The 2025 Rocket Classic, formerly known as the Rocket Mortgage Classic, begins on Thursday at Detroit Golf Club, and low scores will be expected. The tournament has been around for just six years, but every winner has shot at least 18-under-par, with an average winning score of nearly 23-over-par. Past champions include Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau and two-time winner, Cameron Davis, who also enters the Rocket Classic 2025 as the defending champ.
Collin Morikawa was runner-up in his lone start at Detroit Golf Club, but the two-time major winner is second to no one in the latest 2025 Rocket Classic odds. He’s the top-ranked player in the field and tops the PGA odds board at +1200, followed by Keegan Bradley (+1600) who won last week in Connecticut. Patrick Cantlay (+1800), Ben Griffin (+2200) and Cameron Young (+2800) round out the top five, while Hideki Matsuyama is a +3000 golf longshot to get his second win of the year.

Top 2025 Rocket Classic expert picks
One surprise: Kannon loves the value of Davis Thompson as a 40-1 longshot after his runner-up finish at this tournament a year ago. That performance continued the progression of the Georgia alum at Detroit Golf Club, which began with a 58th-place finish when he was still on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021. He then notched a top 25 at this event as a PGA Tour rookie in 2023, before finishing just one stroke back of winning his first PGA event at the 2024 Rocket Classic. Thompson would later go on to secure his first victory by claiming the John Deere Classic in July.
That Deere Classic win is a big reason why Kannon is high on Thompson as Detroit Golf Club is similar to the TPC Deere Run course that Thompson shot 28-under en route to victory at. Both Midwestern courses have seen nearly identical winning scores over the last half-dozen years, as the victors at each have averaged nearly 23-under-par. Detroit Golf Club is a Donald Ross-design, and Thompson had his best-ever majors finish — ninth at the 2024 U.S. Open — which came at another Ross design. Birdies will be mandatory for success this week, and just seven players in the Rocket Classic 2025 field have converted more this year than Thompson, who is a steal at his 40-1 odds.
