2026 Rocket Classic Tips & Predictions

Ended

We have expert betting tips for the Rocket Classic this week, where Cameron Young is the highest-ranked player in the field.

It’s quality betting field for the next PGA Tour tournament, where the likes of Young, Xander Schauffele, and rising star Jason Koivun tee it up.

We look at the best Rocket Classic picks, including our best bet, best roughie, and top 10.

Best Bet

Cameron Young @ $11.00

Bet Now

It’s not surprising to see Cameron Young headlining betting markets. The American has already won some big tournaments this year, and he enjoyed a week off following the Open Championship.

Young is a player who is always on the first page of the leaderboard, and that’s reflected in betting markets. The former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year has gone to another level in 2026, and we expect him to win again this year.

With the playoffs fast approaching, look for Young to get back to his best form. He’s our top chance to win the Rocket Classic, and the $11 odds are a fair price from bookmakers.

Best Value Bet

Jason Koivun @ $20.00

Bet Now

It won’t be easy to back up after the highs of winning your first PGA Tour tournament, but Koivun could be something special.

The youngster has an insane work ethic, which he’s had since a young age, and he dominated the amateur circuit because of it. He’s now a PGA Tour winner, having beaten Scottie Scheffler at the 3M Open last week.

That’s not an easy feat for any golfer, let alone a rookie, and most professionals are tipping him to be the next star on the tour. He’s even getting compared to Tiger Woods, so whilst the expectations are unfair, he could have another big week.

His odds are $20 to win, and we’re hoping he can ride the crest of a wave.

Best Roughie

Marco Penge @ $61.00

Bet Now

Marco Penge is a European golfer who we earmarked as a potential star, and although he hasn’t been awesome since arriving on the PGA Tour, it can take time.

He was enjoying a lot of success on the DP World Tour before coming to the US, and he should start stringing good performances together now with more time under his belt.

Penge is a quality player, and he’s also one of the biggest hitters on the Tour, despite not looking like it. We expect that to pay off sooner rather than later, and if he can hole some putts, the $61 odds will look juicy.

Next Best

Patrick Cantlay @ $26.00

Bet Now

This will be the last time we include Patrick Cantlay in our golf picks, unless he finishes in the top 10.

Cantlay’s career hasn’t progressed as expected, and he continues to get cricitised for his slow play, which again came to the fore when Ryan Fox won the Open Championship. Fox could complete four swings before Cantlay finishes one, which isn’t a good look.

However, he’s too good to leave out of Rocket Classic picks this week. We know his best form could be around the corner, so we’re including him in our picks at $26.

Top 10

Harry Hall @ $10.00

Bet Now

Harry Hall is a golfer everyone loves to follow, and he could reward punters with a top 10 finish this week.

He’s another European golfer who has struggled at times with the US golf courses, but he has some solid finishes, and he only needs to have a good Round 1 to go close.

It’s all about building confidence for Hall, because he’s talented enough to produce the goods this week. The $10 odds are generous.
