The Rocket Mortgage Classic is set to take place at the Detroit Golf Club this week, with a wide-open field due to the absence of any top 10 players, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. This presents a great opportunity for a long-shot pick to emerge victorious, and our choice is Mark Hubbard, who is listed at +6600 odds to win the tournament. Despite not having secured a Tour win yet, Hubbard has been incredibly consistent this season, making the cut in all 17 of his starts and securing several top-25 finishes.
Hubbard’s strong performances this season, including a T4 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, make him a compelling choice for a long-shot bet at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Placing a $10 wager on Hubbard could potentially result in a $660 payout if he emerges victorious. To hedge your bets, consider placing additional small wagers on him to finish in the top 10 or top 20, increasing your chances of securing a return on your investment.
Among the favorites to win the Rocket Mortgage Classic are Tom Kim, who lost in a playoff at the Travelers Championship, Cameron Young, who shot a third-round 59 at the same tournament, and Ashkay Bhatia and Min Woo Lee, all listed at varying odds. The top 15 in betting odds for the tournament reflect a mix of established players and rising stars, providing plenty of options for bettors looking to capitalize on the wide-open field in Detroit. It’s worth exploring the full list of odds and bets available at BetMGM to make an informed decision when placing your wagers.
