Multiple-time winners Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark and Chris Gotterup will end their regular seasons at the Rocket Classic, while Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, J.J. Spaun, Ben Griffin and Patrick Cantlay all tee it up alongside them. 

Recent 3M Open winner Jackson Koivun continues his climb to the upper echelons of the game, where Jordan Spieth once stood as the three-time major champion makes his first start since a disappointing missed cut at Royal Birkdale. 

Both players find themselves on bubbles as Koivun is now No. 70 in the FedEx Cup standings after his win, while for the second straight season, Spieth finds himself on the top-50 bubble at No. 55. They will look to make in roads this week, as will Andrew Putnam, Mac Meissner and Johnny Keefer who are Nos. 71-73 respectively in the FedEx Cup.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

• Cameron Young (10-1): Detroit was nearly the site for Young’s first win with close calls coming in 2022 and 2024 when he broke his driver on the back nine in the final round out of frustration. The three-time PGA Tour winner has transformed in more ways than one since then. Young arrives with a renewed spirit following his runner-up result at The Open where he waited until the final pairing to see a name usurp his atop the leaderboard. His putting stateside has been less than stellar the last couple of months, but these are friendly confines for the American.
• Xander Schauffele (16-1): Finished inside the top 20 in the four major championships this season, but was there ever a point where it felt like he was going to win one? It has been that type of season for Schauffele as the well-rounded nature of his game continues to flash the height of his floor, while inconsistencies throughout the bag have limited his ceiling. The putting has been of considerable concern the last month as he makes his tournament debut.
• Si Woo Kim (18-1)
• Chris Gotterup (18-1)
• Wyndham Clark (19-1): The missed cut at The Open put an end to a stretch of golf that was worthy of three fire emojis. Winning twice in a couple months, Clark reminded golf fans that when he golf is good, it is about as good as anyone’s on Earth. A trusty new putter served as a catalyst and a tighter golf swing allowed his ball striking to shine through. He has fared well at Detroit Golf Club in the past and profiles similarly to previous winners.
• Patrick Cantlay (22-1): Unlike his usual counterparts, Cantlay is in the field out of necessity. Outside the top 30 and trending towards just inside the top 50, the former FedEx Cup champion needs a kick in the right direction. Cantlay is with only three top 10s on the year, but none of those have come since the week before the PGA Championship. This week represents a viable chance for him to get his name back on the first page of the leaderboard.
• Jackson Koivun (23-1): He has already matched the win total of Tommy Fleetwood just three starts into his PGA Tour career. What will he do for the encore? The way he carries himself suggests that it will be business as usual, especially as a new north star materializes in the form of the postseason. The win at the 3M Open catapulted Koivun to the bubble at No. 70 in the season-long race for what would be an impressive entry into the playoffs with a limited number of starts.
• Russell Henley (24-1)
• Ben Griffin (28-1)
• J.J. Spaun (34-1)
