The PGA Tour heads to TPC River Highlands in Connecticut for the 2025 Travelers Championship, which occupies its traditional post-U.S. Open spot on the calendar. The Travelers Championship 2025 begins on Thursday and is the final Signature Event of the season. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the 2025 Travelers Championship field, which also features Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, and newly-minted U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun.
Scheffler enters this week’s event as the +280 betting favorite, according to the latest 2025 Travelers Championship odds. He’s followed by McIlroy (+1100), Schauffele (+1200) and Morikawa (+2000) on the PGA odds board. Should your 2025 Travelers Championship bets include backing one of the favorites, or should you target a longshot like Tom Kim (+9000), who’s the defending champion of this event?

2025 Travelers Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Travelers Championship: Rory McIlroy, a 26-time PGA Tour winner and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. McIlroy has been extremely inconsistent since completing the career grand slam with his victory at the Masters in April. McIlroy secured a T-7 finish at the Truist Championship in May, but has finished T-47 or worse in two of his last three starts.
The 36-year-old has admitted to “lacking motivation” in events since his win at Augusta National, which could be the case again this week following the grueling test at Oakmont. McIlroy enters this week’s event ranked 78th in total driving (169), 79th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.071) and 167th in driving accuracy (51.89%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Travelers Championship field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
In order to score well at TPC River Highlands, players will need to be accurate with their irons and few do it better than Fleetwood. The 34-year-old Englishman ranks 11th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.608). He’s also been effective on the green, ranking 21st in putting average (1.728), 22nd in one-putt percentage (42.89%) and 29th in putts per round (28.30). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2025 Travelers Championship bets. See who else to pick here. Bettors looking to take advantage of a Caesars Sportsbook promo code can get Fleetwood to finish inside the top 10 at +250 odds.

The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 35-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
