The final Signature Event of the year begins Thursday when the 2026 Travelers Championship tees off from TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn. The event's signature status and proximity to last week's U.S. Open lead to a loaded 2026 Travelers Championship field that features all the top-ranked players on tour with the exception of Rory McIlroy. Scottie Scheffler is the +480 favorite (risk $100 to win $480) in the 2026 Travelers Championship odds via FanDuel Sportsbook.
Tommy Fleetwood (+1600), Xander Schauffele (+1800) and Ludvig Aberg (+2000) are next on the PGA odds board, with U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark at +3500.

2026 Travelers Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the Travelers Championship 2026: Young, who is one of the favorites at +2200, stumbles and finishes outside the top 10. He's a golfer to fade in Travelers Championship best bets. He was arguably the hottest player on tour earlier in the spring, but he's cooled off in the last few events. He's finished outside the top 25 in his past three events, including a T43 at the U.S. Open, so the model isn't confident in him as a top contender this week. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Justin Thomas is a top-5 contender on the projected leaderboard despite never having won a major and having slightly longer odds at +2700. Thomas has been steady recently, finishing no worse than T19 in any event since the start of May. He was one of the few golfers with two sub-70 rounds at Shinnecock Hills last week, and he has three top-10 finishes at the Travelers Championship. See who else to pick here.
