The Travellers Championship...odds and info

[MAGAking1]

The PGA TOUR goes from a major in event in the U.S. Open all the way across America to the Travelers Championship, taking place at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT.


The Travelers is now an “elevated event” on the PGA TOUR, which means there’s a guaranteed purse of $20 million and most of the top players in the world will participate. Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm at the top of the odds board makes for another great week of golf for the fans, even if there’s not a major trophy on the line.


Last week’s U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark checks in at +3500 after entering the national championship priced at +7000. He’s on equal pricing with Rickie Fowler, who was the 54-hole leader but struggled on Sunday and got to a T5 finish. That T5 is important, as Fowler is now exempt for all four majors through the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.


Here’s a look at the full slate of opening odds from DraftKings Sportsbook for the 2023 Travelers Championship, which tees off Thursday, June 22:

The 2023 Travelers Championship tees off from TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT this week for the PGA TOUR’s next elevated event. Here are our top picks to win it all.


All odds are courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Patrick Cantlay +1100​

This has been Cantlay’s year. In the past six months, he ranks fourth in the Travelers field in Strokes Gained: Total, fourth in SG: Tee to Green, and third in SG: Off the Tee. Since February, he has nine top-20 finishes and six top-10 finishes. It feels like he is just on the cusp of a big win. Cantlay has finished in the top 15 in each of his five most recent Travelers Championships, and he is more than able to hold his own with this star-studded field.

Collin Morikawa +2500​

Morikawa had to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament due to back spasms, but he is playing some of his best golf in recent memory right now. He grabbed a T10 finish at the Masters and a T14 at the U.S. Open last week. He ranks eighth in the field in total strokes gained and fifth in SG: Tee to Green. He ranks second in SG: Approach, just behind Scottie Scheffler. If he can continue to build on his success in the majors, this could be an excellent showing for Morikawa. He has not played in the Travelers since 2020.

Tony Finau +3500​

Finau impressed at the U.S. Open with a T32 finish after a back-to-back 68 and 69 in the first two rounds. He ranks sixth in the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green and fifth in SG: Approach. After a T13 finish at last year’s Travelers, Finau is an interesting longshot choice in Cromwell this week.

Give me Rahm…all in

 

[Willie99]

Great participation in this year's tournament, maybe the best field ever. Local news is saying the top six golfers in the world are all playing
