Travelers Championship Prediction and Tips

The Travelers Championship takes place on the PGA Tour this week at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut and is the final Signature Event of the season.

It comes just a few days after the US Open, yet the field still features plenty of the world's best, including the top-ranked golfer on the planet, Scottie Scheffler, who is the favourite at 4/1.

Xander Schauffele, winner in 2022, comes in at 16/1 to claim a second title at TPC River Highlands, with Tommy Fleetwood 16/1 to win a second PGA Tour title.

A host of big names, including Scheffler, Keegan Bradley, Schauffele and Dustin Johnson have won this title since 2020, so don't be surprised to see another member of the elite win this title once again.

Travelers Championship Tips Summary

Best Bet - Xander Schauffele to win @ 16/1
Alternative Bet - Russell Henley to win and each-way @ 28/1
Alternative Bet - Keegan Bradley to win and each-way @ 35/1

Travelers Championship

Travelers Championship Prediction

Best Bet: Xander Schauffele to win @ 16/1

Schauffele has enjoyed a consistent 2026 so far, missing just one cut in 13 starts and that was back in February.

At the US Open last week the American had a chance to win his third Major title, but eventually fell away to a T11 finish after shooting 73 on Sunday.

Nevertheless, Schauffele has won this tournament before, claiming victory in 2022, sealing a two-shot victory largely by opening up with back-to-back rounds of 63.

Although injuries disrupted his 2025 season, Schauffele got back in the winner's circle last October at the Baycurrent Classic in what was his first victory since the 2024 Open Championship.

With a few weeks until the final Major of the year takes place, the American can kickstart his preparations by winning his second title at TPC River Highlands this week.

Alternative Bet: Russell Henley to win an each-way @ 28/1

Russell Henley is another player who has a more than respectable record at this tournament. Before the 2025 edition, he had missed just one cut in seven appearances, securing four top-20 finishes in that time.

Last year, he came so close to winning the Travelers for the first time, finishing a stroke behind winner Bradley.

He didn't exactly enjoy the best week at the US Open, finishing way down in 65th place, yet he did win the Charles Schwab Challenge at the end of May for his sixth victory on tour.

Given his past performances at this course, Henley should be able to put his US Open disappointment behind him. If so, expect him to challenge once again in Connecticut.

Alternative Bet: Keegan Bradley to win and each-way @ 35/1

Bradley is a man who knows to win at River Highlands. The 2011 PGA Championship winner has two victories here in the last three years.

In 2023 he finished at 23-under par for the week, which was the lowest score to win the tournament since 1982 and last year, he fended of Henley, Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day to claim his eighth PGA Tour title.

Coming into the tournament this year, however, his form hasn't been great, finishing inside the top-20 three times since the start of the year.

If any course can get Bradley playing back to his best, this is the one and he could be a solid each-way bet this week.
