The 2024 Travelers Championship will be the eighth and final Signature Event on the PGA Tour calendar this year and play begins Thursday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn. Rory McIlroy is opting out after missing short putts on 16 and 18 to lose the 2024 U.S. Open, but the Travelers Championship 2024 field is still absolutely loaded. Seven of the top 10 players in the world will tee it up this week, as will defending champion Keegan Bradley.
Bradley scored his sixth career PGA Tour win last season at TPC River Highlands and he’s listed as a 55-1 underdog in the 2024 Travelers Championship odds. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the 4-1 favorite and he’s followed by Xander Schauffele (15-2), Ludvig Aberg (16-1) and Collin Morikawa (16-1) in this week’s PGA Tour odds. Before locking in any 2024 Travelers Championship picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and this year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now with the Travelers Championship 2024 field locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.
Top 2024 Travelers Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 Travelers Championship: Schauffele, the 2022 champion of this event and one of the top favorites, stumbles and barely cracks the top five. Schauffele won his first major at the PGA Championship in May and he’s had success at TPC River Highlands in his career. He also enters this week’s event full of confidence having finished T-8 or better in each of his last four starts on the PGA Tour.
However, Schauffele has recorded just one win in his last 42 starts on tour and he enters the Travelers Championship ranked outside the top 30 in both driving accuracy (67.17%) and one-putt percentage (42.37%). He also ranks 168th in approaches from 50-125 yards (22’9) this season, which doesn’t bode well for Schauffele’s chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Tony Finau, a 35-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 34-year-old is currently ranked No. 19 in the Official World Golf Ranking and 15th in the FedEx Cup standings after a t-3rd finish at the U.S. Open last week. He’s now finished top-20 in his last four starts and has four top-10 finishes this season.
Finau is a six-time PGA Tour winner and he’ll be hoping to use his elite ball striking to navigate a tight golf course this week, with TPC River Highlands measuring just over 6,800 yards but featuring four-inch rough that is incredibly penal. Finau ranks fifth on the PGA Tour this season in strokes gained: tee-to-green (1.379) and he’s third in strokes gained: approach (0.875). See who else to back here.
How to make 2024 Travelers Championship picks
The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title, and McClure is targeting a massive triple-digit longshot in his best bets. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
