After the drama of the Travelers Championship, attentions this week on the PGA Tour will turn to the Rocket Mortgage Classic with the action coming from The Detroit Golf Club.
The Travelers Championship resulted in a play-off, and the inevitable happened with world No.1 Scottie Scheffler coming out on top to record his sixth victory this season.
Scheffler will be taking the opportunity for a quick rest this week, and with The Open on the horizon, he will want to reset ahead of the last major of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Rickie Fowler is the reigning Rocket Mortgage Classic champion, storming to a final total par of -24 (264) 12 months ago, and the course is primed for low scoring.
Detroit’s fairways are tree-lined and the small Poa Annua greens will usually run at 12 ½ on the stipometer which is the regulation speed for PGA Tour tournaments.
But how will things unfold this week? I have shared a couple of Rocket Mortgage Classic betting tips to pore over ahead of the first tee shot on Thursday.
Rocket Mortgage Classic Betting Tips
I have two tips to bring you for this one, along with a collection of our best betting offers from our online bookmakers, so take your pick from whichever offer suits you best.
Tom Kim to learn Traveler lesson
If anyone has seen the latest series of Full Swing on Netflix, then you will see that Tom Kim has a mature head on young shoulders.
He may only be 22 years old, but he has lofty ambitions and he has a superb all-round game to match.
At the Travelers Championship last week, the American led for 72 holes, only to be edged out in a play-off by the indomitable Scheffler.
With three career wins under his belt, Kim will be teeing it up for the 64th time on the PGA Tour, and of his performance metrics, his driving accuracy percentage (70.16%) puts him in 13th and he will relish it at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Last week, I overlooked Kim in favour of Xander Schauffele. But perhaps with a slightly weakened field, I think Kim will have learned from the lessons of the Travelers and get over the line in 72 holes.
To kick off the Rocket Mortgage Classic betting tips, I’m going with Kim to enter the winner’s circle and he’s the favourite at 14/1 with William Hill.
Cameron Young to set the pace at the top
A steady hand, Cameron Young has missed just one cut from his 16 appearances on the PGA Tour this term.
At the Travelers Championship, propelled himself into contention with a sublime 59, and it was the first sub-60 round on the PGA Tour in nearly four years.
In the end, the American finished T9, but he is capable of going low and he is never one to back away from a shot no matter how daunting.
To wrap things up, I think Young could make an impressive start and lead after Round 1. Should you like the sound of that, then bet365 has stumped up intriguing odds of 30/1 for you to chew on.
