10 this week at the Travelers Championship.
Michael Thorbjornsen (+400000 at Caesars Sportsbook)
Just the second player to earn a PGA Tour card by finishing number one in PGA Tour University, Michael Thorbjornsen is guaranteed his PGA Tour status for the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025. Following in the footsteps of Ludvig Aberg who is now ranked number four in the world, coming out of university last season just like Thorbjornsen. He finished tied for 20th at the 2023 Hero Dubai Desert Classic after sharing the 36-hole lead and in his return this year to the same event he finished solo 11th.
How to read Travelers Championship betting odds
Reading golf betting odds is just as easy as reading betting odds on any other sport. For example, if you wanted to bet on Collin Morikawa this week and he is +1200. That means if you bet $10 on Morikawa to win, and he does you would win $120. Since you bet $10 and were getting odds of +1200.
How to bet on the Travelers Championship
There are several ways to bet on the Travelers Championship this week. One bet that stands out, however, is that Schauffele will be the first-round leader. Schauffele has been doing well lately and I see no signs of him slowing down. If you bet $10 on Schauffele to be the first-round leader at +1800 then you would win $180 if Xander is leading after the first round.
