- 2026 Rocket Classic begins Thursday at Detroit Golf Club as the final edition of the tournament, which the source states will cease to exist after this year.
- Cameron Young is the +950 favorite per the Rocket Classic 2026 odds, with Xander Schauffele and Chris Gotterup next at +1600, while two-time winner Cam Davis sits at +35000 (and +2400 for a top 10).
- SportsLine's model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, simulated the tournament 10,000 times and locked in a five-leg parlay paying $40,000 on a $10 bet, with an outright winner pick and a +400 prop among the legs.
- The model has nailed 17 majors entering the weekend, including the 2026 Masters (fifth straight), last year's PGA Championship and last year's Open Championship.
- J.J. Spaun Top 10 (+280) is one of the model's picks; Spaun recorded top-10 finishes at Detroit Golf Club in 2024 and 2022 and has shot under par in each of his last 14 rounds at the course.
- Spaun ranks top 10 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: tee-to-green and SG: approach the green; course restorations reduced par 5s at DGC to just two — playing to his strengths, with the model projecting him to finish inside the top 8.
Why it matters: Bettors have one final shot at the Rocket Classic — the tournament ceases after 2026 — while a SportsLine model that has nailed 17 majors offers a $40,000 parlay on a $10 bet, headlined by J.J. Spaun's top-10 pick (+280) at a course where he's finished top-10 in two of his last three appearances and now features only two par 5s that suit his ball-striking profile.
