The Rocket Mortgage Classic is an appealing PGA Tournament event you cannot afford to miss. The action occurs on Thursday, June 27, at the Detroit Golf Club. Tom Kim is the market favorite to win, with a moneyline at +1275.
The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic is coming up soon at the Detroit Golf Club in Michigan. This course plays well for those who can strike the ball strong off the tee, as similar courses like the TPC River Highlands are similar.
Without too many hazards, golfers can strike heavily off the tee without too much concern. However, putting will also be a key factor in closing out holes.
If golfers are not strong off the tee, they just need sharp iron play to get from the tee to green in a desirable fashion. Tom Kim, for example, played well in Connecticut last week on a similar course style, and his iron play was to thank for that.
The tournament is arguably wide open, with many of the best golfers taking time off for the Open Championship soon. However, a few golfers stand out in a slightly weaker environment.
Young is second as the favorite to win this event. He is coming off of a T9 performance at the Travelers Championship, one of his better performances this year. Fans have not seen him this good since the Masters back in April.
He shot an impressive 59 on the third day of action in the last event to give himself a shot at winning. He might be in the best shape to win this one despite coming short.
Noren has had previous success here over the years. In 2021, he recorded a T4 here and a T9 in 2023. At this point, he has course history on his side.
He does not have the power to explode with abundant birdies, but he is consistent. If he can maintain this consistency, then he has a great shot at winning.
MyBookie has the PGA Tour betting odds available for the Rocket Mortgage Classic, with Tom Kim as the favorite. This makes sense, especially since he is coming off of a playoff loss to Scottie Scheffler in last week's Travelers Championship.
Although he missed the cut here last year, he has excellent momentum and has improved since his previous time here. He is due for a win any time now, especially after dueling it out with the top-ranked golfer in the world. Look for his positive momentum to carry over.
