PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.
Once again in 2026, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player must make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.
We continue our 2026 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2026 Travelers Championship, concluding at the 2026 Tour Championship, keeping track of our picks all along the way.
Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to use players.
This week, we have the Travelers Championship, with the PGA Tour heading back to TPC River Highlands for one of the player-favorite events and the last Signature tournament of the season.

It's Travelers Championship week, and the 72-player field this week is taking on a test that can be had, but it does have some bite. We have some very clear horse-for-course plays this week, and it's probably best to stick in that lane if you're not feeling froggy.
We were a week early on Wyndham Clark, which is a shame, but Tommy Fleetwood did a good job at Shinnecock for us.
2026 Travelers Championship One and Done picks
- Justin Rose: Rose has been playing pretty well after the heartache of the Masters, and this is a venue that should work for him.
- Patrick Cantlay: He's one of two great horse-for-course plays this week, and I'm probaby not going to use him otherwise.
- Brian Harman: Harman is probably the top horse-for-course play at River Highlands, as he just loves the place.
- Justin Thomas: Thomas is playing well, has a decent record here and is probably flying under the radar in a lot of leagues.
My pick this week is Justin Thomas.
