Hideki Matsuyama began the 2025 PGA Tour season on a high note, winning The Sentry on January 5. However, after 15 consecutive events without a win and just one top-20 finish in his last 10 tournaments, there’s a sense of urgency for a return to form. The SportsLine model suggests there might be value bet on Matsuyama at the 33-1 odds for the upcoming Rocket Classic, especially with many top players skipping the event, allowing for surprising outcomes among the longshots.

Meanwhile, Luke Clanton, who has transitioned from amateur status, made a solid professional debut at the RBC Canadian Open, showcasing his potential at the Travelers Championship. Now at 40-1 odds, the model sees him as a compelling longshot for bettors at the Rocket Classic.

The landscape is set for this weekend’s tournament, and with the field locked in, SportsLine has simulated the event 10,000 times, revealing longshot betting insights for the 2025 Rocket Classic.
