Rickie Fowler Looking for More Magic at Rocket Classic
June 25, 2025
Rickie Fowler finished T36 at the Travelers Championship, but his performance was better than the result suggests, as one rough stretch on Friday (seven over through seven holes) skewed his overall showing in an otherwise solid week. Prior to this, he had posted three top-16 finishes in his previous four starts and will look to carry that momentum into the Rocket Classic. Fowler won this event in dramatic fashion in 2023, defeating Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa in a playoff. Detroit Golf Club rewards tee-to-green performance and driving distance, areas where Fowler has been average this season. He ranks 95th in strokes gained from tee to green (plus-0.001 per round), 126th in approach (minus-0.031), and 74th in driving distance. He’s also 94th in both putting (plus-0.013) and birdie-or-better percentage (30.90%). At $8,700 on DraftKings, Fowler will likely be a popular play this week due to his strong course history and upward trajectory in recent form.
