The PGA Tour hits to Motor City for this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic.

I've already given you my best bets in my betting preview, but now let's talk a couple of props.

I have two locked in for this week's event. Let's dive into them.

Rocket Mortgage Classic prop bets

  • Ludvig Aberg Top Scandinavian +200
  • Rickie Fowler -120 vs. Tony Finau

Ludvig Aberg Top Scandinavian +200

Ludvig Aberg was the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer in the world and then earned his PGA Tour card just weeks ago based on finishing on top of the national University Rankings. Since earning his PGA Tour card, he has finished T25 and T24.

This guy is for real and if you weren't already aware of his name, it's certainly one you want to remember moving forward.

With no Viktor Hovland this week, I can't realistically seeing any other Scandinavian beating him. Alex Noren is the only one with a realistic chance in my opinion, but he's been in bad form in recent starts.

Rickie Fowler -120 vs. Tony Finau

Fading the defending champion may be a bold call, but Tony Finau has been outright terrible lately. Since winning the Mexico Open in Paril, he has gone T23, T72, missed cut, T32, and T45. He has lost strokes putting in all five of those tournaments.

The opposite is true for Fowler, who has finished inside the top 20 in nine of his last 11 starts. If you can get past the fact Finau ran away with this event last year, Fowler is a great bet at -120.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
