We went from the 2025 Travelers Championship last week to the Rocket Classic on Thursday, and the two courses couldn&#8217;t be more different. While TPC River Highlands rewarded those straight and narrow off the tee with pinpoint accuracy, the Detroit Golf Club is a bombers&#8217; paradise, where the biggest hitters are kings of the course.
Let&#8217;s get into our masters of Motown with this week&#8217;s PGA best bets.
<h2 data-start="336" data-end="930">Cameron Young Top 10 Finish (Incl. Ties) +250</h2>
There may be no bigger bomber on Tour than Cam Young. Young hits the ball with reckless abandon off the tee and often gets a ton of length on his drives. The 28-year-old American ranks 17th in driving distance, hitting the ball over 311 yards on average. He also sits 65th, gaining 0.167 off the tee, showcasing how much damage he can do from the boxes.
To go along with a pronounced advantage with the biggest club in his bag, Young also does damage with the smallest. The 39th-ranked golfer in the world sits ninth on tour in strokes gained, with the putter, picking up 0.573. He also ranks 13th in putting average (1.722), 20th in putts per round (28.23), and 12th in one-putt percentage (43.62%). 
Not only does Young have the skillset for this tournament, but he&#8217;s already proven the theoretics in practice. Young has had success in Detroit with two top-six finishes under his belt at the Rocket Classic. The former Wake Forest Demon Deacon was on his way to at least competing for the title last year, heading into Championship Sunday at T-3, just one shot back of the leaders. Unfortunately, a final round of 73 (+1) dashed those Detroit dreams, but the statement was already made. His T-6 showing came two years after going T-2 following a -21 weekend at this very same course.
In addition to the right bag of tools and success at this course, Young is getting hot at the right time. The native New Yorker has four top 10 finishes this season, with three coming in his past six tournaments. Of those, Young put together T-4 finishes at the Canadian and US Open, both bomber havens.
I expect Young to light up the Detroit sky with his powerful bombs, so much so that I may even make a play on him winning it all at +2800.
<h2>Davis Thompson Top 20 Finish (Including Ties) +155</h2>
Davis Thompson is another golfer who has shown he can get down and dirty in Detroit. Like Cam Young, Thompson was in the mix to take home the Rocket Classic title last year. The 26-year-old&#8217;s final round of 68 came up just short, one stroke off the winner, Cam Davis&#8217; pace. He did, however, take the momentum into the following week by winning the 2024 John Deere Classic. 
While Thompson isn&#8217;t quite as long off the tee as Young, he makes up for it with better accuracy. The former Georgia Bulldog sits 24th in total driving with a 114 ranking, powered by averaging 302.6 yards per drive, while hitting 62.86% of fairways off the tee. The elite striking from the boxes equates to 0.354 strokes gained off the tee, good for a No. 27 PGA Tour ranking in the category.
It&#8217;s not just Thompson&#8217;s driver that causes havoc, as the 61st-ranked golfer in the world is also good with his irons. The Atlanta-native ranks 42nd, hitting 67.50% greens in regulation, while sitting 47th in proximity (36&#8217;9). He is best with his big clubs, gaining ground through driver and iron play.
It&#8217;s been a bit of an up-and-down season for Thompson, with just three top 25s to his name in 2025. That said, he&#8217;s shown he can hang at the Detroit Golf Club and has many of the skills needed to succeed in this tournament.
I like DT to turn up for a top 20 finish this week.
<h2 data-start="336" data-end="930">Min Woo Lee Top Oceania +130</h2>
Min Woo Lee is another guy who lets it fly off the tee. The 26-year-old ranks 12th in driving distance, walloping the ball over 313 yards per drive in 2025. Lee isn&#8217;t ultra accurate, but power is the name of the game at the Rocket Classic, and the 50th-ranked golfer in total driving has the tools to make noise in Detroit.
In fact, Min Woo has already turned up the volume at the Rocket Classic, finishing T-2 here last year, his only showing at the tournament. His closing round of 69 pulled him to just a shot behind the leader, an excellent performance for the talented golfer.
In addition to his strength off the tee, Min Woo has shown an increasingly improving all-around game. The No. 38-ranked golfer in the world ranks 57th in stroke gained with the putter (0.149), 60th in approach > 200 yds (50&#8217;6), and 32nd in sand save percentage (63.16%). That&#8217;s three stellar ratings, in three very different categories, using three very different clubs. Lee has shown his versatility recently, and it&#8217;s a big reason why he&#8217;s an up-and-comer on the PGA Tour.
What I like about picking him to finish first in his geographic region rather than say top 20, where the odds are comparable at +175, is the field he&#8217;s up against. Min Woo&#8217;s stiffest competition comes from 2024 Rocket Classic winner, Cam Davis, who bested Lee by a stroke last year, although Min Woo had the better final round. Outside of Davis, Karl Vilips, Harrison Endycott, and Aaron Baddeley are not really on the same level as the talented Australian.
I like Min Woo to best his fellow oceanic competitors with a second straight solid showing at the Rocket Classic.
