Travelers Championship Sleeper Picks, Top 10 Predictions for TPC River Highlands

We turn the page from the U.S. Open on Long Island and go north one state to Connecticut for the long-standing Travelers Championship. Now in its 73rd year, this event has bounced around the PGA Tour schedule but now has found a home the week after the U.S. Open and brings Signature status.

Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Keegan Bradley, and Jordan Spieth are among the former winners at TPC River Highlands that will be competing this week. Only Rory McIlroy, who finished tied for 32nd at the U.S. Open, will be missing the chance to be crowned. 

When watching golfers, you can pick a lot more than just players to win the event. Other options on PrizePicks Team Picks include top-10 finishes, top-20 finishes, first-round leaders, top finishers in each round, and much more. 

With that in mind, let's break down our top Travelers Championship sleeper picks and top-10 predictions to consider for TPC River Highlands.

Travelers Championship Sleepers, Picks For Top-10 Finish

TPC River Highlands plays around 6,800 yards, the second-shortest course on the PGA Tour calendar. However, like most Pete Dye designs, it's a tree-lined course that rewards creativity and precision far more than brute force. 

Players are asked to shape shots in both directions, work their way into proper angles off the tee and consistently attack with wedges and short irons into small, tiered green complexes.

Here are three golfers to consider for your Travelers Championship top-10 picks on PrizePicks Team Picks. 

Scottie Scheffler Travelers Championship Prediction  

• Since his season-opening win at the AmEx, Scottie Scheffler does have seven top-four finishes, including last week at the U.S. Open.
• The World No. 1 player leads the Tour in shots gained total, tee-to-green, and greens in regulation, which will be key at this course. 
• He's also fifth off the tee, fourth around the greens, and 18th in putting.
• The four-time major champion won here in 2024, was fourth in 2023, and sixth last year. If he puts it all together, he has the tools to build a productive week.

• The Englishman has been 11th or better in four of his last five starts, including a fourth-place finish at Memorial.  He finished eighth at The Players, another Pete Dye course.
• Fleetwood puts himself in great position, as he's top five in fairways hit and also does well around the green, sitting fourth in scrambling and second in shots gained around the green.
• The reigning FedExCup champion has played well at TPC River Highlands, owning a runner-up finish last year and three top 15s.
