2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Course: Detroit Golf Club – Golf Picks

There’s not much to this course so expect players to go really low, even with a weak field. The course is a Par 72 at less than 7400 yards, and 3 out of the 4 Par 5’s are reachable in 2.

Add to that, several of the Par 4’s are less than 400 yards, there is only 1 hole with a water hazard, and the greens are receptive and it sets up great for a birdie-fest.

There are a couple holes where wayward drives can get caught up in trees or wet rough, but for the most part, this course is set up to see really low numbers.

Most players will be hitting a high percentage of greens in regulation so it will ultimately come down to who putts the best this week.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic Favorite Holes

Holes 14, 15, 16….Area 313

It’s a bit corny, but I like the concept. If you Eagle Hole 14, which is a Par 5…then get a hole in one at 15, which is an easy Par 3…then birdie hole 16, which is a Par 4, that is completing the 313 which is the Detroit area code. If a golfer does that, a charity of his choice wins $313,000.

Hole 14: 555 yard Par 5

It’s a very easy hole that players can reach in two if their drive is decent. There’s not much defense on this hole so there will be eagles on this hole setting up a fun next hole where they’ll go for a hole in one.

Hole 15: 160 yard Par 3

This is an easy green to hit as players will have a short iron in hand, and on the weekend the crowd should be pretty fun here. I would expect a hole in one on this hole, hopefully it’s by someone who eagled the previous hole.

Hole 16: 446 yard Par 4

There are some fairway bunkers that could gobble up tee shots, but if the ball lands in the short grass, it will be an easy approach. The green can be a bit difficult to putt on so accurate approach shots are required to give the player a birdie opportunity.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic: Players That Can Trip You Up

Rickie Fowler

Fowler is the defending Champion, but he was coming into that tournament on a heater with 8 Top 15 finishes in his previous 9 tournaments.

This year, he’s 41st in total strokes gained in this field in the last 3 months, and he doesn’t have any Top 15 finishes this season. He’s priced as a Top 10 golfer, but I don’t buy it, even in this field.

Will Zalatoris

He’s a big name in this field, but this isn’t his type of course as he thrives on the tough courses, not the birdie-fests. His putting has been awful this year as he’s -0.46 strokes gained putting the last 3 months.

If you can’t putt well, you won’t score low on this easy course. He’s still suffering the effects of his back surgery, and even when he was healthy he finished 20th and 77th here. He’s priced as the 8th most expensive player in the field, and I see very little chance of him returning value.

2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic: DraftKings Darlings

Tyler Duncan $6000

He’s made the cut in 3 out of 4 tournaments, and he’s made the cut here 4 years in a row. It’s not a pretty pick, but if we get him through to the weekend he’s a steal.

Cameron Davis $7200

He loves playing here as he’s finished 17th, 14th and 1st the last 3 years. He’s make the cut in 13 out of 17 tournaments this year, he should get us weekend points and he has upside here.

Mark Hubbard $7700

It’s scary that he’s missed the cut 3 years in a row here, but he’s made the cut in every tournament this season so surely he make the cut this week in a bad field.

Rest Of Lineup: Rest Of Lineup: Adam Svensson $7600, Min Woo Lee $10,500, Tom Kim $11,000
