2025 PGA Travelers Championship: Most Bet Winners Without Scottie Scheffler

Most Bet Picks to Win Travelers Without Scheffler

With Scottie Scheffler dominating headlines—and the outright odds boards—many bettors are turning their focus to the “Winner Without Scheffler" market for better value. The world No. 1 has rightfully earned his favorite status, but the rest of the field features proven ball-strikers, elite putters, and in-form contenders with serious win equity. Here are the most bet golfers at betMGM in the alternate outright market this week at the Travelers Championship.

Xander Schauffele (+1200): Iron Precision and Course Pedigree

Xander Schauffele remains one of the most reliable bets on Tour, making 66 consecutive cuts and boasting elite iron play—ranking eigth in SG: Approach (+0.690). He returns to TPC River Highlands with a strong track record, highlighted by a 2022 win and multiple top-20 finishes aside from a lone missed cut in 2018. Ranked 29th inside 200 yards, his precision fits this layout perfectly. With a high floor and past success here, it’s no surprise he leads this market in ticket count.

Sam Burns (+2500): Putter-Driven Momentum Play

Sam Burns is heating up at the right time with back-to-back top 10s at the Canadian Open and U.S. Open. He leads the Tour in SG: Putting (+1.034) and ranks 17th on Par 4s—both critical stats at TPC River Highlands. Bettors love his form and flatstick, and in a market without Scheffler, his upside becomes even more attractive at 25/1.

Viktor Hovland (+2500): Red-Hot and Trending Up

Viktor Hovland surged to a third-place finish at the U.S. Open and already owns a win at the Valspar this year. He’s sixth in SG: Approach (+0.748), ranks 13th inside 200 yards, and has made the cut in all four of his Travelers starts. Combine that consistency with elite iron play, and you’ve got a popular betting target in this adjusted market.

Collin Morikawa (+1400): Elite Ball-Striking Value

Collin Morikawa brings a complete statistical profile into the Travelers. He’s third in driving accuracy (72.42%), fourth in SG: Approach, and fourth in total strokes gained. His past performance includes a 13th-place finish here last year with three rounds of 66 or better. With one of the most accurate tee-to-green games in the field, Morikawa is drawing sharp action at +1400.

Sepp Straka (+2500): Quietly Crushing Stat Sheets

Sepp Straka has quietly put together a stellar 2025 season with five top-10s, including wins at the Truist and American Express. He ranks third on Tour in total strokes gained (+1.497), second in greens in regulation, fifth in proximity, and 12th in Par 4 scoring—an ideal combo for TPC River Highlands. He also had a T10 finish at the Travelers in 2021. At 25/1, he’s a strong sleeper with big statistical backing.
