Scottie Scheffler will be out to defend his title when the 2025 Travelers Championship gets underway on Thursday at TPC River Highlands. With a victory this week, Scheffler will join Phil Mickelson (2001-02) as the only golfers to successfully defend their title at the Travelers Championship. The 2025 Travelers Championship first-round tee times begin on Thursday at 8 a.m. ET. Scheffler will be paired with newly-minted U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun through the first two days of action, with the duo teeing off Thursday at 1:45 p.m. ET.
Scheffler is the defending champion of this event and is the +280 betting favorite, according to the latest 2025 Travelers Championship odds. He’s followed by Rory McIlroy (+1100), Xander Schauffele (+1200) and Collin Morikawa (+2000) on the PGA odds board. Should you back one of the favorites, or should you target a longshot like Keegan Bradley (+3500), who has finished over par just once in his last 28 rounds at the Travelers?

2025 Travelers Championship predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 Travelers Championship: Rory McIlroy, a 26-time PGA Tour winner and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. McIlroy has been extremely inconsistent since completing the career grand slam with his victory at the Masters in April. McIlroy secured a T-7 finish at the Truist Championship in May, but has finished T-47 or worse in two of his last three starts.
The 36-year-old has admitted to “lacking motivation” in events since his win at Augusta National, which could be the case again this week following the grueling test at Oakmont. McIlroy enters this week’s event ranked 78th in total driving (169), 79th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.071) and 167th in driving accuracy (51.89%). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 Travelers Championship field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
In order to score well at TPC River Highlands, players will need to be accurate with their irons and few do it better than Fleetwood. The 34-year-old Englishman ranks 11th in strokes gained: approach to green (0.608). He’s also been effective on the green, ranking 21st in putting average (1.728), 22nd in one-putt percentage (42.89%) and 29th in putts per round (28.30). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2025 Travelers Championship bets. See who else to pick here. Bettors looking to take advantage of a Caesars Sportsbook promo code can get Fleetwood to finish inside the top 10 at +250 odds.
How to make 2025 Travelers Championship picks
The model is also targeting two other golfers with odds of 35-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.

Agent’s Take: What is holding up NFL Draft second-rounders from signing rookie deals?
Players selected in the NFL Draft began signing at a much faster pace starting in 2012 because of the rookie wage scale implemented in the 2011 NFL collective bargaining agreement after the lockout ended. There are very few negotiable items with rookie contracts anymore. Each pick has a salary floor and ceiling based on draft position. All of these contracts are four years in length, except teams have an option for a fifth year with first-round picks that must be exercised after the third year of the deal.Out of the 257 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, 220 have already signed contracts. Only three first-round picks remain unsigned. Two-way standout Travis Hunter, who was selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, is the only top-five pick who hasn't signed. More notably, the Cincinnati Bengals are engaged in a dispute […]

Richard Sherman charged with DUI: Ex-Seahawks star, Super Bowl champion hit with second such charge since 2021
Getty Images Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman has been charged with driving under the influence following his arrest in King County back in 2024, according to the Seattle Times. Blood-test results from the State Patrol crime lab showed Sherman had a blood-alcohol level of approximately 0.11 the night of his arrest, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Sherman was arrested following a traffic stop around 2 a.m. on Feb. 24, 2024. A Washington State Patrol officer noted Sherman's car was "bouncing back and forth within the lane it was traveling in." The five-time All-Pro cornerback refused a Breathalyzer, but did agree to some voluntary tests. Sherman showed signs of impairment during those voluntary tests, and he was arrested. Once in custody, police obtained a warrant to draw Sherman's blood. The sample, which was taken approximately two hours after the former […]
