2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds, picks: Proven golf model locks in projected leaderboard, surprising PGA projections

The 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic tees off Thursday, July 1, from Detroit Golf Club's North Course. Bryson DeChambeau is the 15-2 favorite in the latest 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic odds from William Hill Sportsbook, followed by Hideki Matsuyama (14-1) and Patrick Reed (14-1).

We simulated the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been RED-HOT since the PGA Tour resumed last June. In fact, it's up over $8,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

At the 2021 U.S. Open, McClure's model was all over Jon Rahm's first career major championship victory at 10-1 from the start. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the weekend, but the model still projected him as the winner. And at the 2021 Masters, McClure nailed Rahm's (+250) top-five finish in his best bets, as well as Corey Conners' (+550) top-10 showing. McClure's best bets netted over $450 at the Masters.

In addition, McClure was all over Daniel Berger's win at +1400 in his best bets at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. McClure also nailed Viktor Hovland's (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he's made in the past several months.

This same model has also nailed a whopping seven majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns!

One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic: DeChambeau, who won this tournament last year and is the favorite, fails to repeat! Another surprise: Gary Woodland, a big 40-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.

Among the options the model is touting is a long shot who comes in at well over 40-1 in the Rocket Mortgage Classic odds 2021. Golfers who are accurate off the tee and when going for the green excel at Detroit Golf Club, and this sleeper fits the bill perfectly! Anyone who backs this underdog could cash in HUGE.
