This might be the deepest field yet of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, with 11 of the top-50 ranked players in the world set to tee off. World No. 4 and 2021 FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay is the highest-ranked player in the field and the betting favorite at around 10-1. Other top contenders include World No. 16 Finau, fresh off a win Sunday at the 3M Open in Minnesota, No. 13 Will Zalatoris, No. 19 Cameron Young and No. 20 Max Homa.

There are 11 major championship winners in the field, notably Adam Scott, Webb Simpson, Jason Day, Stewart Cink, 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson, Keegan Bradley and World Golf Hall of Famer Davis Love III.

Detroit Golf Club, opened in 1899, has two 18-hole courses, the North and South, both designed by the legendary Donald Ross. The setup — mostly using the North — is rerouted for the Tour for a par-72 of 7,370 yards, and is the flattest course on Tour. The tree-lined, up-and-back routing is old-school, and only one hole has a water hazard, the par-5 14th. Driving accuracy and exquisite putting on the undulating greens are key to victory.
