The signature events are in the books for the 2025 PGA Tour season, but we still have plenty of great golf to be played, starting with the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club today.

Some big names are teeing it up this week, including Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Hideki Matsuyama, and last week's winner, Keegan Bradley.

Let's dive into the top odds to win this week and then I'll break down my best bets.

Rocket Classic notable golfers

Collin Morikawa: Collin Morikawa is the rightful favorite this week as the most skilled golfer in the field, but he has struggled of late. He hasn't finished inside the top 10 since a T10 finish at The Players Championship in March. If there's an event he can break the slump and win, it's an event like the Rocket Classic with a below-average field. Let's see if he can at least put himself in contention on the weekend.

Cameron Davis: Sometimes there's a course that fits a golfer's eye, and they find success annually, and this could be that course for Cameron Davis, who has won here twice, both in 2021 and 2024, as well as finishing T17 or better in 2022 and 2023. He hasn't been in good form of late, but maybe it's time for him to find his form at a course he's extremely comfortable at.

Rocket Classic Best Bets

Harry Hall +4000 via BetMGM

Harry Hall comes into this event ranking fifth in the field in total strokes gained over the past three months, and he's also fourth on the PGA Tour in birdie average, averaging 4.44 per round. Both those things bode well for him coming into this event, especially off a T9 finish at the Travelers Championship, which had a much stronger field.

His odds should be much shorter than they are, so I'd recommend jumping on him at 40-1 while you still can.

Keith Mitchell +4500 via BetMGM

I know betting on Cashmere Keith to win an event is always a risky proposal considering his inability to play well on the weekend, but I can't look past him at his 45-1 price tag this week. Keegan Bradley, Ben Griffin, and Patrick Cantlay are the only three golfers in the field this week who have gained more strokes per round than Mitchell over the past three months.

He's also a great course fit with his distance and and accuracy off the tee.

While he may not have the ability to win a major or a signature event, if he's going to win one in 2025, it's going to be at an event with a less-than-stellar field.

Emiliano Grillo +8000 via BetMGM

Emiliano Grillo has quietly been playing some fantastic golf, recording four straight top 25 finishes, including a T19 at the U.S. Open, where he gained strokes in all four major areas. He also enters this week ranking inside the top 50 on the PGA Tour in both approach play and putting.

In a below-average field, a golfer like Grillo should have much shorter odds than 80-1 based on how he's been playing of late. I'll jump at the chance to bet on him at 80-1 in Detroit.
