How to sign up for bet365 Sportsbook What our Post expert thinks about the 2025 John Deere Classic In a field lacking star players, I'm targeting a much less-heralded golfer to have a good finish to the tournament. Cameron Champ has finished top-20 in three of his past four starts, including a T-9 finish at the RBC Canadian Open, which had a much stronger field than the one at TPC Deere Run this weekend. Champ shot 6-under Thursday — take a look at how he's doing Friday and consider a top-10 bet on the Texas A&M product. New customers only, 21+ (18+ in KY). Gambling Problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.

2025 Rocket Classic predictions: Three long-shot PGA Tour picks at Detroit Golf Club
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. After a grueling six-week stretch that included two majors, two signature events, and the Memorial, the PGA Tour will hit a simmer for the next two weeks before ramping back up ahead of the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush next month. The Rocket Classic, which tees off on Thursday at Detroit Golf Club, features a middling field that is headlined by Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley, and Patrick Cantlay, who are the only players entered for this tournament priced under 20/1. Morikawa is the outright favorite at 12/1, while Bradley, fresh off his win at the Travelers, is 16/1, and Cantlay is right behind him at 18/1. The Rocket Classic has been a regular stop for the PGA Tour since 2019 and has a reputation for being one of the easiest setups on the circuit. Nate Lashley, who was an alternate entry, won the inaugural event in 2019 with a score of 25-under par, and since then, the winning scores have been -23, -18, -26, -24, and -18. Bettors should not only be prepared for a birdie-fest, but they should also be prepared for a surprise winner. We've seen some big names like Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau lift the trophy, but Detroit Golf Club has also been a happy hunting ground for long shots like Lashley, Cam Davis (twice), and Rickie Fowler. There is a chance that the cream rises to the top at Detroit Golf Club this week, but the conditions of this event – easy course, weak field – make it a wide-open tournament. Here are our favorite long-shot bets on the PGA Tour this week: Cameron Champ finished T9 at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open earlier this month. Getty Images 2025 Rocket Classic predictions Cam Davis (90/1, FanDuel) It's been a tough 2025 season for Cam Davis, but he's won this tournament two out of the six times it's been held. That's enough for me to bite considering the price we're being dealt. Davis has missed eight cuts in 18 starts this season, but he does have five top-20 finishes (including at the PGA Championship), so he's still able to get in the mix if he can get through the first two rounds. Cameron Champ (120/1, FanDuel): One of the most boom or bust players in the sport, Cameron Champ has spent most of this season on the Korn Ferry Tour after losing his status on the main circuit. His results have been mixed on the JV tour, but Champ has had some encouraging performances when he's gotten into PGA events, including the RBC Canadian Open, where he was the leader after 36 holes and finished T9. This is a course that rewards players who can hit the ball a mile, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Champ in the mix if he has the rest of his game in somewhat decent shape. Ryan Brehm (3,000/1, Bet365) OK, let's get crazy. On paper, you'd say that Ryan Brehm has almost no chance of even coming close to contending this week. He lost his PGA Tour card before this season, he has missed more cuts than he's made on the Korn Ferry this season, and he's currently ranked as the 1,062nd-best golfer in the world. That said, this tournament is set up for a player like Brehm to have a chance of contending if the stars (in Brehm's case many, many stars) align. Any professional golfer (Brehm is a former PGA Tour winner, after all) can dominate this track if things are clicking, and they won't have to beat a deep field filled with the best players in the world. We've already seen one Cinderella winner at this event (Lashley wasn't even listed on most betting boards when he won in 2019), so why not throw a very small wager on Brehm, a Michigan native who should be very familiar with these conditions? Why Trust New York Post Betting Michael Leboff is a long-suffering Islanders fan, but a long-profiting sports bettor with 10 years of experience in the gambling industry.

Cameron Champ's Parents, Jeff and Lisa, Part of Golfer's Push to Diversify the Game
Cameron Champ's Parents, Jeff and Lisa, Part of Golfer's Push to Diversify the Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As Cameron Champ continues to push to see more Black golfers represented in both the youth and PGA Tour levels, his parents Jeff and Lisa Champ have witnessed their son's dedication on and off the course. Advertisement Back in 2022, Champ made Masters history alongside Tiger Woods and Harold Varner as the first black trio to play the major at Augusta National. Cameron launched the Mack Champ Invitational as part of his foundation's efforts to honor his late grandfather and have an event for "the game's best junior golfers of diverse backgrounds." The PGA Tour golfer understands it is going to take some time to see the results of the family's hard work. Cameron Champ plays his shot from the first fairway during the first round of the Grant Thornton Invitational at Tiburón Golf Matay-Imagn Images "It's going to take not just a village, but it's going to take the entirety of the Tour, those around the Tour and the entire golfing community to get things on a broader level," Cameron told The Augusta Chronicle's Gabriel Stovall during an April 2022, interview. "It's a matter of setting up programs to introduce kids to the game. And it has to be someone who looks like them. You're not gonna get some guy in a suit coming into those communities saying, 'Hey, you wanna play golf?'" Advertisement Cameron's dad Jeff has expressed admiration for seeing his son honor his grandfather. "My father (would be) proud, too,' Jeff explained to NBC News' Curtis Bunn during an April 8, 2021, interview. 'To honor my dad this way was beautiful.' Back in Sept. 2019, Cameron and his dad worked together on an event telling their story for Nike. "Back to where it all started for me!" Cameron noted in the Sept. 24, 2019, Instagram post. "Thank you @nike @nikegolf and @golfpass for coming out today to @foothillpar3 to showcase why this place is so special to me and my family. "Can't wait for everyone to see what we are putting together! More to come soon and excited to see where it all takes us! #ChampProud #TeamChamp #PapaChamp #CCFoundation" Advertisement Related: Cameron Champ Sends Strong Message on Wife Jessica Birdsong Champ This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

There are 18 contenders at RBC Canadian Open who need to win Sunday to get into U.S. Open The U.S. Open is just about filled up with six available spots still to go. The winner of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open, if he's not already in the field for Oakmont, earns at least Thursday and Friday tee times at the national championship next week. The Canadian Open is the final PGA Tour event before the U.S. Open, the final tune-up for those in, the final hope for those not. Golfers in contention at RBC Canadian Open who need to win to get into U.S. Open There are 29 golfers inside the top 20 (more specifically, there are 29 golfers tied for 18th or better after 36 holes in Toronto). Of those 29, there are 18 who are not in the U.S. Open field. Everyone tied for 18th or better is no more than six shots off the lead with half the tournament still to go. Neither of the top two so far in Toronto are in the Oakmont field. Pos. Name Score U.S. Open: In or out 1 Cameron Champ -12 Out 2 Andrew Putnam -10 Out T3 Thorbjorn Olesen -9 In T3 Richard Lee -9 Out T3 Nick Taylor -9 In T3 Victor Perez -9 In T7 Ryan Fox -8 Out T7 Jake Knapp -8 Out T7 Shane Lowry -8 In T7 Cristobal Del Solar -8 Out T7 Sam Burns -8 In T7 Matteo Manassero -8 Out T13 Danny Willett -7 Out T13 Rasmus Hojgaard -7 In T13 Matt McCarty -7 In T13 John Pak -7 Out T13 Taylor Pendrith -7 In T18 Cameron Young -6 In T18 Kevin Yu -6 Out T18 Peter Malnati -6 Out T18 David Skinns -6 Out T18 Trey Mullinax -6 Out T18 Jesper Svensson -6 Out T18 Beau Hossler -6 Out T18 Lee Hodges -6 Out T18 Mackenzie Hughes -6 In T18 Keith Mitchell -6 Out T18 Byeong Hun An -6 In T18 Jackson Suber -6 Out So it's pretty simple for those golfers: win and you're in.
