After Wyndham Clark won the U.S. Open for the second time in four years at +4200 pre-tournament odds, the PGA Tour heads to a signature event. It’s the always entertaining Travelers Championship, which has most of the PGA Tour’s big guns competing, minus Rory McIlroy. Keegan Bradley is the defending champion, having also won this tourney in 2023. Sandwiched in between was a Scottie Scheffler triumph in 2024, and he’s the favorite to win this week.
Going low is imperative to win at TPC at River Highlands, where double digits under par has been the winner’s score every year since 1994. After winning the U.S. Open, Clark is still entered to compete in Cromwell, Connecticut, but that could change if he decides to withdraw to celebrate his second major victory.
Travelers Championship Odds (2026)
I’m starting my card this week with Justin Thomas, who has done everything but win this event in recent years. JT is coming off a top-20 at the U.S. Open, and in the last three years at the Travelers, has posted top-10s each time.

Last 5 Travelers Championship Winners
Thomas also has a T-3rd to his credit at the 2016 Travelers, and has top-25s in his last six starts. He’s been putting the building blocks back together following a herniated disc injury late last year, and has been playing great golf. His odds are +3200, which is longer than the top-eleven golfers on the board, allowing us to get some value on him.
Travelers Championship 2026 Picks & Value Bets
- Ben Griffin +4200: Ben Griffin comes into this tournament having posted a top-20 at Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. He put together a top-15 at the Travelers a year ago, and in his last six times teeing it up, he’s had a pair of third place showings (Cadillac Championship, Charles Schwab Challenge).
- Keegan Bradley +4900: It’s pretty hard to argue with this one, especially with these juicy odds. Keegan Bradley won at this track in both 2023 and 2025, and was also T-2nd in 2019. He’s been absolute money at TPC at River Highlands, and is coming off a decent showing at the U.S. Open.
- J.T. Poston +6900: I’m going to ride with the hot hand of J.T. Poston for this week at a place he was the runner-up at in 2022. Just two starts ago, he won for the fourth time in his career on the PGA Tour at the Memorial, then followed that up with a T-4th at the U.S. Open, his best ever finish in a major championship.
- Sungjae Im +11000: Sungjae Im is the perfect boom or bust candidate at this price. Two years ago, he was in contention at this tourney, before eventually winding up T-3rd. He’s popped on some leaderboards a few times this year, namely a T-4th at the Valspar (where he led after three rounds), T-5th at the Truist and another top-ten at the Byron Nelson. While winning might be a stretch, he’ll be interesting to monitor in the top 5/10/20 markets.
