One week after a tight and exciting finish to the US Open, the PGA Tour heads to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, for the final signature event of the season, the 2024 Travelers Championship. Last week, Bryson DeChambeau got up and down for par from 55 yards on the 72nd hole to beat Rory McIlroy by one stroke. This week, McIlroy will be in the field after withdrawing on Monday, but the tournament will feature every other player in the top 44 in the FedEx Cup standings.
This week, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite in the 2024 Travelers Championship odds at +360. Defending PGA Championship champion Xander Schauffele is the +750 second pick on the PGA odds board. Collin Morikawa (+1100), Ludvig Aberg (+1200) and Viktor Hovland (+1800) round out the top five odds in this 71-player field. Before securing any 2024 Travelers Championship picks, be sure to See PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf and fantasy betting expert Sia Nejad.
Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He has had incredible success in the outright leader and first round leader markets and in head-to-head betting. He’s also been solid in his head-to-head matchups since last year’s Charles Schwab Challenge, going 49-32-4 and returning 14.31 units in that span. This represents a profit of $1,431 for $100 bettors since May 2023.
Nejad also nailed Wyndham Clark, a long shot at 75-1, as the outright winner of last year’s Wells Fargo Championship. In 2023, SportsLine premiered “The Early Wedge” and, in the show’s first three months, has hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners.
Now, Nejad has turned his attention to the 2024 Travelers Championship field and made his best bets, best sleepers and favorites to avoid. See who they are at SportsLine.
2024 Travelers Championship Experts’ Top Picks
One surprise: Nejad is completely fading away from Scheffler even though he is the +360 favorite. Ranked number 1 in the world, Scheffler is having a spectacular season. He has five wins, including the Masters, two seconds and 12 top-10 finishes in 14 events.
However, at last week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst, Scheffler struggled all week with her game. He made the number cut and finished 41st. “He almost missed the cut last week at Pinehurst and doesn’t provide value at that number,” Nejad told SportsLine.
However, Nejad has a strong chance over Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, who is +1200 on the Travelers Championship odds. The 24-year-old rising star has two seconds and six top-10 finishes in 13 events this season. He is coming off a 12th-place finish at the US Open, where he was in contention in Sunday’s final round.
Nejad likes that Aberg has an all-around game to win this week. Aberg ranks fifth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: total (+1,316). “Aberg was trained to hit the ball, and while he can hit it off the tee, he has shown an affinity for shorter courses like River Highlands,” Nejad told SportsLine.
