The 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic is being held at Detroit Golf Club once again, the 5th edition of the tournament. The 1st round will begin on Thursday morning as Tony Finau looks to defend his title.
Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.
Finau is No. 6 in this week’s Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, making him the highest-ranked player in the field in Detroit. Rickie Fowler, the tournament co-favorite with Finau (+1200), is ranked 9th. With this only being the 5th edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, there’s not a lot of course or tournament history, but Finau, Cam Davis and Nate Lashley are all past winners who will compete this week.
Detroit Golf Club is a par 72 and 7,370 yards, considerably longer than last week’s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, which was only 6,841 yards. Detroit Golf Club is the flattest course on the PGA Tour schedule and is a traditional tree-lined venue without much trouble. Hence, the winning score of 26-under from Finau last year.
