2025 Travelers Championship odds, predictions: Top picks, bets, longshots to back at this week's PGA Tour tournament
Golf insider Eric Cohen has broken down the 2025 Travelers Championship field and locked in his predictions and best bets
J.J. Spaun bounced back from a five-over par beginning to his final round to birdie the final two holes thrillingly and win the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont on Sunday. Heading into the week, Spaun was a 150-1 longshot to win his first major title, so once again, golf delivered the most unpredictable of outcomes. This week, the PGA Tour heads to Cromwell, CT, for this year's final Signature Event, the 2025 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.
Playing at just over 6,800 yards, this track is shorter than average on tour, and both shorter and longer hitters can find success if they are accurate. Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler sits atop the odds board at +280, followed by Rory McIlroy (+1100), Xander Schauffele (+1400), Collin Morikawa (+1800), with Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, and Ludvig Aberg at +2500. Spaun is +5000 (risk $100 to win $5,000) to win back-to-back tournaments this week. Spaun will be paired with Scheffler through the first two days of action, with the duo set to tee off on Thursday at 1:45 p.m. ET.
Before locking in any 2025 Travelers Championship picks, you NEED to see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf insider Eric Cohen.
The host of Tuesday's Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine's YouTube page, Cohen is an avid golf bettor who correctly predicted the pre-tournament outright winner in eight tournaments over the last three seasons. He correctly identified Justin Thomas to win the 2025 RBC Heritage (+1800) and Ben Griffin (+4500 w/o Scheffler) to win the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge.
Cohen has also called Aaron Rai (2024 Wyndham Championship, +3300), Davis Thompson (2024 John Deere Classic, +2200), Bryson DeChambeau (2024 U.S. Open, +2000), Scottie Scheffler (2024 Players Championship, +550), Rickie Fowler (2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, +1400), Brooks Koepka (2023 PGA Championship, +2000) and Chris Kirk (2023 Honda Classic, +3500) over the last few seasons. Anyone who followed his lead could have been WAY UP!
Now, Cohen has been digging into the 2025 Travelers Championship field to find the best betting value and just locked in his best bets and longshots to back.
This week, Cohen is fading Rory McIlroy, even though he is the second favorite on the odds board. Another shocker: Cohen is high on Brian Harman, even though he's an 80-1 longshot. "He has six top-10 finishes in his last seven trips to TPC River Highlands, including having gained a combined 27 shots tee to green over the last three years combined," Cohen told SportsLine. "Since a T3 at the RBC Heritage in April, Harman's game has been poor but I expect him to get back on track with another high finish in Connecticut this week."
Moreover, Cohen is jumping on several other golfers, including three priced at +3500 or higher! Anyone who backs these golfers could cash in HUGE. You need to see who it is before locking in any 2025 Travelers Championship picks of your own.
