Travelers Championship 2025 Intro

Holding an elite Signature Series event - the final one of eight this season - straight after a grueling US Open doesn’t seem the smartest idea if the plan is to see the game’s stars performing at their best.

That said, Scottie Scheffler (+350) showed he was ready to go again by winning last year as he outlasted Tom Kim in a playoff.

Scheffler won with -22, one shot more than Keegan Bradley’s tournament record, and that’s an extremely sharp contrast to last week where new US Open champion JJ Spaun was the only player to shoot under par.

And, of course, he only did that by draining a monster putt on the 72nd hole to beat Robert MacIntyre by two.

Scheffler, Bradley, Spaun and MacIntyre are all heading to TPC River Highlands this week.

It’s about a seven-and-a-half hour drive from Pennsylvania to the Connecticut course and those who missed the cut at Oakmont may have arrived early.

This has been a good event for home players with 11 of the last 12 editions won by American players. 

The odd man out was Scotsman Russell Knox in 2016 which may give encouragement to his compatriot MacIntyre.

Course Notes

• The course opened in the 1920s but was redesigned by Pete Dye in 1982

• TPC River Highlands is a short 6,844-yard par 70 featuring poa annua greens

• Jim Furyk shot a 58 there in the final round in 2016

• Keegan Bradley posted the record 72-hole aggregate score of 257 in 2023

• The good weather forecast suggests scoring will be low again 

Favorites to Win the Travelers Championship 2025

Scottie Scheffler (+300) at bet365

Scheffler left his move too late at Oakmont but, despite not having his best stuff, still walked away with a seventh place finish so his form in the majors this year reads 4-1-7. A winner of three of his previous four starts before heading to the US Open, Scheffler is also the defending champion here. That followed fourth in 2023 when he fired a pair of 63s and 13th in 2022 so this looks a great chance for him to add a fourth ‘W’ of the season.

Rory McIlroy (+1100) at bet365

Rory had a weird week at Oakmont. He started brightly, looked like he might miss the cut, slumped again on Saturday then hit back with the best Sunday score (67) to end in the top 20. With motivation a struggle since his epic Masters win and his relationship with the press rather frosty, McIlroy’s mood is unpredictable although he’s logged five straight top 20s here, including a best of seventh last year.

Collin Morikawa (+1400) at bet365

Like so many, Morikawa had an up-and-down week at Oakmont, shooting bookend 70s and 4-over 74s in the middle 36 holes to finish 23rd. He’s not managed a top 15 in six starts now so it’s been a frustrating time. He’s also got mixed form here: 36th on debut, missed cuts on his next two visits and 13th last year after sitting second at the midpoint (66-63).

Griffin to Stay Hot  

There could be a temptation to strike a line through anyone who contended at Oakmont last week.

After all, it was mentally grueling and having to tee it up again the week after may not appeal to those who feel frazzled.

And yet history tells us that in the last five editions which followed the year’s third major, three players who had a top 15 in the US Open went on to win here.

That bodes well for one of the PGA Tour’s hottest players - Ben Griffin.

Griffin’s last seven starts show wins at the Charles Schwab Challenge and the Zurich Classic pairs event, a second place at Memorial and top 10s in both the PGA Championship and the US Open.

That outstanding run has taken him to 14th place in the Datagolf rankings - a better measure than the OWGR given that they take into account LIV players too.

Griffin is in the form of his life and while this hot-streak continues it’s hard to turn down prices such as 50/1 - even in a stellar field like this.

Back him each-way (¼ Odds, 5 Places) with bet365.

Schauffele to Beat Morikawa

We landed another 72-hole match bet last week with -125 Jon Rahm beating McIlroy.

I’ll head to another match involving two elite players this week and back Xander Schauffele to get the better of Collin Morikawa.

It’s a surprise to see Schauffele as the ‘dog.

As noted, Morikawa’s course and current form is hardly rock solid.

True, Schauffele isn’t pulling up trees either but 12th at the US Open was a sturdy effort and he hasn’t actually finished worse than 28th in his last seven events even though he’s had just one top 10 in that spell.

But Schauffele definitely has the edge over Morikawa on course form.

The X man won at TPC River Highlands in 2022 after starting with a pair of 63s and he’s cracked the top 20 in five of his six visits to the Connecticut course.

Back Schauffele at +105 with bet365.

Harman to Land Top 10

It’s not often you’ll get +450 for an outcome that has happened six times in the last seven years.

But that’s the case with Brian Harman at TPC River Highlands - a place where his finishes since 2018 read 6-8-MC-5-8-2-9.

Although the course horse hasn’t done much in the last few weeks, we only have to rewind to April to find him winning the Texas Open.

Back Harman for his annual Travelers Top 10 at +450 with BetMGM.
