2024 Travelers Championship Forecast and Projections
We’re teeing off for the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, CT. Despite some chances for rain, the weather won’t play a huge role in scoring.
As usual in my golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps soften and slow the course, which helps as much as it hurts. With wind, there’s no helpful side; it’s all negative impact. And the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try to highlight the time frame with the lightest winds and the time frame with the strongest winds to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can then use this to your advantage when making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

Travelers Championship Weather Thoughts
The wind doesn’t ever look to be a major problem at the Travelers, whereas the rain could occasionally cause some delays. I have a very slight lean to a Thursday AM / Friday PM build, because you are avoiding the peak wind time frame of Thursday afternoon, but even that “peak” wind isn’t much to fret. I don’t think the weather will make or break your builds this week.
