2025 PGA Picks: Rocket Mortgage Classic Odds and Expert Betting Predictions

Sunday was a shame for England's Tommy Fleetwood. He's now winless in 64 tries at PGA Tour regular events. The Brit just couldn't close the show. We're just a few sentences in, and we have something to note already. You can be a great golfer, nearly elite, and not be a winner.

We were on Rory McIlroy to secure our seventh top-five finish in the past 8 weeks. He fell short, however, alongside Scottie Scheffler tied for sixth.

The PGA Tour is due west this week, the Midwest, in fact, for the Rocket Classic. The Detroit Golf Club in Michigan’s Motor City plays host once again for this early Summer event.

Many of the world's best are taking the week off. That's how you know a lot of these golfers are fair-weather guys. When Summer hits in a cold place, those people have the times of their lives.

Keegan Bradley, Sunday's back nine come-from-behind winner at the Travelers Championship, decided to keep his party boat sailing this week. He's sitting about four spots down the betting board at 20-1 from our favorite, Cali's Collin Morikawa.

Two-time Rocket Classic winner, including last year's event, Australian Cameron Davis, sits alongside Bradley at 20-1 as well. The field of golfers may not be that deep, but we have the blistering-hot Ben Griffin and the steady hand of ball-striking wizard Hideki Matsuyama on the links.

Detroit Golf Club - Course Characteristics

Expect another week of low-scoring golf, probably even more so than the 15 under par that won the Travelers Championship. There is a potential for showers on the first two days of the tournament, but winds are expected to be calm throughout the weekend.

Detroit Golf Club is a traditional course lined by trees, with only one water hazard. The greens have a mixed surface and are known to be quite tricky for those lacking a putting prowess. However, they are highly receptive to approach shots.

The fairways aren’t as wide as we saw last week at TPC Highlands. They aren’t narrow, though, by any means. 

Rocket Classic Winner Betting Picks

Ben Griffin: +1600

We discussed golfers who lack the composure needed to close out golf tournaments at the highest level here on the PGA Tour. The Chapel Hill native, Griffin, who we spoke of in the opener, does not belong to that club.

This season has been a breakthrough in the career of Tarhell, who remains a year shy of his 30th birthday. Now ranked 6th in the FedEx Cup standings, Griffin is almost a lock for the Ryder Cup team and is currently playing the best golf of his career.

His form is undeniable, with finishes of 8th, 1st, 2nd, 10th, and 14th in his previous five starts. Griffin's course history at the Rocket Classic is not the best, with scores averaging in the low 30s. That doesn't scare me off, though, as Griffin continues to play courses better than he ever has in 2025.

Taylor Moore: +5500

Texan Taylor Moore is 31 years old and in his prime. He may or may not, however, have recovered from a rib injury incurred earlier this year. Five weeks ago, he finished inside the top twenty at a major Tour event, the PGA Championship from Quail Hollow.

He had a couple of bad outings since then, but his course history here is incredible, with 6th,4th, and 10th place finishes in his only three Rocket Classic starts.

Cameron Young: +2000

Another golfer with excellent course history here at the Rocket Classic is Upstate New Yorker Cameron Young. In only two starts at Detroit Golf Club, he has finishes of 2nd and 6th, which was last year.

Those two top tens represent 50% of all he’s ever had. The other two also came in 2025, though. Therefore, we know we’re getting the best version of him.

He has achieved two 4th-place finishes, one of which came at the US Open, a very challenging event, in his previous three PGA Tour appearances.
