2022 Travelers Championship: PGA Tour Odds and Betting

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are favoured on the golf odds.

One big name who will not tee it up this week is Bryson DeChambeau. He’s planning to join the LIV Golf Series. That doesn’t have an event this week (next on June 30), but DeChambeau is expected to be suspended from the PGA Tour so he’s simply passing this week. Dustin Johnson did play the first LIV event two weeks ago and was suspended. He won here in 2019. Phil Mickelson is a two-time winner but also suspended. Also passing this week is England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, who won the U.S. Open on Sunday for his first major title. But 12 of the world’s Top 20 are scheduled to tee it up in Hartford.

The PGA Tour-record low score of 58 was shot by Jim Furyk in the final round of the 2016 Travelers Championship, although he didn’t win. Last year, Harris English and Kramer Hickok staged an eight-hole playoff (it was a sudden-death format; they both finished 72 holes at 13 under), the second-longest in Tour history. English won. The record for a sudden-death playoff is 11 holes in the 1949 Motor City Open, when Lloyd Mangrum and Cary Middlecoff were declared co-winners by mutual agreement due to darkness.

The TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn. is the host. It’s a short par 70 at about 6,850 yards and the signature stretch is holes 15-17, which plays around a lake. Americans have won the past four years and the vast majority of time overall. Bubba Watson leads all active players with three wins (2010, ’15, ’18) in the tournament.

Travelers Championship Golf Odds

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are all +1000. Scheffler has four wins this season including the Masters and came close to No. 5 on Sunday at the U.S. Open but ended up one shot behind winner Matt Fitzpatrick. Scheffler has played here twice and yet to contend.

McIlroy’s major title drought continued Sunday, but he’s always in the Top 10 at the Grand Slams and he finished T5. He has finished in the Top 20 in all three Travelers Championships he’s taken part in. Thomas, this year’s PGA Championship winner, was T37 at the U.S. Open. His best finish here is T3 in 2016. Defending champion Harris English is a +9500 longer shot. He hasn’t played much (or that well) this year off hip surgery. Each champion at the Travelers since 2016 has played the U.S. Open the week prior.

No Canadian has won this event. Dave Barr was a co-runner-up in 1988 when he and Joey Sindelar lost in a playoff to Mark Brooks. Last year, David Hearn was T73, Mackenzie Hughes T76, and Michael Gligic, Adam Hadwin, Roger Sloan and Nick Taylor missed the cut. Hughes is +9500 this week with Adam Svensson +21000, Sloan +50000 and Gligic +50000. Hadwin, who led the U.S. Open after Round 1 and finished with his first Top 10 at a major with a T7, is off this week.

Travelers Championship Golf Predictions

Like Patrick Cantlay at +1500 to win. He comes off a T14 at the U.S. Open and hasn’t been worse than T15 in the past four years at this event but yet to win it. Cantlay also shot a 60 at TPC River Highlands in 2011 as an amateur.
