The Travelers Championship is a nice rebound for PGA DFS after the U.S. Open where scoring was rather limited to say the least.  TPC River Highlands is definitely susceptible to scoring as evidenced by Jim Furyk’s course record 58 back in 2016.  It plays as a stock par 70 that measures 6,841 yards in length and allows for all different types of golfers to find success here.  However, the more recent course changes have shown that the strategic golfers will likely play well this week.  In order to contend, hitting greens in regulation is a must, but also a solid putter will be required because it will more than likely take 20+ birdies to get the job done.  Lastly, the current forecast for Cromwell, Connecticut calls for manageable winds under 10 mph Thursday and Friday in summerlike conditions.  There is an 80% chance of rain on Saturday with potentially higher winds on Sunday.

The FGI PGA Interactive Model is going to assist us with our lineup building process because it identifies the best golfers with solid Recent Form and whose Key Stats set up nicely for TPC River Highlands.  It also allows us to factor in Course Form as well as an emphasis on Vegas (odds to win).  Below are the FGI PGA Interactive Model Overall weights I will be using this week along with the Key Stats weights for the Travelers Championship provided by our friends at Fantasy Golf Metrics:
