Another big week of the PGA TOUR is here, with the Travelers Championship set to go down at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT this weekend.

Golf fans all over the country are looking to take in the action and win a bet (or two) this weekend. We have again used our powerful head-to-head matchups tool to build a matchups parlay at odds of +2235. This golf parlay has been built thanks to our predictive analytics model and the odds on offer at DraftKings Sportsbook.

This is another elevated event on the PGA TOUR, with a prize purse totaling $20 million. There are a few notable absentees from this event, including Jordan Spieth and DimersBOT favorite Tyrrell Hatton. TPC River Highlands runs relatively short when compared to other courses on tour, totaling 6,841 yards and a par-70.
DimersBOT's favorites to win this week include Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Patrick Cantlay, whilst the below bets feature five names for you to track this week.

Travelers Championship Matchups Parlay for 2023
Our parlay for the 2023 Travelers Championship has landed, with five legs totaling odds of +2235 with DraftKings. We also recommend placing a round-robin bet on this, giving you a nice payout if only three or four of the legs end up winning.
Leg 1: Scottie Scheffler (-155)
We're starting off with our top two most-likely winners of the tournament, with DraftKings pitting World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler against World No. 2 Jon Rahm in this head-to-head market.
After simulating the Travelers Championship 10,000 times, our model is favoring phenom Scheffler to perform better, with his win probability being 56.6%. Rahm on the other hand, has just a 38.9% chance of winning this matchup, whilst the tie is at 4.5%.
Rahm would be DimersBOT's pick against just about every other player in this tournament, but against weekly contender Scottie Scheffler, he falls short according to our model.
Leg 2: Rory McIlroy (+105)
Next up is last week's second-place finisher, Rory McIlroy, with DimersBOT taking the Scotsman to beat out Patrick Cantlay this week.
These two are neck-and-neck in our outright winner projections, with Cantlay having just a .2% greater chance to edge out McIlroy for a win, but with such a razor-thin margin, our model has identified the head-to-head value with Rory.
As for this week, our model projects McIlroy with a 48.1% chance of beating Cantlay, who has a probability of 47.2%. The tie has a 4.7% chance of occurring. Rory has beaten Cantlay straight up in their last three shared events and has secured four straight Top-10 finishes.

Leg 3: Wyndham Clark (-110)
Next, we have a matchup that the books have as a toss-up, but DimersBOT heavily disagrees. Wyndham Clark is fresh off his first-ever major win on the PGA TOUR.
At a 54.8% probability, Clark is the far more likely winner of this head-to-head, despite both players being listed at -110, with Max Homa listed at just 40.1% and the tie at a 5.1% chance of happening.
This is a major discrepancy in probability for two players with identical odds, making Clark who is in great form, a no-brainer this week.
Leg 4: Hideki Matsuyama (-130)
Looking at two longshots, we're backing Hideki Matsuyama to beat Harris English.
Both of these golfers have been a mixed bag this year, but Matsuyama has finished no lower than T32 in his last seven events since a pair of missed cuts earlier this year, while English has managed four such finishes in the same timeframe.
Looking ahead to this week, our predictive analytics model has Matsuyama as a 56.2% chance of winning this matchup, with English at just 38.1% and the tie at 5.7%.
Leg 5: Adam Scott (+105)
The fifth leg of this week's PGA parlay is for Adam Scott to beat Jason Day, with our model slightly favoring the underdog in this one.
Jason Day took home the title at the AT&T Byron Nelson last month but has missed the cut in three-straight events since, and he was coming off a missed cut before his win. It's looking more and more like a fluke win for Day, who had the advantage of a depleted field and low-scoring course. Meanwhile, although Scott is also coming off a missed cut, he's far more likely to make it to Round 3 in his current form than Day, given his one MC all year.
We are getting a win probability of 47.5% for Scott as opposed to 46.8% for Young and 5.7% for the tie.
