2024 Travelers Championship Odds, History, Picks
The 2024 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands promises a strategic test for the PGA Tour’s elite. This Pete Dye-designed course, known for its tight fairways and water hazards, got even trickier in 2024 with narrowed fairways that punish wayward drives. Expect precision and course management to be at a premium, especially on the infamous finishing stretch (holes 15-17) where water lurks and greens demand accuracy. TPC River Highlands will test the full skillset of these golfers, making for an exciting battle for the Travelers Championship title.
Travelers Championship History
The Travelers Championship boasts a rich history dating back to 1952 when it debuted as the Insurance City Open. Originally held at Wethersfield Country Club, the tournament found a permanent home in 1984 at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Over the years, it’s undergone several name changes, including the Greater Hartford Open, before settling on the Travelers Championship in 2007.
Throughout its evolution, the tournament has attracted legendary players like Arnold Palmer and Billy Casper, who holds the record for most wins (four). TPC River Highlands itself has seen significant changes, most notably a major redesign in 1991 that established the challenging finishing stretch golfers now face. Today, the Travelers Championship remains a key stop on the PGA Tour, known for its charitable contributions, exciting finishes, and consistently strong field of players.
2024 Travelers Championship Odds
Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1, sits atop the Travelers Championship odds at +360. Still, Xander Schauffele, riding a hot streak, and rising stars like Ludvig Aberg and Collin Morikawa are close behind at +750 and 12-1 respectively. Defending champion Keegan Bradley is a longshot at 45-1, but with his course familiarity, he shouldn’t be completely discounted. The list of contenders extends well into the 20-1 to 50-1 range, and possibly even longer. Check out the early Travelers Championship odds from DraftKings Sportsbook below.

2024 Travelers Championship Odds Best Picks
See the 2024 Travelers Championship odds the experts at Betsperts Golf are betting on from TPC River Highlands this week.
Russell Henley Top 20 -120 (FanDuel)
Not long off the tee, but between the course’s length (just 6,800 yards) and the changes they’ve made to mitigate cutting the corners and bombing, I kind of like his skill set here. Coming off a strong top-10 finish at Pinehurst, his accuracy off the tee and high-end irons play should play well into TPC River Highlands. He’s quietly closing in on being a top-10 player and might be someone to keep an eye on at The Open Championship next month as well. – Andy Molitor
Brian Harman T20 +120 (DraftKings)
TPC River Highlands has proven to be one of Harman’s happy places with six career top-10 finishes including three consecutive. He thrives on shorter, positional courses and his elite play around the green will come in handy at a course where it’s tough to gain strokes from the difficult green-side rough.
