Keegan Bradley returns to TPC River Highlands this week as the defending champion of the Travelers Championship, the PGA Tour signature event that runs from June 25 to June 28 in Cromwell, Connecticut. The Vermont native arrives with the best course history in the field and sits at +4900 to win again, and he has already proven he can close on this layout.
No player in the field has been better at River Highlands over the last three years. Bradley has two Travelers titles in that span, and he goes off this week as a New England crowd favorite chasing a third.
Keegan Bradley course history at TPC River Highlands
Bradley has won the Travelers Championship twice in the last three years, taking the title in both 2023 and 2025. That is the kind of repeat course form that betting and DFS players prize at a venue where the same names contend year after year.
His 2025 win was the dramatic one. Bradley started the final round outside the lead and charged late, making a birdie on the 72nd hole to edge Tommy Fleetwood by a single stroke, with Russell Henley also finishing one back. It was the eighth PGA Tour victory of Bradley’s career, and it came in front of the New England fans who treat him as a hometown favorite.
Keegan Bradley 2026 Travelers Championship odds
Bradley opens the week at +4900 to win the 2026 Travelers Championship at DraftKings. He is not near the top of the board, but his price reflects a player who has shown he can win this exact event rather than a longshot with no track record here.
Scottie Scheffler headlines the field as the +425 favorite, with past champion Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg among the other names near the top. Scheffler won this event in 2024, and Schauffele took the title in 2022, so the leaderboard is stacked with players who know how to finish at River Highlands.
| Player | 2026 Travelers odds |
|---|---|
| Scottie Scheffler | +425 |
| Keegan Bradley | +4900 |
Betting and DFS angle on the defending champion
The case for Bradley starts and ends with course fit. Two wins in three years at a single venue is a strong, repeatable signal, and the Travelers is a no-cut signature event, so a backer never has to sweat a Friday exit. That safety matters in both outright betting and in DFS, where a guaranteed four rounds from a proven horse-for-the-course is worth a roster spot even when the salary is not bargain priced.
At +4900 the outright number carries real value for anyone who weights course history heavily, and Bradley is also a logical top-10 and top-20 play given how consistently he contends here. In DFS he profiles as a strong cash-game anchor on a track he clearly loves, with the no-cut format removing the usual variance risk.

What the title defense means for Bradley
Beyond the trophy, Bradley is one of the most familiar faces in the New England sports scene, and a strong week at River Highlands always lands well with the local crowd. As the current United States Ryder Cup captain, he also carries an extra layer of attention into every start, and another deep run here would only add to a season that has kept him in the conversation among the country’s best.
