Event Preview

The relentless PGA Tour schedule continues this weekend, as the Detroit Golf Club hosts the Rocket Classic. This event has been contested since 2019, with the field competing across 7,370 yards for their share of the $10 million purse. Tony Finau holds the tournament record, finishing 26-under when landing success in 2022.

Cameron Young will be the solid contender at the top of the betting this weekend after an excellent recent showing at The Open Championship when taking a solo second. That was a welcome return to form, and it is worth noting that he was runner-up at the Rocket Classic back in 2022.

Si Woo Kim and Chris Gotterup both bring reliable form into this weekend, with the former achieving personal best showings at the Scottish Open (T9) and Open Championship (T6). Russell Henley’s accuracy of the tee should ensure that this course plays to his strengths, and he has finished in the top ten on five occasions in 2026.

A bounce-back by U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark shouldn’t be overlooked this week after he failed to make the cut at the recent Open Championship. Jake Knapp is also building momentum after returning from injury with a T13 at the 3M Open.

Rocket Classic Picks

The narrow preference when making Rocket Classic picks is for 2023 champion Rickie Fowler. The American has been in excellent recent form with back-to-back top-20 finishes, and this is a course that he typically excels at.
