Travelers Championship Betting Tips (TPC River Highlands) June 20th-23rd

The Travellers Championship is known for being a bit of a birdie fest, with last year's winner Keegan Bradley winning with a score of -23. The last six Travellers Championship winners have posted a winning score of at least 17 under par, so in my opinion, this means we need to look at the obvious stats like driving accuracy, approach to the green, and putting.

The exciting 24-year-old Swede looks like the next big prospect in the golfing world right now, and his stats and results certainly show that. Standing at 6 ft 3, he not only hits the ball a long way off the tee, but he’s also accurate as well, culminating in him being ranked 3rd in total driving on tour (driving accuracy and distance combined) 

Aberg also looks great in strokes gained this season which again will be a huge asset on a golf course like this. He's currently 11th in strokes gained (approach to the green) and also 14th in strokes gained (off the tee). Both of these stats suggest he's consistently giving himself a look for birdies. His putting is the only slight concern, but he's still above the tour average and sat 43rd overall in strokes gained. If he can improve slightly on his putting this week, I think he's got a great chance of shooting low scores over the 4 days.

Aberg is still looking for his first win this season, but with two second-place finishes, including one at The Masters, and six top-10s in 13 events, he's certainly knocking on the door for his second career PGA Tour victory.

Russell Henley is having another solid season on the PGA Tour. He has five top-10 finishes in 14 events played and only missed one cut. This places him 13th in the FedEx Cup rankings coming into this week in Connecticut.

Henley is also coming into this week on the back of a T7 at the difficult US Open at Pinehurst, where nobody putted better than him. He also finished with a closing round of 67 which wasn't bettered by anybody on Sunday.

His stats also look really solid. He's 8th in total strokes gained this season and 42nd in strokes gained (approach to the green). His putting is also extremely impressive; he's ranked 21st overall in strokes gained on tour.

He doesn't hit the ball a long way off the tee, but he's extremely accurate, 5th overall in driving accuracy. He's also ranked 24th in scrambling and 1st in sand save percentage, two very handy attributes to have when trying to score low.

Overall, I think Henley's stats suggest he can score low on a golf course like this and looks in good, solid form to capture his fifth career PGA Tour victory.

Sam Burns, coming into this week, finished in a tie for ninth at the US Open at Pinehurst, but that didn't really tell the whole story. He played his first six holes on Thursday in fiver over par and shot 73 on both Thursday and Saturday, but he managed two great 67s on both Friday and Sunday, two great scores on a course as hard as that.

The American's stats this season are very solid, he's ranked 16th overall in strokes gained, 69th in strokes gained (approach to the green), 31st in putting (strokes gained),44th in driving accuracy and 8th in total driving. These stats, although not mind-blowing, are all solid enough to be up there in contention come Sunday. 

Burns has 5 career victories to date. Although he's not getting over the line yet this season, he's been knocking on the door and has 6 top 10s in 15 starts.
