Murrells Inlet's Greatest Cruises

My girlfriend’s and I celebrated a birthday on this enchanted sunset cruise. Our Captain was professional, lovely, knowledgeable, engaging and fun. The boat is a beautiful vessel. A perfect BYOB mermaid sunset adventure! Thank you for such a memorable experience! A jewel of Merrill’s Inlet! Highly recommend for a romantic evening, group of friends or families with children. They have a special adventure for everyone!

"Our 5 year old absolutely loved it and for a month afterward has been asking about every other day if we can go again! Our 2 year old was a bit young and not sure what to think. It was a full adventure for the kids, finding things onboard, a water cannon fight with a "pirate," celebrating with fruit juice, etc. The crew had amazing energy and made sure all the kids had a fantastic time! I can't recommend this enough for people with young kids. I'd estimate it's best for 3-8 year olds. And it was a fantastic value. For our kids, this was the highlight of a week in and around Myrtle Beach."

"What a peaceful and pleasant evening cruise! The Captain and his Mate were very hospitable and meet our every need. The scenes were breathtaking and not only did we see the sun set but we captured the full moon arising and it was beyond words. Of course God is the master of the sun, moon, stars and our lives but He outdid Himself on this one and these folks were used of Him to escort us into the scene."

Top 5 Riverboat Tours on the Grand Strand

Everyone knows about the Myrtle Beach oceanfront. Featuring a 60-mile stretch of white sand beaches, the Grand Strand attracts millions annually to soak up the sun, sand and surf where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Carolina coast. But there’s another side to local life, one that is accessible only by boat through the backwaters around Myrtle Beach. Here are the top five riverboat cruises to take if you want to see a different side of the Strand:

Barefoot Princess : Take a relaxing ride down the Intracoastal Waterway aboard this luxurious riverboat cruise. Moored at the Barefoot Marina behind Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, the three-story, 64 x 24 foot vessel takes up to 130 passengers for an amazing tour of a side of the Grand Strand most vacationers never see. Check out the views of beautiful homes on both banks and the scenic sight of sunset to the west from the observation deck, or enjoy music and dancing in the air-conditioned areas on the first two floors. The Barefoot Princess offers three different tours the Sightseeing Cruise, Sunset Cruise and Dinner Cruise. Reservations can be made at www.mbriverboat.com .

Brookgreen Gardens : This former rice and indigo plantation turned botanical garden is best known for the beautiful works of art and nature that adorn the 9,000-acre property, and the Lowcountry Wildlife and Petting Zoo and Gullah Cultural Center are also popular attractions among guests. But the best-kept secret about this Murrells Inlet destination are the riverboat cruises that are offered to guests during the fall months. Visitors board small boats to tour the tidal creeks and rivers that border the property. The Big and Little Pee Dee Rivers, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Waccamaw River converge nearby to create swampy and scenic photo ops, and passengers can also see the old rice fields, alligators and rare birds of prey. For more information, visit www.brookgreen.org .

Plantation River Tours : The South Carolina Lowcountry is filled with old plantation homes, rice fields, slave quarters and other relics from the state's antebellum history, but most were built on the water and are reachable only by boat. The rivers that surround the Waccamaw Neck area in Murrells Inlet offers access to another place in time, and Plantation River Tours has a variety of boats and tours to choose from. The Waccamaw Lady is a 60-foot pontoon boat that carries passengers on a lazy ride past several points of interest, and your captain/tour guide Dale Prox is a local historian with a wealth of information about the area. The Waccamaw Cooter is an elongated air boat that takes passengers for a wild ride through the backwaters of the Lowcountry. For more information, visit www.plantationrivertours.com .

Rover Boat Tours : Why take a riverboat when you can take a rover boat? This 40-foot pontoon boat sails out of Winyah Bay in Georgetown and carries passengers for a slow ride along the coastline for views of bird sanctuaries, lighthouses, shipwrecks and the abundant wildlife that call the Lowcountry home. This 3 to 4 hour trip offers a unique view of the waters and wetlands along the barrier islands of the South Carolina coast. For more information, visit www.roverboattours.com .

Wacammaw River Tours : The Waccamaw River is a winding waterway that runs from Lake Waccamaw just over the North Carolina border to Winyah Bay in Georgetown, SC. Consisting of dark waters that wind through dense woodlands and pristine wetlands, the Waccamaw offers a scenic view of the Grand Strand's natural side. Among the many sites passengers can encounter are a national wildlife refuge, former rice plantations and the Wacatee Zoo, where it's not uncommon to see an elephant taking a bath in the river and other exotic animals roaming the shore. Enjoy a glass of wine while you wind down the Waccamaw and soak up all the sights and sounds. For more information, visit www.waccamawrivertours.com .

Come explore by boat, and see what all there is to offer! Enjoy your stay at Paradise Resort, Myrtle Beach!

Forest & Carson were personable, knowledgeable & fun! I 100% recommend them & would take our family on their cruise again. Thank you for a fun time!

We had a wonderful time on our dolphin cruise with Forest and Spencer. The pair made our trip fun and entertaining all while feeling totally safe with my kids on the boat. Both were accommodating young men, we will be back with our next trip.

Departs daily from the closest port to the ocean. more fishing time and less riding time.

I had a great time going out with Little River Fishing Fleet this past December and went on a 1/2 day specialty fishing trip. I wasn't expecting to catch much, but I was able to catch 3 keeper black sea bass and a spottail pinfish along countless other undersized black sea bass. The captain was very knowledgeable and made sure we were on productive fishing spots. I highly recommend this fishing charter company as they put you on the fish and have friendly and helpful staff!

Captain put us spot on the fish. We got a fish or two at the time of dropping the line. We all caught our limits and then had to throw back. Loved my trip ❤️.

Me and my boyfriend had a blast today on our 3/4 day with captain Josh and First mate Dawson. With taking two different charters out on our trip this one was by far the best Josh and Dawson were amazing to us and everyone else on board constantly helping everyone with unhooking fish and baiting. We will for be booking another trip with these gentlemen again hopefully in the near future. Not two mention we saw dolphins so we got a two for one deal.

This is hands down the best fishing experience I’ve ever had. We took our 12 year old son for his birthday on a 1/2 day trip. The crew and fishing spots were amazing. They were hands on and helped us every bit of the way. Kept our hooks baited, educated us on the types of fish we caught. They remembered each of our names and just made the whole trip fun! Highly highly recommend this charter!!! Thanks little river fishing for this great memory!

I highly recommend Little River Fishing Fleet for anyone looking for a great affordable fishing experience. We went on a 4 hour shark fishing charter and as you can see by the picture, it did not disappoint. Captain Brandon did a great job placing us on the fish. Additionally, deck hand Ricky was as great of a deck hand as you could expect. We never had to wait for more than a few seconds before he was there to help. I will definitely be booking another charter with them next time I’m at Myrtle Beach.

Great trip. Lots of catches. Crew was very helpful. Several people got sea sick, so definitely pre medicate yourself. We had a great time, would definitely recommend!

We had captain Lee and first mate Dalton. We did a half day tour on 9/20/22. Those guys were awesome. Put us on a good slew of fish. Great guys easy going easy to get along with and very dedicated to making sure we had a good time and caught fish. 10/10 can’t thank y’all enough we will be back for a longer charter with Lee and Dalton. Thanks y’all !

Was very pleased with this company, but especially our captain and mate Brandon and Ricky. These two went way above and beyond helping out party. We had a elderly disabled person with us and these guys helped and made things happen to ensure that our physically disabled person was safe and able to participate. My daughter asked about seeing dolphins and sharks. Well we fished hit tons of mackerel fallowed a shrimp boat and saw dolphins swimming, then came the best yet (see photo). I can’t brag on these guys more.

My friend and I went on the half day specialty fishing tour with Captain Lee and Alex, we had a blast! I had never fished before and it had been a few years for my friend, and they both made us feel safe and comfortable. Captain Lee and Alex were there to assist putting bait on the hook and cheering us on when we caught any fish. Couldn’t have been a better charter, we recommend for ALL!! Tip the crew they deserve it!

Good prices for fishing. Also have store for clothing, fishing, scuba diving, etc.

Outstanding experience. Mates were friendly and very helpful. Did 1/2 day and 3/4. Both good trips but I highly recommend 3/4. Caught so many fish.

Me and my girlfriends family went out today for our first ever ocean fishing experience and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out even with a boat FULL of people they were attentive helpful and very kind making sure every last one of us was having a good time and trying to make sure we all caught fish Corey even cut our blood minnows in half to increase our chances to hook one !!!all of them were absolutely amazing we WILL BE BACK 10/10 experience !!!

Highly recommend! This is our second year using little river. We requested Captain Brittney to take us out again and she did great again! She's super family friendly and made sure my 10 year old son was catching fish all day! We also had captain Lee go with us this time and he did great as well. He helped my son get a nice barracuda. These captains really know their stuff. Our group all got sea sick and they still took care if us and worked with us. we had a blast. Hopefully we will be able to get another vacation planned with them.

First time we had a private charter. Great time and Josh and Johnny were very informative and helpful. We definitely had enough for supper and then some.

Josh and Dawson were the nicest guys who were always helping with the poles and bait, moving us to better spots and cutting the fish!

We had an amazing trip, we booked the 6 hour morning trip and had a blast. Ricky and Brandon did everything in there power to ensure a safe and fun trip Ricky was always there to assist, and when brandy was not steering the boat he was also there to help, a couple of great guys that have a true passion and love for what they do. If you guys are reading this, thank you again.

Captain Josh and his partner Dawson were amazing at what they did, and they were very friendly. We went out with them on a Saturday on their 6 hour trip and we had so much fun we went out with them again on the following Tuesday on the 11 hour trip. Both experiences are ones we will never forget!!

Amazing time aboard the Safari IV. My son can’t stop talking about it and can’t wait to go on another fishing trip!!

We had an awesome experience! It was my kids’ first deep sea fishing experience and the staff made it an exceptional experience for them! Ask for Captain Brandon and Dawson if you can!

Great day of fishing with Captain Josh and Lee. Kids had an amazing time and caught a bunch of fish. Highly recommend!

Fishing was Super Fantastic Saturday May 2, 2020. Captain Robert and the frist mate Ricky make a great team both are very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. Me and my buddy Eddie were cranking and yanking some really nice fish. I caught a mix bag of fish and a very nice Grouper/ while Eddie caught a nice Amberjack and a mix bag of fish. Five Stars to you guy's!!!

We would definitely recommend Little River to anyone. We took a half day charter for our youngest sons birthday, our crew was Capt. Alex and Micheal on the blue runner. They where hands down a great team and made his birthday one he will remember for sure, on top of all the knowledge they had they also maintained a very clean work and safe environment. They made it a priority to be hands on and helpful for all of us, our only regret was not booking the entire day. Thanks to everyone at Little River Fishing Fleet for making our charter one to remember!

My Daughter and I Went out on Saturday April 20th on there 3/4 day trip, the weather was beautiful. The boat and crew were great, cant say enough about the crew, they were all friendly and helpful, boat was very clean comfortable and we had a great time. Caught a lot of fish, Will definitely be back to see the Little river folks soon. Thank you for a great day. God bless

Michael and the rest of the crew were great

Rex and Josh were awesome!

Excellent experience!!! I booked a private charter with the blue runner. the captian and mate was both amazing. They kept the hooks baited and removed all the fish for us all. The mate made sure my 9 year got some large fish. Best charter we have been on by far well worth the money. Would love to go again.

We took our very first fishing trip in May. We had a fantastic experience ! Our Captain was Brittany and she made sure we brought home some fish! Kelly was the Mate for the day and his enthusiasm for each one of us when we caught a fish was infectious! We had so much FUN! The crew made it their job that we did! It was relaxing and enjoyable! An experience everyone should enjoy! Go on… GO FISHING! Give them a call for an awesome adventure! We love Little River Fishing Fleet!

Great 4 hour trip with Captain Brandon and crew member Ricky. Brandon moved the boat several times to make sure we kept catching fish. They were very attentive to ensure they kept bait on our hooks and removed the fish as fast as we could catch them. There were 20 people Caught about 35 fish during our 2 hour fishing and had 5 we could keep. Sea bass and pig fish. Great time for the monet. I would do it again

We had a great fishing trip and would totally go again. The water was choppy when we first set out, so mostly everyone was soaked by the waves but no one seemed to mind too much. It was much calmer going back in the evening. The boat took us somewhere 18-20 miles off shore.

What a great group of captain and mates they put in a 100% .. will be back again and again

Frequently Asked Questions

Do i need a fishing license.

You are covered under our fishing license. Also, we’ll provide the rod, reel, tackle, and bait. You provide the smiles and sense of adventure.

What am I going to catch?

On the shorter trips, you’ll catch a lot of fish, but due to federal regulations, you’ll have to throw a lot of them back. The further out the trip goes, the more fish you are able to catch, keep, and bring back to the dock with you. Our experienced Captains will always do their best to put you on the fish. Call us in the office to find out what’s currently being caught.

Where does the boat depart?

We have two different departure points. The Little River waterfront and the Calabash waterfront. Both are close to the inlet and allow for maximum fishing time. We’ll give you exact directions when you book your trip, or you can call us for more specifics at 843-361-3323

Is this family friendly?

Yes! We love to take kids fishing, however we don’t recommend that children 4 and under venture out onto the high seas for personal safety reasons. With a mate to help bait hooks and remove fish, this is the perfect chance to take those above 4 out for a day on the water.

Let’s talk about your next Deep Sea Fishing Adventure.

We have decades of experience putting people on the fish, and we offer several options to make that happen. From the budget friendly, classic head boat trip, the specialty bottom fishing, trolling, or shark trip, to the fully customized private charter. We have you covered. And, one of the things that we do well is putting like minded people together to reduce the cost, and still provide that private charter feel. Send us a note below about what you are looking for and we’ll get back to you quickly.

30 Best Things To Do In Myrtle Beach

Plan a something-for-everyone weekend at the beach.

Valerie Fraser Luesse has been affiliated with Southern Living and its parent company since 1988. She has written some 30 Southern Journal essays for the magazine and extensively covered the unique cultural pockets of the South, including Acadian Louisiana, the Mississippi Delta, South Florida, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. She released her fourth Southern novel with Revell in 2021.

• Ocean Views
• Beach Bar Scene
• Handmade Beers And Spirits
• Diverse Dining Spots
• Local Shops
• Music, Food, And Fun

Say the words " beach trip " to half a dozen people, and they are likely to summon distinct vacation visions. Some are sleepy and sun soaked, while others are packed with outdoor adventure or shopping excursions. That's why it's key to pick a place that can satisfy everyone's wish list. As the anchor of a 60-mile stretch of Grand Strand waterfront communities, each with its own unique appeal, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina , is perfectly positioned to cater to just about any crew's ideal coastal escape. There's plenty to do in any season, but the best months to visit Myrtle Beach are June through August for perfect beach weather. Visit in the fall to avoid the crowds and still find lots to do. Innovative epicurean experiences? Check. Fresh seafood ? Check. Boutique-shopping districts loaded with charm? Check. Lush landscaped gardens, moonlit kayak tours, and live music spilling out into the streets? Check, check, and check. Visitors can plan a fun, affordable trip to Myrtle Beach. For cheaper rates, look for rooms and specials in the off season.

With so much variety offered, all you need to bring to ensure a good time is plenty of SPF—and a solid game plan for your vacation. That's where we come in. Check out these things to do for a perfect Myrtle Beach trip.

Wake Up To Ocean Views

Book your group into a beachside escape.

If having a central location to slather on sunscreen together in the morning (or sip nightcaps in your pajamas at day's end) is key for your group, book a stay at the Island Vista Resort, where the multi-room suites sleep up to 10, and feature amenities such as full kitchens, cozy living and dining areas, ocean-view balconies, and laundry machines. It's billed as "the only oceanfront hotel for nearly a mile in either direction." So, with big buffers separating the resort's wide, clean beach from the nearest hotels, it feels fully removed from the rowdy crowds and miniature golf madness of the city's more densely developed areas.

islandvista.com , 6000 North Ocean Boulevard, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577

Indulge At A Four-Star, Oceanfront Resort

Two miles northeast of the Island Vista Resort, there's also Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes, which is the gold standard of the Grand Strand. Here, the lack of large-group lodging options is offset by luxe, recently refreshed rooms and a quiet, full-service spa . Pair beach views with spa experiences, and you're setting yourself up for a fantastic vacation. No matter where you stay, be sure to pack the essentials: lightweight layers, a wide-brimmed hat, and plenty of SPF. The town's vibe is casual, but you'll want to bring a few nicer outfits for nights out.

Tour The Beach Bar Scene

Hit the boardwalk bars.

Start things off on a high (make that high-energy) note with a cruise through the open-air bars clustered near the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, with their big people-watching patios and party-time vibes. You'll find all the daiquiris and piña coladas you could hope for, but a trip here isn't all sugary frozen drinks and oversized fishbowls. It's worth veering slightly off the main drag for something with a little more personality and polish too.

Duck Into A Speakeasy For Lowcountry Cocktails

The Prohibition-themed Strong Waters Craft Cocktails & Kitchen, which flies fittingly under the radar, rotates a seasonal menu of local-leaning microbrews but always keeps two in-house, barrel-aged cocktails on tap, along with a Bartender's Choice option for indecisive—or adventurous—tipplers. They say it's "a speakeasy where the drinks are as strong as the current in the ocean," so come prepared for a good time. It's also a hub for live music and fantastic sandwiches and burgers.

Raise The Roof With Sunset Views

Closer to the water, find RipTydz Oceanfront Grille & Rooftop Bar, which is owned by the folks behind Wicked Tuna in Murrells Inlet. With over 500 seats and 17,000 sprawling square feet, RipTydz has room for everyone. It raises the (beach) bar with a menu of super-fresh seafood (including raw bar selections and seafood towers), a sprawling rooftop restaurant that transforms into a club, and a top-notch perch for sunsets.

riptydz.com , 1210 North Ocean Boulevard, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577

Taste Handmade Beers And Spirits

Tap into local brews.

When it's time to enjoy a sip of a local brew, make your way to Grand Strand Brewing Company, which opened in 2021 and is the city's exciting destination for craft beers, sampling (which you can do indoors and out), a taproom turning out handmade beers , and tasty eats from an on-site kitchen that invites local chefs to cook and share. You'll find a bit of everything here, including sours, pilsners, and stouts with local flair.

grandstrandbrewing.com , 819 North Kings Highway Unit 101, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577

Hang At A Beer Garden

Head to Barefoot Landing to check out Crooked Hammock Brewery, which draws beer and food lovers from near and far with its restaurant and beer garden. It's a family-friendly hangout with craft beers; ribs, cornbread, and giant pretzels on the menu; seating both indoors and out; fire pits for cool nights; hammocks for hanging out; and places to play for kids and adults. (Corn hole, anyone?)

Sip Locally Sourced Spirits

For even more fun, there's also Twelve 33 Distillery, a craft production distillery that sources locally and offers tours and tastings. Check out the recent releases to find out what delicious spirits they're cooking up on the coast. All of the grains and other ingredients they use to make their handcrafted spirits come from local farms. In addition to tastings, you can also book guided tours to learn about each part of the distilling process.

Try A Wine Tasting

There's wine to be found on this slice of coast too. Sidle up to Duplin Winery in North Myrtle Beach. Located near Barefoot Landing, here you can sip and listen to live music, or enjoy a wine tasting with friends where you'll sample 10 different wines. In the area, there are also tasting rooms at La Belle Amie Vineyard, Carolina Vineyards Winery, and Wine Therapy .

Choose From Diverse Lowcountry Dining Spots

Dine on the daily catch.

In the evenings, locals descend on the lively joints along Main Creek in Murrells Inlet. Many of these spots employ their own fleets of fishing boats to deliver the daily catch. Don't miss Dead Dog Saloon, which is beloved for its live music and seafood; The Claw House, a New England-style lobster house and raw bar; and Drunken Jack's, long known for its fried seafood platter and often legendary wait times.

Weigh All The Waterfront Options

Speaking of waterfront dining , there's no shortage of options, attitudes, and dress codes to choose from, and you and your traveling companions can easily divide your time between fancier environs and flip-flop–friendly joints. For brunch, there's 60-year-old Myrtle Beach mainstay the Sea Captain's House, a 1930s home with a grassy lawn that backs up to the sand. Regulars go for Crab Cakes Benedict and the restaurant's signature She Crab Soup.

Find Your Favorite Flavors

Chef-owned 42nd Street Bar and Grill serves apps, salads, seafood, steaks, and more with Asian and European flavors, from shrimp gyoza to beef and mushroom Wellington. Another favorite located on the Grand Strand is the Opa Opa Taverna & Bakery, which can be found in the Grand Dunes village shops. Don't miss the Greek classics on the menu, including baklava, spanakopita, and tiropita.

There are worthy exceptions to the always-eat-on-the-water rule. Hook & Barrel in Myrtle Beach is a new sustainable-seafood restaurant from cookbook author Heidi Vukov. The eco-friendly restaurant uses local produce to craft coastal dishes. On the menu, you'll find she crab soup as well as smoked shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and cioppino.

What are the benefits of owning vs. renting?

Owning a home can help you build equity, offers tax deductions and fixed monthly payments, and gives you a sense of permanence. When you rent, your lease sets the price, your place isn’t really yours, and there are no tax benefits or financial freedom. There are many benefits to owning a home that you can’t get with renting.

Benny & The Bets: Is Strokes Gained: Energy a factor at Travelers Championship?

Golfbet News

Change Text Size

As U.S. Opens can be, last week at Pinehurst No. 2 was an absolute grind. Forget playing 72 holes on an extremely difficult track, just walking a few holes at a time as a spectator took its toll given the high heat index.

Off the back of a tough setup at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, it became even tougher in North Carolina. And even the best were feeling the effects.

“Playing the week before, a lot of it depends on the golf course," world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler said from Pinehurst. "And I think last week with the golf course the way it is, it probably was not the best prep work for me coming into another really challenging event."

Remember – he WON at Muirfield Village. But he acknowledged two weeks of grinding in a row is tough. And now, Scheffler and company have to back up for this week’s Travelers Championship, the last Signature Event of the season.

While the script flips from grind to birdie-fest at TPC River Highlands, that doesn’t mean fatigue from the last two weeks – and for some three weeks – won’t come into play.

“I'd say it's (more) mental, but I think there's definitely a physical aspect to it,” Scheffler said of playing tough competition in back-to-back weeks. “(Sunday) I made more of a conscious effort to make sure I got kind of my legs going in the swing. That's maybe something I'll assess in the off-season, as well.

“I feel like I've played a lot of my best golf not late in the season, maybe a bit early in the season, so that's maybe something to look at, whether or not I need to get more mental rest as the year goes on or maybe need to have better physical endurance. I'm not really sure which one it is.”

As the +350 favorite with BetMGM Sportsbook, Scheffler has the statistical profile to dominate at TPC River Highlands. But will the aforementioned fatigue trip him up? None of his 11 TOUR wins were after playing three consecutive weeks.

The last time Scheffler played three weeks in a row was the 2023 FedExCup Playoffs and he was T6 at the TOUR Championship. He also played three in a row mid-season, with the last start being the Memorial. He was third that week thanks to diabolically bad putting. Not once this season has he played three weeks in a row – until now.

We can look at the next four players on the odds board as well to see how they’ve fared in the third week of playing consecutively.

Xander Schauffele (+750) has had a three-week run three times prior this season. He was T54 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, T5 at the Valspar Championship and T23 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, when paired with Patrick Cantlay.

Cantlay (+2000) played the same run of three into Zurich Classic for the T23 finish and also did an earlier run of three, culminating in a T11 at Pebble Beach.

Collin Morikawa (+1000) was T23 at the Zurich Classic after playing the Masters and RBC Heritage the two weeks prior while he also went on a three-week run into the Charles Schwab Challenge and finished fourth at Colonial. Interestingly the middle week was a major – the PGA – where he contended.

Ludvig Åberg (+1400) has just one three-week stretch this season, playing either side of the Masters. He was T10 at RBC Heritage to finish off the run.

While none of these above stars have won this season on the back of three or more consecutive starts, others have pulled off the feat.

Matthieu Pavon (Farmers Insurance Open) and Taylor Pendrith (THE CJ CUP Bryon Nelson) plus the team of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry (Zurich Classic of New Orleans) won in their third straight start.

Hideki Matsuyama (Genesis Invitational), Akshay Bhatia (Valero Texas Open) and Chris Gotterup (Myrtle Beach Classic) all won in their fourth consecutive start.

But the Iron Man award goes to Robert MacIntyre, who took out the RBC Canadian Open in his sixth straight week on TOUR.

While we are in a unicorn situation of Signature Event – major championship – Signature Event, we can try to look at recent history at the Travelers to see if rest prior matters.

Last season Keegan Bradley missed the cut in the U.S. Open before coming out and winning the Travelers Championship. Does this give the likes of Viktor Hovland and Max Homa a bit of an edge this week?

In saying that, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Min Woo Lee and Rickie Fowler all finished inside the top 13 at Travelers after being inside the top 5 at the U.S. Open a year ago.

In recent years Harris English and Chez Reavie parlayed third-place finishes at the U.S. Open into wins at TPC River Highlands.

I’m going to lean on the side of form rather than worry about fatigue. It will knock out someone, but not all. Scheffler is the player I am staying away from but my other picks, I’m hoping a few ice baths and recovery sessions have them ready to continue their form.

I’m adding Schauffele, Matsuyama, Cantlay and Pavon from the U.S. Open top seven on my card this week along with Brian Harman and Keegan Bradley who played decent without being in the furnace of contention.

Benny's bets

• Outright: Xander Schauffele +750 , Hideki Matsuyama +2200
• Top 5: Patrick Cantlay +333
• Top 10: Brian Harman +250
• Top 20: Keegan Bradley +125
• Top 30: Matthieu Pavon +110
• Longshot: Akshay Bhatia – Sprinkle markets: Outright +8000, Top 5 +1100, Top 10 +500, Top 20 +200, Top 30 -120.
