2026 PGA Picks: Travelers Championship Odds and Expert Betting Predictions

After battling the difficult conditions last week at the US Open, it was Wyndham Clark who came out on top to pick up his fifth career PGA Tour win, his second US Open win, and his second win on the PGA Tour this season (2026 The CJ Cup Byron Nelson).

This week, the PGA Tour will remain in the Northeast and will travel to Connecticut to take on the Travelers Championship. The field will once again be packed with the top players in the world, including the defending champion, Keegan Bradley.

This tournament is set to begin on Thursday, June 25th, and will run through Sunday, June 28th. As always, my article will preview this event by providing a brief course overview, a look at the outright betting odds, and will give you my best bet to win the tournament, as well as my two favorite ‘Top X Finish’ plays.

Best Bets

Sam Burns to Win the Travelers Championship (+2200)

My best bet to win the Travelers Championship will target Sam Burns. Burns has had a solid season to date and is ranked 10th in the FedEx Cup Standings. He has been even better recently, finishing inside the Top 5 in two of his last three starts, which include a T4 at the Memorial Tournament and a T2 most recently at the US Open.

This season, Burns ranks 14th in Strokes Gained: Total, 4th in Strokes Gained: Putting, 11th in Scoring Average, 4th in Par 4 Scoring, and 16th in Birdie Average, which further shows how consistent he has been on Tour this season. 

Burns was so close to winning at the US Open in much harder conditions than what he will likely see here at the Travelers Championship; therefore, backing Sam Burns to win the Travelers Championship will be my best bet.

Patrick Cantlay to Finish Top 20 (Including Ties) (-116)

My favorite ‘Top X Finish’ prop for the Travelers Championship will look for Patrick Cantlay to finish inside the Top 20. Cantlay has had a decent 2026 season thus far, but ranks just 42nd in the FedEx Cup Standings. He has been playing more consistently as of late, having finished inside the Top 20 in six of his last seven events. 

Cantlay did most recently miss the cut at the US Open, but given that this event is known for its difficult conditions, this can be overlooked for how solid Cantlay has been playing over the last few months. 

On the season, Cantlay ranks 17th in Strokes Gained: Total, 22nd in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, and 10th in Par 4 Scoring. His putting has generally been a letdown this season; however, given his consistent play overall, backing Patrick Cantlay to Finish Inside the Top 20 will be my play.

Wyndham Clark to Finish Top 20 (Including Ties) (-104)

My second favorite ‘Top X Finish’ prop for the Travelers Championship will look for Wyndham Clark to Finish Inside the Top 20. Having just won the US Open last week, Clark is in top form, ranking 4th in the FedEx Cup Standings. 

This season, Clark has finished inside the top 20 a total of seven times. This includes his last four tournaments in a row, in which he finished 1st (The CJ Cup Byron Nelson), 3rd (The Memorial Tournament), T11th (RBC Canadian Open), and 1st (US Open).  

To go along with his impressive finishes recently, Clark ranks 11th in Strokes Gained: Total, 11th in Strokes Gained: Approach to Green, 5th in Putting Average, 7th in Scoring Average, and 3rd in Birdie Average.

Given his improving form, especially in the last month, backing Wyndham Clark to Finish Inside the Top 20 will be my play.
