One week after a tight and thrilling finish in the U.S. Open, the PGA Tour heads to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., for the final Signature Event of the season, the 2024 Travelers Championship. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite in the 2024 Travelers Championship odds at +360. Reigning PGA Championship champ Xander Schauffele is the +750 second choice on the PGA odds board. Collin Morikawa (+1100), Ludvig Aberg (+1200) and Viktor Hovland (+1800) round out the top five choices.  Rory McIlroy, who's coming off a second-place finish at the U.S. Open, withdrew from the 2024 Travelers Championship on Monday. 

Before locking in any Travelers Championship picks, make sure you see the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf betting and fantasy expert Sia Nejad.

Nejad specializes in betting and DFS in golf, among other sports. He's had incredible success in the outright and first-round leader markets and in betting head-to-head matchups. He also has been strong with his head-to-head matchups since last year's Charles Schwab Challenge, going 49-32-4 and returning 14.31 units over that span.

Nejad also nailed 75-1 longshot Wyndham Clark as the outright winner at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2023. The same year, SportsLine debuted The Early Wedge, and in the first three months of the show, he hit two first-round leaders and three outright winners. Anyone who has followed him is up BIG!

Now, Nejad has been digging into the 2024 Travelers Championship field to find the best value and just locked in his best bets and favorites to avoid.

One surprise: Nejad is low on the chances of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, even though he is the +360 favorite. Another curveball: Nejad is high on Swede Ludvig Aberg, who is +1200 in the 2024 Travelers Championship odds. "Aberg has been dialed-in with the ball-striking, and even though he can bomb it off the tee, he's shown an affinity for shorter tracks such as River Highlands," Nejad told SportsLine.

Nejad is also jumping on a longshot who's priced at more than +3500. This player "has spiked in a huge way with the putter" and could surprise. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any 2024 Travelers Championship picks of your own.

So which 2024 Travelers Championship players should you target or avoid, and which player could bring a huge payday of more than 35-1? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Sia Nejad's top picks for the 2024 Travelers Championship, all from the expert who is 49-32-4 on his last 85 head-to-head picks.
