 Tom Jacobs picks out his top Rocket Classic betting tips ahead of the PGA Tour event from Detroit Golf Club.
The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that, for its seventh edition, title sponsors Rocket Mortgage have dropped the debt, so to speak, in Detroit and rebranded as the Rocket Classic.


The event also marks the penultimate stateside stop before the PGA Tour heads over to the links of the British and Irish Isles for the run-in to the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, and Rickie Fowler all feature on the event’s short roll-call of champions, as does Australian Cameron Davis, who has two victories to his name, defending again this year after his one-stroke win last time out.
