2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Following the final signature event of the year, the PGA Tour heads to Detroit for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Detroit Golf Club will once again host this event, which began in 2019. The players will take on the North Course this week.

Below, we look at BetMGM Sportsbook’s 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

With many of the world’s top players taking the week off, Tom Kim is at the top of the betting board following his 2nd-place finish at the Travelers Championship, losing in a playoff to Scottie Scheffler. His odds to win in Detroit are +1200, the shortest of any player. Cameron Young is close behind at +1400, followed by Min Woo Lee at +2000 and Akshay Bhatia at +2200.

Detroit Golf Club is a par 72 and will play at 7,370 yards, and it’s a very gettable course for players. The winning score has been between 18-under and 26-under in the last 5 years, with Rickie Fowler‘s winning score being 24-under last year. It’s a traditional tree-lined layout that does give longer hitters an advantage.

Rocket Mortgage Classic – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 3:18 p.m. ET.

Keith Mitchell (+3300)

Mitchell is a pure ball striker who just needs to have a good putting week to contend. He hasn’t played here since 2019 but with his iron play, he should get plenty of birdie looks. He’s a player who should excel in a tournament where the scores will be low.

Alex Noren (+2800)

Noren has come in 9th and 4th in his last 2 starts in this event, which were in 2023 and 2021. He’s been on fire this season, racking up the top-25 finishes before missing the cut at the U.S. Open. He’s not long but Detroit isn’t a terribly lengthy course so he should be fine.

Rocket Mortgage Classic picks – Contenders

Cam Davis (+5500)

Davis is a former champion at this event, winning in 2021 before finishing 14th and 17th in the following 2 years. His length off the tee will be an advantage, allowing him to cut corners and give himself short irons into greens.

Nicolai Hojgaard (+6600)

Hojgaard made his tournament debut last year and finished 21st, performing well in Detroit. He’s a fairly long hitter and has had a strong season, most recently finishing 50th at the U.S. Open and 35th the week prior in Canada.

Rocket Mortgage Classic picks – Long shots

Jake Knapp (+9000)

Knapp has cooled off after a red-hot start to the year, but this is a tournament that could get him back on track. There isn’t a huge penalty for missing fairways and with his driving distance, he’s set up well.

J.J. Spaun (+10000)

Spaun has played this tournament in each of the 5 years and has yet to finish worse than 33rd. His best finish was 8th in 2022 and even at +10000, he’s worth betting given his course history.

2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

It may not be a designated event like last week’s Travelers Championship, but the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit will feature its strongest field ever this week. The 1st round at Detroit Golf Club begins Thursday morning

Below, we look at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

This is just the 5th year of the Rocket Mortgage Classic since it was added to the PGA Tour schedule in 2019. Nate Lashley won the 1st edition of it, followed by Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Davis and Tony Finau. In addition to Finau, Max Homa, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Sungjae Im and Tom Kim are all teeing it up in Detroit.

Detroit Golf Club will play significantly longer than TPC River Highlands did last week, coming in at 7,370 yards as a par 72 course. The club features a pair of 18-hole courses, but the majority of the tournament will be played on the North Course, with just 1 hole coming on the South Course, according to the PGA Tour. It’s a tree-lined venue that ranks as the flattest course on the PGA Tour calendar, without much in the way of hazards, either. Finau holds the 72-hole scoring record of 262, set in 2022.

Rocket Mortgage Classic – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 1:15 p.m. ET.

Sungjae Im (+1800)

Im has been a bit off for the last 6 weeks or so, finishing no better than T-29 in his last 5 starts, including 3 missed cuts. However, he appeared to regain some form at the Travelers Championship, a birdie fest similar to the one we’ll see this week in Detroit. This event fits Im perfectly, finishing in the top 21 in 2 of his 3 starts here – including a T-8 two years ago.

Tom Kim (+2000)

Kim looked uncertain at times during the Travelers Championship and absolutely dialed in at others. He tied for 38th after finishing 8th at the U.S. Open, firing rounds of 64 and 65 on Friday and Sunday to stay in contention. He came in 7th here last year so the course obviously suits his eye pretty well.

Cam Davis (+3300)

Davis fired a final round 63 at the Travelers to tie for 33rd, a nice bounce-back from 3 straight missed cuts. He now comes to an event that he won in 2021 and tied for 14th last year. He’s been excellent off the tee this season (9th in strokes gained), which should give him an edge this week, but he needs to dial in his irons.

Rocket Mortgage Classic picks – Contenders

Ludvig Aberg (+5000)

I’ll keep betting Aberg as long as he keeps playing the way he has. He already has 3 top-25 finishes in 4 starts this season, going T-25 and T-24 in his first 2 events as a pro. He has a complete game from tee to green, with his only real weakness being his play around the greens. I expect him to have another good week in Detroit.

Austin Eckroat (+6600)

Eckroat has made the cut in 7 straight starts this season and is currently playing some of his best golf after tying for 10th at the U.S. Open and 24th at the Travelers last week. With 3 top-10s and 1 runner-up already this season, Eckroat could be in line for his 1st victory.

Rocket Mortgage Classic picks – Long shots

Nate Lashley (+9000)

Lashley won the 1st edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2019. He’s been somewhat of a mixed bag lately, with 2 missed cuts and a 17th-place finish in his last 3 starts, but he knows this course well.
