Course Breakdown

• Name: Detroit Golf Club
• Location: Detroit
• Par: 72
• Yardage: 7,370 Yards
• Fairways: Bent/Poa
• Greens:Bent/Poa

The Detroit Golf Club is known for its wide, easy-to-hit fairways and small but receptive greens. This setup favors bombers who can drive the ball long and handle their wedges and putters effectively. The course is expected to be soft due to rain, making it even easier to hold fairways and greens. With the rough being inconsequential, players will have plenty of scoring opportunities, making putting a key difference-maker this week.

The weather forecast indicates mild winds on Thursday and Friday, with stronger winds over the weekend. Rain is also expected, which should keep the course soft and receptive.

Our projected winning score is -25, and the projected cut is -4. Former Rocket Mortgage Classic champions include Rickie Fowler (2023), Tony Finau (2022), Cameron Davis (2021) and Bryson DeChambeau (2020).

PGA DFS Strategy

With the expectation of a high-scoring event, it’s crucial to focus on players who excel in driving distance, approach shots and putting. Given the volatility of the field, a larger player pool focusing on both length and accuracy is advisable. Fading the chalk and taking chances on less popular players could pay off, as this tournament has the potential for a longshot winner.
