World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler picked up his sixth PGA Tour win of the season last week at the Travelers Championship, but he is not in the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic field this week. Scheffler got past Tom Kim in a playoff following a dramatic finish in regulation, and Kim is the 12-1 favorite in the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds. Kim has won three PGA Tour events and has made the cut in 16 of his 19 tournaments this season heading into this tournament at Detroit Golf Club. Should you back him with your 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic bets when play begins Thursday?
Cameron Young (14-1), Min Woo Lee (20-1) and Akshay Bhatia (20-1) are among the other 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic contenders. Bhatia won the Valero Texas Open in April and finished T5 at the Travelers Championship last week, so he will be a popular selection on the PGA odds board.

Top 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic: Young (14-1), who’s among the top favorites this week at 14-1, stumbles and doesn’t even crack the top 10. The 27-year-old American shot a 59 in the third round of the Travelers Championship, which was just the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. He started the day 11 shots back of the lead, but that round allowed him to ultimately post a top-10 finish.
However, Young finished outside the top 30 in his previous six tournaments, missing the cut at the RBC Canadian Open while finishing T-62 at the RBC Heritage and T-67 at the U.S. Open. He is still seeking his first career PGA Tour victory after posting seven runner-up finishes. Young ranks 102nd on the PGA Tour in scoring average, making him a golfer to fade this week despite his historic third round at the Travelers Championship. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Robert MacIntyre, a 40-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. MacIntyre has only made the cut 10 times in 18 events this season, but he has made the most of those opportunities with six top-25 finishes.
He won the RBC Canadian Open at the beginning of the month, shooting 16-under with his dad serving as his caddie. MacIntyre has finished inside the top 16 in his last five tournaments when he made the cut, including a T8 in the PGA Championship. He ranks first on the PGA Tour in approach shots from more than 200 yards and is also inside the top 10 in scoring average, giving him the tools to contend at Detroit Golf Club.
