Travelers Championship Power Rankings Based on Odds (Who Has Edge at TPC River Highlands?)

The Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands officially begins tomorrow and we've got a loaded field ready to compete after a fantastic U.S. Open last weekend.

We've got you covered with a preview of the event, dark horse picks, predictions for the top golfers, and matchup bets, but now I'd like to survey the odds leaderboard to see who has the edge entering the tournament.

Using the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook as a reference, here are power rankings for the top 10 golfers at the Travelers:

Travelers Championship Power Rankings

1. Rory McIlroy (+900)

Rory is enjoying an incredible stretch of golf, finishing in the top 20 in six straight events with four top-five results. He leads the Tour in Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green and Strokes Gained: Total while ranking third in Strokes Gained: Off-The-Tee.

He's got a history of success at TPC River Highlands and is the rightful favorite.

2. Scottie Scheffler (+1000)

The No. 1 ranked player in the world is living up to the billing. In his last 12 tournaments, Scheffler has four wins, two second-place finishes and 10 top-20 results.

He's as consistent as any golfer in the field and could widen the gap between him and the rest of the Tour with another victory.

3. Patrick Cantlay (+1200)

Cantlay has four straight top-15 finishes at TPC River Highlands and placed in the top three in three of his last five competitions.

An accurate, consistent player, Cantlay seems to love the Travelers and it'd be a shock to no one if he emerged victorious.

4. Sam Burns (+1800)

In his last eight tournaments, Burns has two wins, a second-place finish and a T4 result. A poor final round at the U.S. Open pushed him to a T27 placement, but he was in the mix entering Sunday.

Burns is fourth on Tour in Strokes Gained: Total and Birdie Average while ranking fifth in GIR percentage. Because he consistently puts himself in advantageous positions with his accurate iron play, Burns can get hot with his putter at any moment and lap the field.

5. Xander Schauffele (+1800)

The Olympic Gold Medalist has finished in the top 18 for five consecutive tournaments, including a win at the Zurich Classic. He's seventh in Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green and ninth in Strokes Gained: Total, and his accurate play off the tee will suit TPC River Highlands well.

Schauffele's putter can let him down, but if he finds consistency with the flat stick he's as live as anyone to pull off the win.

6. Jordan Spieth (+2200)

Spieth won the 2017 Travelers Championship and finished in the top seven in three of his last six competitions.

He's 10th in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green and 19th in Strokes Gained: Around-The-Green, but only 129th in Driving Accuracy. If Spieth can correct his errant shots off the tee, he'll be in great position to pull off his second victory at TPC River Highlands.

7. Joaquin Niemann (+2500)

The 23-year-old is having a breakout season, ranking eighth in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green, 11th in Strokes Gained: Total, and 13th in Strokes Gained: Off-The-Tee.

Niemann struggled at the U.S. Open, finishing T47, but had three consecutive top-25 finishes prior to that, including a T3 at the Memorial Tournament. If he can avoid errant drives, the Chilean could easily pull off his second win of the season.

8. Keegan Bradley (+2500)

With four top-10 results in his last six tournaments, Bradley is knocking on the door for a big win. He's 22nd on Tour in Strokes Gained: Off-The-Tee and 24th in Strokes Gained: Total and should be feeling confident after a great performance at the U.S. Open in front of his hometown crowd.

These odds are a bit too steep for me, but I expect another solid showing from Keegs.

9. Sungjae Im (+2500)

His odds have fallen a bit since I picked Sungjae as one of my favorite outright bets of the tournament and with good reason.

Im's game fits TPC River Highlands perfectly. He's 29th in Driving Accuracy, fifth in Strokes Gained: Around-The-Green, ninth in Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green, and second in Par Four Scoring Average. With five consecutive top-21 results prior to the U.S. Open, Sungjae looks primed for his second win of the year.

10. Tony Finau (+3000)

Finau is still looking for his first win of 2022 after a disappointing performance at the U.S. Open, but had three top-four finishes in his five competitions prior to last weekend.

He's ranked 16th in Strokes Gained: Off-The-Tee and 15th in Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green, but will need to avoid major mistakes with his inconsistent putter to take down this field.
