The Rocket Mortgage Classic will give golf fans in Michigan a chance to see the PGA Tour in person this weekend.
Michigan sportsbooks, meanwhile, are giving sports bettors plenty of reasons to pay attention.
The fourth edition of the annual tournament will start Thursday, July 28, at Detroit Golf Club, and run through Sunday, July 31. The Golf Channel will carry the opening two rounds from 3-6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. It will also have early coverage from 1-3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
CBS will carry the main television broadcast from 3-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
How to bet on the Rocket Mortgage Classic
Patrick Cantlay is the consensus favorite at Michigan sportsbooks, coming in most commonly at +1000 as of Wednesday afternoon.
He’s typically followed, in varying order, by Tony Finau, Will Zalatoris, Cameron Young and Max Homa.
Cantlay is the lone player in the field among the world’s top 10, sitting at No. 4 in the current rankings. Only Zalatoris (13), Finau (16), Young (19) and Homa (20) are among the top 20.
Despite that — or maybe because of that — Michigan online sportsbooks are offering several odds boosts and special bets during the tournament.
