Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024 Prop Bet of the Week
Maverick McNealy: Top-10 Finish (+300)
At over 7,300 yards, Detroit Golf Club calls on longer hitters who can use their power and skills to gain strokes on the field. In 2024, Maverick McNealy ranks 19th on Tour in strokes gained off the tee and 11th in total strokes gained. Missing the fairway off the tee will not be penal this week, so those two fortes of McNealy’s game should bode well for setting up the rest of his bag here.
We expect to see many fairways and greens hit across the entire field. That leads me to the next largest metric I am heavily accounting for: putting. McNealy ranks 17th on Tour in total putting and is 12th in par-4 scoring average. His stock has been trending up in 2024, and this place sets up well for him to rocket his way to the top of the leaderboard for what would be his fourth T10 this year.
