Travelers Championship Course: TPC River Highlands

The Travelers Championship returns to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, one of the most popular and entertaining stops on the PGA Tour.

The course plays as a par 70 measuring just under 6,900 yards, making it one of the shorter layouts players see all season. While length isn’t a major factor here, precision, smart course management, and a hot putter are essential for success.

TPC River Highlands features generous fairways, several risk-reward holes, and numerous birdie opportunities that allow players to stay aggressive throughout the week.

The course’s signature stretch begins at the drivable par-4 15th and continues through the water-guarded closing holes, creating plenty of late-round drama. Players who can take advantage of the short par-4s and attack with wedges will have a significant edge.

Despite its reputation as a scoring venue, the course can still punish mistakes. Water comes into play on several holes, and the Bentgrass greens require precise approach shots to create quality birdie chances. Winning scores are often well into the teens or low 20s under par, making this a

tournament where players must stay aggressive while avoiding the costly mistakes that can quickly erase a great round. TPC River Highlands rewards confidence, creativity, and strong iron play, making it a favorite among both players and fans.

Travelers Championship: Players That Can Trip You Up

Chris Gotterup has a game built around power, but this course doesn’t reward that skill set nearly as much as others. He relies heavily on length off the tee, yet his accuracy remains a concern, which can create unnecessary mistakes on a layout that values precision.

His lone appearance here resulted in a 61st-place finish, and there’s nothing in his profile that suggests a dramatic improvement. Despite that, he’s being priced like a Top 15 golfer this week. I’d be surprised if he cracks the Top 20.

Ludvig Åberg continues to be priced based on potential rather than results. His last three finishes of 17th, 39th, and 17th are perfectly respectable, but not the type of performances you expect from someone carrying Top 5 odds.

This course has also been a struggle for him, with finishes of 24th, 27th, and 36th in his appearances here. One of his biggest advantages—elite distance off the tee—is largely neutralized on a shorter layout. Until he starts converting talent into wins, I’m happy fading him at these prices.

Cameron Young looks like a golfer whose best stretch may already be behind him this season. He finished 43rd at the U.S. Open after a 46th-place finish in his previous start, a noticeable drop-off from the form he showed earlier in the year.

The putter has completely cooled off, losing -0.74 strokes gained over his last two tournaments. Combine that with below-average driving accuracy, and there are too many weaknesses for me to trust. This feels like a spot where recent struggles continue.

Travelers Championship: DraftKings Darlings

Taylor Pendrith ($6,400) may not have the flashiest statistical profile, but he checks a lot of boxes for a value play. He’s finished 25th and 23rd here the last two years and comes into the week having made six straight cuts. There’s nothing in the numbers that jumps off the page, but there are no glaring weaknesses either. In this price range, safety matters, and Pendrith offers a reliable path to four rounds and solid DFS points.

Ryan Fox ($6,600) is quietly bringing strong form into the week. He finished 17th here last year and has posted finishes of 23rd, 8th, and 27th in his last three starts. When Fox gets rolling, his combination of power and scoring ability can generate plenty of birdies. With recent results trending in the right direction, he looks like a strong value option once again.

Gary Woodland ($7,600) continues to be one of the best comeback stories in golf. Following brain surgery, he’s put together an incredible season and enters this event off finishes of 7th, 36th, and 6th. His driving accuracy has improved, and the putter has been a major weapon, gaining +0.86 strokes over the last 30 days. With form, confidence, and a well-rounded game, Woodland brings legitimate upside at this price point.

Rest Of Lineup: Justin Thomas $9100, Sam Burns $9300, Tommy Fleetwood $10,300
