Si Woo Kim
With the potential that Si Woo Kim brings to the table every week, the number feels very low, considering we know he has it in his bag to go out and win this tournament. Kim's strong ball striking off the tee and solid play around the greens should give him a leg up on the field this week. In addition, he's been right in the mix in three of his last four starts, and this type of course plays right into what he does well.

Sepp Straka
With this type of course and strong field, we're looking for players who are typically accurate off the tee, which Sepp Straka is. Straka generally has been a stronger putter on bentgrass, another advantage he'll be looking to pounce on this week. His short game has had some trouble, but that shouldn't hold him back this week.

Travelers Championship Odds: +4500
Tom Kim
It feels like it's only a matter of time before we regularly see the youngster Tom Kim win on the PGA Tour. Kim has finished in the top 30 in all three major championships this year, which puts him right on the cusp of more victories. He's found success in these big events in the past, and his ball striking should put him in the mix come Sunday afternoon.

Max Homa
You rarely get one of the world's top golfers at this much of a discount. Max Homa has missed the cut in two of his last three events, but this golf course should play to his strengths and get him back in the mix. Homa is far too talented to be priced at +7000 in this field, and this is precisely the type of dark horse we like to highlight.

Travelers Championship Odds: +7000
Tom Hoge
Back to the well on Tom Hoge again. There have been definite issues for Hoge with his play around the greens of late, but luckily for him, this course should relatively steer clear of that. In previous attempts at this course, the field has hit nearly 70% of greens in regulation, which should play right into the hand of Hoge and present him as a strong value play.

Travelers Championship Odds: +9000
