As with all PGA Tour tournaments, the Rocket Mortgage Classic lasts four days. Play takes place at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

On each day of the tournament, the players will need to complete a round of eighteen holes. The fewer shots they take getting around the course, the better. This is because each hole is allocated a par score, which, ideally, the players will shoot under. The bigger the negative score is, the higher up the leader board the player will climb.

After two days of play, a cut is formed to trim the size of the field down for the last two days of play. The players that make the cut will continue into the weekend, while the golfers that miss the cut will be eliminated. After play has concluded on the Sunday, the player with the highest below par score will be deemed the winner.

If there are players that finish the tournament on the same score, a playoff will take place to find a champion of this $7.5 million event.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic 2022 is scheduled to get underway on Thursday July 28 and finish on Sunday July 31. Taking place at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit, Michigan, the tournament itself is the first PGA Tour event in history to be held entirely within the city limits of Detroit.

Rocket Mortgage Classic Betting Tips & Predictions 2022

  • List Icon

    The PGA Tour is fast approaching the home straight as there are just two more events before the much-anticipated FedEx Cup playoffs gets underway. The top 125 players will qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs, and those lucky enough to cement a spot will be given a two-year exemption from the Tour, so it is well worth fighting for.

    Back to the present day, and Tony Finau will be buoyed by his stunning come-from-behind victory at the 3M Open last weekend. Going into the final round, Scott Piercy had a five-stroke cushion at the top of the leader board, but he squandered it as Finau put his foot firmly on the gas to card a four-under-round of 67 at TPC Twin Cities.

    This week, the Rocket Mortgage Classic takes centre stage, and to a certain extent, it boasts a stronger field than the 3M Open. On the betting front, a good place to start in the outright market is to look at Patrick Cantlay. The American, who has already clocked up seven career PGA Tour titles, is a good frontrunner. Once he is in the groove, he is very hard to reel in. Currently, ranked sixth in the FedEx Cup standings, Cantlay is the highest player teeing it up at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

  • List Icon

    The Detroit Golf Club could provide plenty of rewards as it possesses plenty of birdie opportunities on the front nine. Cantlay is a smooth operator, and it would not be a surprise to see him shoot low this week. Currently, he is trading at the 8/1 mark with most leading bookmakers – which just seems too good a price to ignore, so he could end up in the winner′s circle.

    Despite registering his third PGA Tour title, winning has not come easily to Finau. Stepping into the winner

    Rocket Mortgage Classic is part of the Open Qualifying Series.

Golf is one of the most popular sports to bet on because the size of the fields, which often means that there are great value odds for even the best players – whereas in other sports, the favourites will often be short-priced.

Also, the very nature of the game creates a lot more betting markets than many other sports. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about the four majors – US Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, Open Championship – or a team event such as the Ryder Cup, there is always something decent to bet on.

We have listed some of your golf betting options below.

    Outright Winner Betting

The most common bet type in all sports is the outright winner bet. Golf is no different, and this is simply a wager on the golfer that you believe will win the tournament outright. Obviously, this will be the player that ends the tournament with the highest negative score against the course’s par. In the case of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, this is played on a par 72 course.

  • List Icon

    Any Day Leader Betting

At the close of play on each of the four days of the tournament, there should be a golfer on top of the leader board. This, then, creates another golf betting market. It does not matter how the tournament plays out in the long run – so long as your selection finishes top of the leader board on your nominated day, you’ll pick up some winnings.

  • List Icon

    Three Ball Betting

During the first two days of a golf tournament, the golfers often play in groups of three around the course. This creates a betting market known as three ball betting. There is also a two-ball betting market for when the players are playing in pairs. All you need to do here is pick which golfer will post the best round out of the trio or duo.

  • List Icon

    Hole-in-One Betting

This bet is really more of a prop bet as holes-in-one don’t come along very often. But essentially, all you are doing is making a wager that a player – any player – will land a hole-in-one straight from the tee. Not only does it not matter which player makes the shot, it also doesn’t matter which hole it happened on to make a winning return.

Because this tournament was only introduced in 2019, there have only been three renewals so far, each of these having produced a different winner.

This event, which was introduced to replace the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour, became the first event in PGA Tour history to be held completely inside the limits of Detroit city. Unaffected by the pandemic, the tournament has never been postponed, and attendance in the first year exceeded 70,000 spectators.
