Rocket Mortgage Classic favorites
Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau is again favored heading into the Rocket Mortgage Classic at +850. DeChambeau is still looking to redeem himself after his meltdown at the U.S. Open, and will at least have a confident history with the course, and no Brooks Koepka in the field.
Patrick Reed finds himself with the second-best odds at +1,200. Through what's been an up-and-down season, the OWGR No. 9 has still managed a victory and six Top-10 finishes.
Webb Simpson is tied for third on the odds board at +1,600. Simpson has cooled off a bit in 2021 after a dominant summer of 2020 saw him peak as the World's fourth-ranked golfer. He has only one Top-5 finish on the season and has missed cuts in two of his past five events.
Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama is knotted with Simpson at +1,600. Despite winning the ultra-coveted Green Jacket, Matsuyama hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in the three months since, playing just four events and failing to post a Top-20 finish in any of them.
And Chilean Joaquin Niemann rounds out the Top 5 at +2,000. At just 22, Niemann has already bagged a PGA victory and has a pair of runner-up finishes this season in lighter-field tournaments, while missing the cut just once in twenty events.

How To Bet On PGA Tour Odds
The most popular way to bet on golf is by simply picking the winner, which is also referred to as outright. There are plenty of other ways to wager, however. Some of the more popular markets include head-to-head betting, where sportsbooks pair up two golfers and you simply choose who you think will have the lower score over the course of the weekend or for one round only.
There are also 3-way betting markets (choose the best golfer among three choices) and group betting (choose the best golfer amongst a group of players).
Other ways to wager include Top-5/Top-10/Top-20 finish, top golfer by nationality, to make the cut/to not make the cut, and the leader after each round. Then, of course, there's the popular prop bet of whether or not there will be a hole-in-one at the tournament.
