2024 Travelers Championship fantasy golf rankings, picks, strategy: Back Brian Harman, avoid Collin Morikawa

A winning and tested PGA Tour fantasy golf strategy is to roster underrated players on fields where they typically excel. For the 2024 Travelers Championship, golfers such as Jason Day and Keegan Bradley have repeatedly appeared at TPC River Highlands. Day is attractive to 2024 Travelers Championship fantasy lineups because he has multiple top-10s on the course in his last five starts. Meanwhile, Bradley is the winner of the event and was also runner-up in 2019, potentially making him one of the Travelers Championship’s top fantasy golf picks.

Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler has had a tough US Open but has improved on her result in each of her last three Travelers Championship starts, with a fourth-place finish coming a year ago. Is this a week to include the world No. 1 in PGA Tour fantasy golf lineups? Or should you put it away for another week and look elsewhere for PGA Tour fantasy golf options? Before making any 2024 Travelers Championship fantasy golf picks, you should see Travelers Championship fantasy golf rankings from SportsLine handicapper Eric Cohen.

Cohen is an avid golf bettor who has correctly predicted the pre-tournament winner of the 2024 US Open (Bryson DeChambeau +2000), 2024 Players Championship (Scottie Scheffler +550), 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic (Rickie Fowler +1400), 2023 PGA Championship (Brooks Koepka +2000), 2023 Honda Classic (Chris Kirk +3500), 2022 Open Championship (Cameron Smith +2200), 2022 US Open (Matt Fitzpatrick +2500) and 2022 Phoenix Open (Scheffler’s first career victory at +2800).

Cohen also contributes to SportsLine’s YouTube shows, including “Early Edge,” and is the host of the golf show “The Early Wedge.” Anyone who has followed Cohen’s predictions has seen positive gains in their golf choices.

Now, Cohen has ranked his top golfers for the 2024 Travelers Championship. Cohen’s picks are only available on SportsLine.

Travelers Championship 2024 Expert Picks

For the 2024 Travelers Championship, Cohen is backing Brian Harman at 40-1 odds this week. The current British Open champion stood out on this course like few others, despite not having won a victory. However, he was runner-up last year, his third consecutive top 10 at TPC River Highlands. His success here goes beyond that, as he has five top finishes in this event over the last six years. He enters the 2024 Travelers Championship with 13 consecutive rounds under par at TPC River Highlands.

What makes Harman so effective here is that the course is one of the shortest on tour, so Harman’s only real weakness in length off the tee doesn’t hurt him as much here as it does on other courses. Instead, Harman’s exceptional short game should be amplified and he is deadly with a club in his hands, ranking in the top 15 on tour in total strokes, overall stroke average, strokes per round and 3-putt avoidance. Cohen likes this player on this particular course, saying, “On a shorter course, the diminutive Harman should have a big weekend once again.”

On the other hand, Cohen is eliminating Morikawa, one of the favorites, at odds of 16-1. “Every part of his game is working well right now, so why in good conscience would I rate him below par this week? It’s because in his limited history at TPC River Highlands, the American has two missed cuts and a T36 on debut to his credit.”

One of the closest course comparisons to TPC River Highlands is another Pete Dye-designed course at TPC at Sawgrass. The latter hosts the Players Championship, and Morikawa has yet to find success in the PGA Tour’s flagship event. He finished 45th in this year’s tournament and has just one top-40 finish in four career starts there. Thus, Morikawa is best saved for another week, and one should look elsewhere with the 2024 Travelers Championship lineups. See all of Cohen’s Travelers Championship picks at SportsLine.
