TPC River Highlands (par 70, 6,844 yards, Bentgrass/Poa greens) in Cromwell, Connecticut, has been the home of the Travelers Championship since 1984. This course was designed by Pete Dye and at TPC River Highlands a year ago, Keegan Bradley (-15) won the Travelers for the second time in the last three years. The Travelers is the eighth and final Signature Event of the season, meaning there will be 72 of the PGA TOUR’s best players competing for a $20 million purse and there will be no cut.

Below, I’ll dive into three of my favorite DFS options on DraftKings for the Travelers Championship.

Top Golf DFS Picks for the 2026 Travelers Championship

Patrick Cantlay ($8,900)

This is the cheapest Cantlay has ever been on DraftKings for a Travelers Championship by a whopping $800 and it’s all because he missed the cut last week at the U.S. Open. Cantlay wasn’t the only big name sent home early from the demanding Shinnecock Hills and he only missed the cut by two strokes. Moreover, Cantlay still gained strokes on approach at the major. The 34-year-old had finished T17th or better in five of his previous six starts before the U.S. Open and he should bounce back in a big way at the TPC River Highlands.

Cantlay has finished inside the top-15 in eight straight starts at this Dye creation, including a pair of top-five finishes in the last three years. Cantlay carded a 9-under 61 at TPC River Highlands in 2023 and he shot a career-low 10-under 60 at this venue in 2011. He ranks third in this field in strokes gained per round at TPC River Highlands and he ranks second only to Scottie Scheffler in strokes gained per round at Dye courses.

Albeit a team event, Cantlay won the 2022 Zurich Classic with Xander Schauffele as his partner at the Dye-designed TPC Louisiana. Cantlay’s game just suits Dye venues and he has the potential to contend at TPC River Highlands this week.

Ben Griffin ($8,200)

Griffin has quietly been playing very well. In his last four starts, Griffin has finished T14th, T3rd, MC and T17th. The 30-year-old closed this past week’s U.S. Open with a 1-under 69, which was a rock solid score in the difficult conditions at Shinnecock.

Griffin now will look to build off this at TPC River Highlands, where he finished T14th last season. Griffin has gained strokes on approach in three straight starts and he ranks 24th in SGP this season, which is a strong sign for a scoreable course like TPC River Highlands.

Each of the last four winners at this track have finished the event top-15 in SGP and Griffin finishing inside the top-10 this week is definitely is possible considering his form.

Keith Mitchell ($7,600)

Mitchell finished T6th in his last start at TPC River Highlands in 2022 and he returns to the par 70 on the heels of his best major finish to date. Mitchell finished T4th at the U.S. Open last week and outside of around the greens, he gained strokes in every major category at Shinnecock, including a field-best 1.77 strokes with his putter. Putting has always been Mitchell’s downfall, so seeing him lead one of the best fields in golf in SGP is a huge development for the 34-year-old.

Mitchell has now gained strokes on approach and with his flat stick in two of his last four starts, and as a result, he finished inside the top-five at both tournaments, with the other being a T5 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson last month, which was played at another TPC course in TPC Craig Ranch.

Mitchell should play with a ton confidence this week after his performance at Shinnecock and he brings big upside at an affordable cost.
