After paying close attention to last week's U.S. Open drama, it would be understandable if golf fans don't carry the same level of passion into this week's Travelers Championship. But when you consider last week's top golfers have flown cross-country to play at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut, this should be a fantastic tournament as well. If you're contemplating wagering on golf this week, then spend a minute learning about all the great Travelers Championship betting promos & bonuses available to you.
Denny McCarthy continued to tear up the TPC River Highlands course, following up his first round 10-under 60 with a 65 on Friday to settle at -15. He is tied for the lead with New Englander Keegan Bradley, the clear people’s choice, who fired a 63 on Friday.
The tournament should provide excitement all weekend with big names such as Rory McIroy, Viktor Hovland Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffeler all within striking distance.
Schauffele, who sits at -8, is the defending champion, winning nearly $1.5 million last year. But the Travelers purse has been more than doubled this year – the $20 million payout matches last week's U.S. Open – so this week's champion will take home $3.6 million.
