Say goodbye to limited field events on the PGA Tour this season.
The Travelers Championship was the final signature event, leaving a full field to compete at this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.
It’s also the penultimate stateside event before players head to Scotland in July for the Genesis Scottish Open and the Open.
Rickie Fowler returned to winning ways at this event in 2023, when holding off Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a play-off.
That was Fowler’s first title in five years, giving his countryman a fourth win at the Rocket Mortgage from its five runs.
The tournament only debuted in 2019 when it replaced the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour schedule but has attracted star players on every occasion.
Over $9 million is on the line in Detroit as well as some highly sought after FedEx Cup points, as the regular season draws towards a close.
So, here’s everything you need to know…

The bunkered Bet
Cameron Young 16/1
The American has quietly enjoyed a solid season on the PGA Tour and his new Titleist driver helped him to a T9 finish at the Travelers Championship last week. He’s among the most prolific birdie makers on tour and his effectiveness off the tee will be of use here. Meanwhile, his only start in the event resulted in a T2 finish in 2022.
