The Travelers Championship 2025 will begin on Thursday, June 19 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. The PGA Tour Signature Event will have Scottie Scheffler returning to defend his title.

According to PGA Tour, the World No.1 golfer leads the power rankings by a large margin despite having 45 of the world’s top-50 ranked golfers in competition. According to SportsLine, the 2024 PGA Tour Player of the Year winner comes into the weekend with 28-1 odds.For the unversed, Scheffler had a slow start to the 2025 PGA Tour season after suffering a freak home injury in December. However, the two-time Masters champion found his form and managed three wins from 13 wins, including back-to-back titles at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson and the PGA Championship. He went on to win The Memorial Tournament.However, failed to carry the form on to the US Open. Coming off of a T7 finish at the major, the ace golfer will be eyeing another win in Cromwell. It is pertinent to note that Scheffler won the Travelers Championship last year by beating PGA Tour rival Tom Kim in a playoff.Listed below is Scottie Scheffler’s 2025 PGA Tour season so far with earnings:AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – T9 – $535,000WM Phoenix Open – T25 – $69,197The Genesis Invitational – T3 – $1,200,000Arnold Palmer Invitational – T11 – $451,250The Players Championship – T20 – $240,250Texas Children's Houston Open – T2 – $845,500Masters Tournament – 4 – $1,008,000RBC Heritage – T8 – $580,000The CJ Cup Byron Nelson – 1 – $1,782,000PGA Championship – 1 – $3,420,000Charles Schwab Challenge – T4 – $427,500The Memorial Tournament – 1 – $4,000,000US Open – T7 – $615,786Travelers Championship 2025 odds (updated)Rory McIlroy trails leader Scottie Scheffler on the Travelers Championship 2025 odds list.
