Travelers Championship betting preview
It's a tournament that has favored the Americans in recent times and that could well continue here.
In total, nine of the past ten winners of this competition have come from the US, with Scotsman Russell Knox the only exception in 2016.
Paul Casey's T-2 in 2018 is also the only man outside the US to finish as runner-up since 2015 - where he also finished in that position.
Scheffler made it three consecutive third place finishes at last week's US Open to keep up his own staggering form.
Scheffler hasn't finished outside the top 12 in any of his last 16 starts, finishing outside the top 10 in only three of those.
His troubles with the putter looked to have disappeared on Thursday and he'll be hoping to maintain that first round form and is a worthwhile favorite.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele was a two-stroke winner in 2022 and he also enjoyed a terrific opening day at the US Open with a record-equaling 62.
He's in the mix in the betting here, too, with Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy joining Scheffler as the golfers at shorter odds.

What bets can I place on the Travelers Championship?
As mentioned above, it's not solely just the outright winner that you can bet on for this tournament.
BetMGM allows you to back the tournament winner, or if any individual will finish in the top 5, 10, 20 or 40 at gradually, lower odds.
You can also select who you think will be leading the tournament after Thursday's first round at much, much bigger odds.
There's the opportunity to back players to make the cut as well.
DraftKings allow you to pick who will be the leading player from their continent (i.e top European, Jon Rahm).
If you think the first round leader will also go on to win the entire tournament, you can select a player for much bigger returns.
And there's the option of selecting your golfer to make a hole in one across the four days at massive odds, too.
