With the final men’s major championship on the horizon — The Open is scheduled for July 18-21 — the PGA Tour first heads to Detroit and the Detroit Golf Club for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Defending champion Rickie Fowler and Mr. 59 Cameron Young highlight the field taking on the Donald Ross design.
Tom Kim — runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at last week’s Travelers Championship — is the betting favorite at 12/1, followed by Young at 16/1 and Akshay Bhatia and Min Woo Lee at 20/1.
This week’s champion will go home with $1.65 million of the $9.2 million purse and 500 FedEx Cup points.
