Man, golf season goes by in a flash.

Just like that, we are ¾ of the way through major season, and The Travelers is the final Signature Event of the year.

Add that to the pile of reasons the PGA Championship should move back to August.

You just can’t have all the marquee events end by mid-July – the fans need more action!

However, based on the schedule announcements made yesterday, it seems that the PGA Championship will remain in May.

The best we can hope for is that by introducing matchplay and new courses, they can find a way to make golf more interesting in late July and August, until the NFL takes it’s rightful place as king of all sports every fall.

Who’s in the Field?

Pretty much all of the biggest names on TOUR, because it’s a signature event, with the exception of Rory McIlroy, who’s taking some time off after the U.S. Open.

Here are the key stats for The Travelers:

• Do not just bet the bombers. TPC River Highlands is short at 6,813 yards, and driving distance has barely mattered here historically. Distance only shows a 0.082 correlation with SG Total, while accuracy is much more relevant at 0.314. Think controlled drivers, fairway-finders, and guys who can keep themselves out of weird angles.

• Prioritize approach play, especially wedges and short irons. The strongest ball-striking signal is SG Approach at 0.580, and the course funnels a ton of shots into the 125–175 yard range. Bettors should look hard at players gaining with wedges/short irons, especially from 125–150 and 150–175.

• Putting can absolutely decide the week. SG Putting has the highest correlation on the sheet at 0.642, which makes sense for a low-scoring course where everyone is getting birdie looks. This is not the week to talk yourself into a guy who “just needs the putter to show up.” You probably need it to already be warm.

Keith Stewart’s Picks

Collin Morikawa (+3500 DraftKings)

An injury followed by paternity leave, and everyone is overlooking Collin Morikawa. Fairway accuracy followed by iron acumen, Morikawa has made a Hall of Fame career out of those two skills. Collin is always in the 20s or lower on the odds board. Currently sitting in the mid-30s, not only do we have an incredible course fit, but we have some significant value as well. A T17 in the US Open, Collin can definitely cash in at the season’s final Signature Series event.

Brian Harman (+6800 DraftKings)

Five straight top 10 results at the Travelers, and seven in the last eight starts! Brian Harman has an incredible record at TPC River Highlands. Some are going to look at his iron game and pass on Harman. Losing strokes at the US Open and Muirfield Village does not surprise me for Brian. Neither does gaining strokes on approach for eight straight prior to the Memorial. The driver is on an accuracy run, and the putter gained 4.5 strokes at Shinnecock Hills. Harman’s game is built for this course, and it is time he broke through.

Caddyshanks Picks

Scottie Scheffler (+390 Fanduel)

I won’t rehash the “bet Scottie every week strategy”, but my kids aren’t going to be able to go to college anymore because of it. I am still committed.

Patrick Cantlay (+3300 Fanduel)

Hear me out: how you played at the U.S. Open has no real impact on how you’ll play at The Travelers. So, I’m not concerned about Pat missing the cut last week. In 8 appearance at The Travelers, he’s never finished worse than 15th.

Aaron Rai (+5000 Fanduel)

It’s hard for me to ignore a major champion, who’s in great form, at this kind of price. Rai just finished T11 at Shinnecock, and won at Aronimink in May. TPC River Highlands should be no problem for him.
