After a week in New England, the PGA Tour heads to the Motor City for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
Despite its tricky place in the Tour’s schedule, the RMC is hosting one of its best fields ever as defending champion Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Justin Thomas and Tom Kim are all set to tee it up Thursday.
After missing the cut at the Memorial and U.S. Open, Thomas found some form at the Travelers Championship, tying for ninth. Fowler continued his run of good play in Connecticut, finishing T-13. Finau tied for 45th last week while Homa missed the cut.
Finau is the betting favorite at +1200, followed by Fowler and Morikawa at +1400 and Hideki Matsuyama at +1600.
