Travelers Championship: Golf One and Done Picks Strategy

The Travelers Championship features a total prize purse of $20 million, with $3,600,000 going to the winner.

This is one of the no-cut Signature Events and the last official one of the year. The upcoming FedExCup Playoff events in August will have similar prize amounts but progressively smaller fields overall.

Travelers Championship: Overview for One and Done Pools

This analysis serves as a complement to the data in our product, which provides customized weekly pick grades considering factors like:

• The total number of picks you need to make this season.
• The specific tournaments included in your pool.
• The golfers you’ve picked so far.

Here are some notable highlights for the 2025 Travelers Championship and what it means for your One and Done pools:

• 72 Players and No Cut. The event features most of the top golfers on the PGA Tour, as the Top 50 from last year’s FedEx standings, plus some select others based on their play this year, are in the field.
• J.J. Spaun will look to continue his Cinderella run. Spaun is up to No. 20 in our overall player rankings after winning the U.S. Open, as his career year (at age 35) continues.
• Scottie Scheffler is the defending champ. The top-ranked golfer won this event last time out, which is something we can say about many recent events. Scheffler is the pre-tournament favorite, as you would expect.
• Other recent champs in the field. Keegan Bradley (2023), Xander Schauffele (2022), and Harris English (2021) are other recent past champions, while Jordan Spieth won here in 2017.
• Ben Griffin, Viktor Hovland, and Sam Burns try to stay hot. Scheffler and Spaun are near the top of the golfers in Strokes Gained over the last month, and other golfers who have been consistently finishing near the top in recent tournaments include Ben Griffin, Sam Burns, Viktor Hovland, and Russell Henley.
