After a busy signature event-major championship-signature event stretch, the PGA Tour heads to Detroit and Detroit Golf Club for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Defending champion Rickie Fowler — T-20 at the Travelers Championship last week — and Mr. 59 Cameron Young highlight the field in Michigan.
Since the tournament’s debut in 2019, the winning scores have been 25 under (Nate Lashley, 2019), 23 under (Bryson DeChambeau, 2020), 18 under (Cameron Davis, 2021), 26 under (Tony Finau, 2022) and 24 under (Fowler, 2023). So, like last week in Cromwell, Connecticut, expect a birdie-fest.
Travelers Championship runner-up Tom Kim is the betting favorite at 12/1, followed by Young at 16/1, Min Woo Lee at 20/1 and Akshay Bhatia at 22/1.
Before we cover five picks for the week, let’s take a look at the odds, tournament history and golf course information.
