Can Rory McIlroy bounce back after a disappointing dip in form? The golfer is NOW 12/1 to win the Travelers Championship starting today
There is a Place Boost and further Price Boosts on offer for the today's PGA Tour event, as Connecticut's TPC River Highlands plays host to the Travelers Championship.
Firstly, the Place Boost is valued at 12/1 and requires Rory McIlroy to win the Travelers Championship (PLACES: WAS 6 NOW 8).
After winning the Players Championship and the Masters in March and April respectively, McIlroy has had a dip in form in recent weeks that saw him finish 47th at the PGA Championship and 19th at the US Open last weekend.
Can the Northern Irishman bounce back and secure a win? Or, will his run of disappointing performances continue? Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, the Price Boosts require Scottie Scheffler to win outright at 3/1, Scheffler and McIlroy to both finish top five including ties at 5/1, and Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa to both finish top 10 including ties at 5/1.
Scheffler won the PGA Championship and the Memorial Tournament in May, while Morikawa has finished top ten in three of his last five outings.

Musk publicly rips White House aide who prompted his falling out with Trump
Elon Musk has blasted a top White House aide, who reportedly prompted his public falling out with Donald Trump, branding him as a 'snake.' The tech billionaire posted the stinging response to a new report in The New York Post, claiming that Sergio Gor – director of presidential personnel and vetting members of Trump's team – had not vetted himself for the role. 'He's a snake,' Musk wrote on X, weeks after unleashing a barrage of posts against the president himself in an explosive online clash. Musk later apologized to the president. Gor is in charge of vetting around 4,000 members of the executive branch, using old social media posts, political donations and remarks to select those loyal to the president. However, The Post's report found that he has not yet submitted official paperwork about his own background. Such documentation is needed to procure a permanent security clearance. Three sources insiders told the outlet that Gor has not turned in his Standard Form 86, or SF-86 – a hefty set of questions spanning more than 100 pages, that is required for officials who need high-level security clearances. In a statement to The Independent, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt branded the report 'baseless gossip.' Another official added: 'Mr. Gor is fully compliant with all applicable ethical and legal obligations. His security clearance is active, any insinuation he doesn't maintain a clearance is false.' The beef between Musk and Gor allegedly came to a head as the Tesla boss prepared to depart the White House. The pair rivalry intensified Trump's decision to withdraw the nomination of Jared Isaacman – a close friend of Musk's – to be the next administrator of NASA. Rumours spread that Gor was behind the decision and intended it as an 'out-the-door 'f*** you' to Musk.' Gor, according to the Post, developed a grudge against Musk after the tech mogul 'humiliated' him in front of other cabinet members. After the event, Gor would publicly boast every time Tesla's stock plunged, according to reports. That version of events has been disputed, however, with complaints from Republican senators about Isaacman's track record as a Democratic donor also given as a reason for the decision. 'Perception is reality, though, and I'm pretty sure Elon thought the NASA situation was a last insult,' an official told Axios at the time. 'So here we are.'

PGA Tour star confesses to Rory McIlroy power play bid he'll use at the Travelers Championship
Red-hot Ben Griffin looking to keep up power-packed shows in Connecticut for big PGA event Power-packed Ben Griffin is looking to emulate Rory McIlroy and keep driving for success at the Travelers Championship. The American star heads into the event at TPC River Highlands on a blistering run with two wins and eight top 10 finishes this season already. Griffin is improving in all aspects with added power amongst the keys to his recent impressive work against the elite. He explained: 'Recently, I've been looking at more of the driving distance in comparison to other players, so last week at the US Open I was fourth in distance. My goal was to try to get as close to first as I can right now this season by the end of the year. Just been trying to set little mini-goals like that with the stats. It's been a good goal of mine to try to increase that. 'I've watched way too many tournaments seeing Rory McIlroy just overpower golf courses and take bunkers out of play and there's a lot of talk about the ball rollback and other hot topics like that about golf course design and us players, certain players aren't playing courses how they're designed. But, for me as a player, I've got to take advantage of the opportunity to be able to do that. 'It's been really fun to try to train harder and be more conscious of swinging harder and trying to make golf as easy as possible because it's a very difficult game.' Meanwhile, Griffin is ignoring Ryder Cup talk as aims to extend his stunning recent record. He's developed into a major contender week-on-week and enters Connecticut firmly in the mix for a spot in Keegan Bradley's United States side for Bethpage. However, he's not looking beyond the moment and refusing to set targets as he said: 'I don't set goals related to winning or making a Ryder Cup. I won't set specific goals like that. But I'll set goals daily of what I kind of want to achieve on the day and also maybe on, like, a weekly basis of what maybe I need to work on mentally to be in a better frame of mind to play better, certain things like that. 'But nothing that compares me to other players. I won't set goals like that. I only set self goals that I can control. I'm feeling pretty good. My game is in a really good spot. I've had the results recently. It's really nice because this game can be very difficult from time to time, and you can have some good weeks that are maybe 20th. It's nice for me to see some high results in big events, just trying to continue to do the same things I've been doing, continuing to work hard and try to get back in the mix and get in contention again. 'I wasn't in the final group last week and was in my previous two starts, so try to get back into that mode. It's really fun to compete on Tour and be in the mix on Sundays.

Major US airport warns of summer travel chaos
Published: | Airport officials are hoping travelers leave their car keys at home. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — the agency that oversees airports and bridges around the city — is urging flyers to take the train if they're heading to JFK. 'We are once again asking travelers to leave their cars at home and take public transit to the airport,' Kevin O'Toole, the agency's chairman, said. 'Yes, there will be some temporary inconvenience. But it's all part of building an airport our region can be proud of — for decades to come.' JFK, New York's busiest airport, is in the middle of a $19 billion overhaul that will stretch through the summer . Port Authority says the project is about to hit a 'peak.' At the same time, the agency is also expecting record-setting crowds during popular travel months. To ease congestion, they're incentivizing passengers to opt for transit. Suitcase-toting passengers will pay half the normal fare — just $4.25 instead of $8.50 — on the airport's AirTrain this summer. Passengers can catch the monorail train from stops along the Long Island Rail Road and New York's Subway. Flight fears As JFK prepares for a record number of summertime passengers, the rest of the US expects fewer flights. Multiple airlines have announced that they're cutting back domestic flight schedules after seeing a massive slowdown in ticket sales. On Wednesday, JetBlue announced it was slashing dozens of flights from its US forecast as a cost-saving move. Southwest Airlines and United also made similar announcements . The schedule slashings come as America's aviation industry has been tarred by a series of front-page stories, making consumers question safety in the skies. Newark International Airport experienced a series of temporary outages affecting air traffic controllers. Airlines have reported terrifying near-misses . Multiple planes have crashed this year . At the same time, American consumers are cutting their retail spending after battling years of inflation . The toxic mix of decreased flight confidence and lower consumer spending has made airline executives increasingly somber. Heading into 2025, United, Delta, and American all believed they were on pace for record-setting years. Now, nearly every airline is just trying to turn a profit.
