Golf Expert Insights: Fading Collin Morikawa at the 2025 Rocket Classic

SportsLine golf expert Eric Cohen shares his betting insights for the upcoming 2025 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club, including longshot picks and a focus on Collin Morikawa.

Keegan Bradley made an impressive comeback, defeating Tommy Fleetwood to clinch the Travelers Championship, concluding the 2025 PGA Tour’s Signature Events with an exciting finish. Now, attention turns to Detroit for the Rocket Classic, previously championed by Cam Davis. Will he continue to dominate, or can top contenders like Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay finally secure a victory after a series of disappointments?

Cameron Young has shown promise at the Rocket Classic, finishing tied for second and sixth in his previous attempts here. Currently, he stands at +260 odds to land in the top 10 this week, according to the latest odds. Eric Cohen urges sports enthusiasts to review his expert predictions and best bets before finalizing any bets for the event.

As the host of the Early Wedge Best Bets Show on SportsLine’s YouTube channel, Cohen has established himself as a seasoned golf bettor with a record of correctly predicting tournament winners, including Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage and Ben Griffin at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Cohen has zeroed in on the Rocket Classic field, highlighting his favorite bets and potential longshot picks. One standout choice is Chris Kirk, with enticing 80-1 odds. Kirk’s recent performances, including a T12 at the U.S. Open, enhance his prospects for this event. Notably, he has excelled at Detroit Golf Club, marking his appeal for success here.

On the contrary, Cohen cautions against betting on Collin Morikawa despite his top odds of 12-1. Morikawa has been unable to secure a win in the U.S. since 2021, lacking top-10 finishes in recent outings. Although he has past success at Detroit, including a runner-up finish in 2023, Cohen feels the risk isn’t justified based on Morikawa’s current performance.
