Overview

  • The 2025 Rocket Classic tees off June 26-29 at Detroit Golf Club, a par-72 known for its accessible scoring since 2019.
  • A wave of Monday withdrawals, including former champion Tony Finau, has thinned the field after a demanding stretch of majors and signature events.
  • Collin Morikawa leads the market at 12/1 odds, trailed by Keegan Bradley at 16/1 and Patrick Cantlay at 18/1.
  • Speculative wagers are focusing on long shots such as two-time winner Cam Davis along with Cameron Champ and local hopeful Ryan Brehm.
  • The $9.6 million purse pays $1.728 million to the winner and awards FedExCup points that could secure Open Championship berths for top finishers.
