Following a highly entertaining major on the West Coast, the PGA Tour makes its way back across the country for the Travelers Championship, an event that’s gone from one of the best-kept secrets on the schedule to what’s now a premier tournament. The evidence of this is all in this year’s field, which consists of a number of top players who just played in the U.S. Open making the trek to take on TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
The top name among them is Brooks Koepka, fresh off a near three-peat in the national championship. Odds are the World No. 1 is in for a low-key week, but don’t tell that to the oddsmakers, as he’s listed as the favorite at 9/1 odds (DraftKings). Next up is Patrick Cantlay at 10/1, which is well-deserved given his remarkable surge from 67th in the world in November of 2017 to his current position of eighth. His second PGA Tour victory came earlier this month, when he fired a final-round 64 to claim the Memorial Tournament.
Others to watch include Phil Mickelson and Jordan Spieth, who will be playing together on Thursday and Friday alongside Marc Leishman. Each member of this threesome got off to promising starts last week at Pebble Beach, but by Sunday they had all faded. Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Jason Day will also tee it up this week.
TV Schedule
The Golf Channel will carry live coverage on Thursday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET, as well as Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. CBS will take over on the weekend.
