Ben Griffin 2026 Travelers Championship: Odds, Form, DFS

Ben Griffin is one of the most popular value picks at the 2026 Travelers Championship, and the reason is simple. The precision test at TPC River Highlands fits his game, he arrives in strong form, and his price near +4200 sits well behind the elite tier. He is the kind of accurate, sharp-iron, good-putter profile this short par 70 keeps rewarding.
The Travelers runs Thursday, June 25, through Sunday, June 28, in Cromwell, Connecticut. It is a no-cut signature event with a 72-player field, so Griffin is locked into all four rounds.
Ben Griffin 2026 Travelers Championship odds
Griffin opened around +4200 on the DraftKings board and can be found near +4500 at other shops, which places him in the second wave of contenders behind Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood, and Xander Schauffele. For a player with his recent results, that is a number worth a look.
| Player | Odds to win (open) |
|---|---|
| Scottie Scheffler | +420 |
| Tommy Fleetwood | +1600 |
| Russell Henley | +4100 |
| Ben Griffin | +4200 |
Why TPC River Highlands fits Ben Griffin
TPC River Highlands is one of the shortest stops on tour at about 6,844 yards and a par 70, so distance is largely neutralized and accuracy takes over. The course punishes missed fairways more than most venues, the greens are small poa surfaces that demand sharp wedge play, and scrambling is harder than the tour average. That checklist rewards precise drivers and strong iron players who can putt, which is exactly Griffin’s archetype.
Griffin arrives in good form, with multiple top-three finishes this season and a top-20 at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock. That blend of accuracy and steady recent results is why he keeps surfacing in previews as a course fit rather than a name reaching for a price.
The betting and DFS angle
Griffin is a two-source lean this week. He has been flagged as a featured outright near +4200, and he sits high on the betting-preview boards as a precision fit at a course that fits the profile. At a sub-7,000-yard par 70, the model archetype is clear: accuracy off the tee, strokes gained approach from 125 to 175 yards, scrambling, and putting inside 10 feet, with comparable courses including Harbour Town, TPC Southwind, and Riviera.
For bettors, the placement markets are often the cleaner way to play a precision name like Griffin. Top-10 and top-20 prices give you a wider runway than a +4200 outright at a course where the same accurate types tend to cluster near the top. In DFS, Griffin profiles as a stable mid-tier piece whose floor comes from fairways found and approach play rather than streaky distance.
