2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic: PGA Tour Betting Odds
If you are wondering, yes there is a LIV Golf series event this weekend from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. It might have a better field than the Rocket Mortgage Classic, at least at the top. Bryson DeChambeau is one of those competing in New Jersey, and he won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2020.
This event only debuted in 2019 and Detroit Golf Club’s North Course is the host, a par 72 at around 7,370 yards. It’s considered arguably the flattest course on Tour.
It has taken at least 18-under par to win here so far, which was the exact number Aussie Cameron Davis, American Troy Merritt and Chile’s Joaquin Niemann finished on last year. Davis won his first PGA Tour event when Merritt missed a 6-foot par putt on the fifth hole of the playoff. Davis actually missed putts to win on each of the five playoff holes but still pulled it out. He hasn’t won since and is +3400 to become the first repeat winner of this tournament. Davis isn’t having a good year.
Niemann dropped out of the playoff with a bogey on the first extra hole, his first bogey of the week. He could have won on the final hole of regulation but just missed a 17-foot putt.
Rocket Mortgage Classic Golf Odds
Patrick Cantlay is the highest ranked player in the world in the field at No. 4 and +1000. It’s his first time playing this tournament and comes off a T8 at the British Open. Tony Finau is +1300 while Will Zalatoris is +1400 and Cameron Young +1500. Finau was T53 his lone time here two years ago. Zalatoris was 77th last year. Young, the leading candidate for PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, comes off a runner-up at the British Open.
No Canadian has won here. Mackenzie Hughes was the top finisher in 2021 at T14, while Roger Sloan was T21, Michael Gligic T41, Nick Taylor T52, and David Hearn and Adam Hadwin missed the cut. Hadwin is +3900 this week with Hughes at +6700, Taylor Pendrith +7200, Adam Svensson +7300, Gligic +10100 Taylor +14300 and Sloan +33700.
