2023 Travelers Championship First Round Leader Bets: Picks for Jason Day, C.T. Pan, Matt Kuchar, More
Brendon Todd is another morning starter we can deploy in case there ends up being a severe wave bias. He’s a great putter who has some previous success at TPC River Highlands. The 37-year-old found himself deep in contention in 2020, which, at the time, was the strongest field the tournament had ever seen. Todd faltered down the stretch after having to stare down the eventual champion (Dustin Johnson) in the final round, but not before he was able to put an unconscious 9-under 61 on the board on moving day.
Power Rankings: Travelers Championship
That’s always easier written and said than done but guys don’t need to step on drivers this week. If undecided, perhaps respecting that TPC River Highlands annually ranks inside the toughest half of all courses in scrambling will tilt the balance. Its pair of par fives – Nos. 6 and 13 – are deceivingly challenging as a set as well, as they also are among the hardest sets among all courses. Bottom line, the vibe of central Connecticut as summer begins guarantees a timely soft landing after the stresses of last week.

PGA betting: Why you should back Russell Henley for a Top 20 at the Travelers Championship
Previous winning scores for the Travelers Championship have been low. Xander Schauffele won last year shooting 19-under, while Harris English won the year before scoring 13-under. This tells me I need a player who can give himself birdie opportunities and then execute. Henley isn’t particularly known for his putting. However, he has gained strokes on the green in three straight, and in six of his last seven tournaments played.

While this is a Pete Dye track, there has been a considerable crossover between the top of the leaderboards of the Valspar Championship, Riviera and Phoenix over the years. And it goes beyond Bubba Watson, who has won three times at both Riviera and the TPC River Highlands. Paul Casey has experienced success at all three. Ditto with Dustin Johnson. Kevin Streelman and Jordan Spieth have won the Valspar and the Travelers in their careers. I’m not entirely sure why, maybe it’s a shot-shaping issue, but there are a lot of players in the field this week who have experienced a lot of success at those three courses but very rarely played at the Travelers Championship.
