PGA Tour action returns Thursday - as the Detroit Golf Club plays host to the Rocket Classic.
For those who will be following closely - Collin Morikawa is the shortest-priced in the market to be crowned champion - with the American valued at 12/1 (6 PLACES).
Meanwhile, Morikawa's fellow countryman Keegan Bradley is a BOOSTED 18/1 second-favourite according to Sky Bet.
Bradley has been in strong form of late - with him finishing top 10 at the Memorial Tournament before winning the Travelers Championship last time out.
Bradley was impressive en route to his eighth career PGA Tour victory - shooting 2-under to storm over the top of Tommy Fleetwood late on the final day to win by a shot.
Patrick Cantlay, Ben Griffin and Cameron Young round out the five favourites in the market at 18/1, 22/1 and 30/1 respectively.
Lastly, for those after an outsider - Cam Davis is an eye-catching 70/1 outsider to hoist the trophy.

Sky Bet odds to win the Rocket Classic (EW - 6 places):
Collin Morikawa 12/1
Keegan Bradely WAS 16/1 NOW 18/1

The Celtic transfer untouchable who can't be sold at any price as Premier League clubs swirl

Charlie Mulgrew knows the importance of having a mainstay at the back Celtic have splurged millions trying to replace Carl Starfelt. So Charlie Mulgrew shudders to think how much it would cost to fill Cameron Carter-Vickers' boots. ‌ The Hoops have chopped and changed their backline since Swedish stopper Starfelt quit for Celta Vigo two years ago. ‌ An eye-watering £13million has been shelled out on unconvincing trio Auston Trusty, Gustaf Lagerbielke and Maik Nawrocki, while Liam Scales and Stephen Welsh have also had auditions. Yet the only ever present at the heart of the rearguard has been the colossal figure of CCV. Aside from his injuries, the USA international has been one of the first names on the teamsheet for Brendan Rodgers. And that's why, despite interest from Premier League threesome Leeds United, Sunderland and West Ham United, Mulgrew thinks the £20million-rated defender should be one of the club's untouchables. Asked how important it is to keep the 27-year-old, he said: "I think that's massive. I don't think they'll want to let him go. ‌ "Obviously, everybody has their price, but I think his will be high. "I think he's arguably one of the most important players and most important player at Celtic. "With not having a regular beside him, he's the one, the mainstay, that's there. ‌ "It's who's going to play beside him. I think holding on to him will be worth its weight in gold and like a new signing. You'd never want to get rid of him." Carter-Vickers has never ruffled the feathers during his four trophy-laden years at Parkhead. ‌ Mr Consistent enjoys life in Glasgow and has committed his future to the club until 2029. Yet there's absolutely no doubt in Mulgrew's mind that the ex-Tottenham man is capable of playing at a higher level. The former Hoops favourite said: "Could he play in the Premier League? 100 per cent. He's quick, he's strong, he reads the game well. ‌ "He's proved at Champions League level that he can play and compete. Maybe the only question mark would potentially be over his height. "He's not a tall centre-back, but I don't think many teams play the ball in the air. It's not like the Premier League in the 90s, where you had big Duncan Ferguson challenging you. "A lot of balls are on the ground and it's a lot of reading the game. I think that the Champions League showed that this year." ‌ Despite Celts coughing up £6m to land Trusty from Sheffield United last summer, Mulgrew senses that Carter-Vickers isn't entirely happy partnering up with his fellow American Bhoy - or Irishman Scales. That could see boss Rodgers dip into the market again as he searches for the final piece of the defensive puzzle that already includes Alistar Johnston, CCV, and Kieran Tierney. Mulgrew said: "I get the feeling that he's not completely satisfied with Trusty or Scales. But then it can change. ‌ "I really like Scales. Trusty's shown he can be a good player as well. They'll come back this pre-season and they might just hit the ground running. "The way football works, they could be the main centre-back next year. Football's a mad game. "It happened to myself. The year I got Player of the Year, I came back and I wasn't in the team for the first two games. ‌ "Then I played the majority at centre-back and got Player of the Year in Scotland. Anything can happen. "I'm sure Brendan Rodgers will be assessing that and seeing who's the best fit to play. ‌ "That's the good thing about Brendan Rodgers, he's always keeping people on their toes by knowing if they don't perform, they'll be replaced. "As a player, you want to be kept on your toes and not be resting your laurels." Signed for £4.3m, injury-plagued Polish ace Nawrocki has barely had a sniff under Rodgers. ‌ The ex-Legia Warsaw star has hardly put a foot wrong for the four-in-a-row champions whenever he's been fit - leaving fans scratching their heads as to why he hasn't been used more often. Rodgers has made it clear he wants a left-sided defender to play alongside right-footed Carter-Vickers. And as a leftie himself, Mulgrew admits the manager's reasoning makes total sense. ‌ He added: "I completely understand it. Celtic have a lot of possession in their half. "As the ball comes across to the left-centre half and he steps in, it opens up more angles of the passes to put it through the lines. "Right-footed players will tend to come back onto the right and go backwards and it closes the game off on one side. "I played in a Scotland team with three left-sided centre-backs in the back three, so when you don't have a lot of possession, you can get away with it a bit more, because it's a bit more about defending rather than having the ball. "But when you have possession, to step in and be on your side especially when you're left-sided, it can open up the passing angle so I completely understand it. But left-centre backs aren't easy to get."

How Brendan Rodgers could transform Celtic line up next season with Nygren and Balikwisha IN and Kuhn OUT

There could be at least four new faces in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI next season NEW-LOOK HOOPS How Brendan Rodgers could transform Celtic line up next season with Nygren and Balikwisha IN and Kuhn OUT CELTIC have set the standard in Scotland in recent years, but Brendan Rodgers says he will keeping an eye on what their rivals Rangers are doing. It's a new era at Ibrox with new American owners, Russell Martin at the helm and a complete overhaul of the squad required. Advertisement 5 Will Kuhn still be at Celtic next season Credit: Kenny Ramsay 5 The Hoops have been linked with Sarpsborg's Sondre Orjasaeter Credit: Alamy 5 Tierney will be back in the green and white next season Credit: PA For Rodgers though the task is simpler after securing a double and being a staggering 17 points clear of their rivals last season. No major surgery to the team is necessarily required, but areas of the squad could do with being strengthened to progress further in Europe and deal with a rejuvenated Rangers. Advertisement With this in mind, we have taken a look at the potential starting XI which could take to the field next season. Goalkeeper: Kasper Schmeichel Goalkeeper Ross Doohan has returned to his boyhood club to replace the outgoing Scott Bain, but he's very unlikely to shift Kasper Schmeichel from between the sticks in the near future. The 38-year-old, who has a year left on his current deal, played 49 games for Celtic last season, and is expected to be the number one again for next season. He will hope to quickly put behind him his costly and uncharacteristic error in the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen. He has recently said he would relish a return to playing in his native Denmark before he hangs up his boots. Advertisement Doohan and Finnish goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo will be looking to challenge Schmeichel, but for now the very experienced Dane who has more than 100 caps for his country has the gloves. Right-back: Alistair Johnston The Canada international revealed it took him a while to adjust to the intensity and pressure of playing in Glasgow but he's become a firm favourite at Celtic Park. The 26-year-old has played over 50 games for club and country last season and even featured in Canada's Concacaf victory over El Salvador on Wednesday - receiving an elbow in the face for his troubles. Celtic fans would never let their club die says Hoops hero Peter Grant He's won seven trophies at the club including a domestic treble and has made the full-back position his own. Centre-back: Cameron Carter-Vickers Joined from Spurs initially on loan in 2021 before making the move permanent, the 27-year-old has been a defensive mainstay in Brendan Rodgers' side. Advertisement Made over 40 appearances last season for Celtic and his performances have caught the attention of Premier League new boys Leeds United and Sunderland. He is quick, strong and reads the game well, and there are probably more question marks over who his central defensive partner will be. Arguably one of Celtic's most important players. Centre-back: Auston Trusty Arrived as a £6million signing from Sheffield United last summer but perhaps the 25-year-old American defender hasn't yet hit the heights he would have hoped for in a Celtic jersey. He's certainly shown promise in his first season in Scotland and has the physical attributes to become a very good player. Advertisement But he hasn't fully established himself in the first team with him and Liam Scales vying it out to be the main defensive partner alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers. Both players made over 40 appearances last season if Rodgers wants more physicality and aerial ability, Trusty will likely get the nod. Left-back: Kieran Tierney Has rejoined the club from Arsenal on a five-year deal in what could be the best bit of business Celtic do all summer. He left Celtic six years ago in a £25million transfer to go to Arsenal and has now returned a better, more experienced player on a free. Brendan Rodgers says he will be a massive addition to the squad and is an upgrade in this position, with Greg Taylor looking like he is heading for the exit at Celtic Park, with Greek side PAOK interested. Advertisement Tierney has had his injury problems but if he can stay fit he can be a huge asset with his marauding runs, dangerous crosses, tenacity and aggression. He could also play in the left-centre back role as part of a back three if required. Central midfielder: Callum McGregor The 32-year-old is one of the best players of his generation in Scotland and made over 50 appearances for Celtic last season. He's integral to the success of Brendan Rodgers' side with his range of passing, vision and technical ability. The Hoops skipper has won 10 league titles, six Scottish Cups and eight League Cups and will be looking to add to that tally next season. Advertisement He conceded missing the penalty in the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen in May was his worst moment in football and he will be desperate to put that behind him next season. Central midfielder/No 10: Benjamin Nygren SunSport understands the 23-year-old is closing in on a deal to join Celtic from Danish outfit Nordsjaelland. It's been an impressive season for the attacker, who can play as a number 10 or out on the wings, as he made his debut for Sweden. 5 Benjamin Nygren scoring for Sweden Credit: Getty It's believed personal terms and a fee has been agreed for the Swede who is out of contract in six months' time. Advertisement Former IFK Gothenburg sporting director Mats Gren told SunSport he's an "intelligent attacker, who can score goals and assist. He also has a good range of passing and vision". Central midfielder: Reo Hatate One of the Japanese success stories for Celtic alongside Shunsuke Nakamura, Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda. Arrived from Kawasaki Frontale in 2022 and the type of player to get fans off their seats with his technical ability, vision and flair. The 27-year-old played 55 times for Celtic last season despite missing out on the Scottish Cup final due to a knee injury picked up in a previous game against Aberdeen. Has been linked with a move to Serie A outfit Udinese but Celtic will be determined to keep their star man who is under contract until 2028. Advertisement Attacking right: Michel-Ange Balikwisha We've put him in at right wing, but the £5million-rated Antwerp attacker can operate on both sides and play through the middle. The 24-year-old has good technical ability and speed, but there could be some concerns around injuries - he scored four goals in 16 appearances last season but missed a possible 29 games. With Jota out until the new year and SunSport understands Nicolas Kuhn is edging closer to a move to RB Leipzig in a £15million, long-term target Balikwisha could be the one to help fill that void. Attacking left: Sondre Orjasaeter There's seemingly a lot of excitement around one of the hottest prospects in Norwegian football. Celtic have been linked with Sarpsborg's Sondre Orjasaeter for a while but face competition from a number of clubs to land his signature. Advertisement The 21-year-old hinted he's ready to make the step up with PSV reportedly leading the race to sign the attacker who's valued anywhere between £7million and £11m. He's scored once in nine games in the Eliteserien this season. Striker: Daizen Maeda The star man from last season Daizen Maeda swept the player awards after scoring 33 goals in 51 games for Brendan Rodgers' side. Fenerbahce have reportedly been interested the diminutive Japanese attacker whose blistering pace, intensity, and improved finishing is a nightmare for defenders. Could play through the middle or out on the wings depending on how Rodgers wants to set up his team. Advertisement Maeda more than proved his worth through the middle after Kyogo's departure and has restricted the amount of games that £9.5million forward Adam Idah has played. 5 How Celtic could line up next season - what are your thoughts?

Harris believes adaptation key to Eastbourne second round

The Nottingham-born star and former Eastbourne semi-finalist fell short in qualifying but entered the main draw as a lucky loser, and made sure not to waste his second chance by defeating Norrie in straight sets 6-4 6-4 in a blustery battle of the Brits. Harris salvaged seven out of the eight break points in their encounter - four of which came at 5-4 in the second set as he stepped up to serve for the match - en route to clinching the contest in an hour and 25 minutes. And Harris believes that the key to his victory lay in acclimatising quicker than Norrie to the tricky conditions. "I thought it was a great match in the conditions," said Harris. "I came out quick out of the blocks so I'm very happy with how I played. "It was the two matches in qualifying and getting used to the wind that helped me get the edge at the start. "I was timing the ball a lot better in the wind today and served better and that always helps on the grass." Harris was one of several Brits in action on Tuesday, including British women's No.1 Emma Raducanu. Raducanu defeated American Ann Li in a three-set thriller 6(5)-7 6-3 6-1 to set up a second round clash with Australian teenager Maya Joint. Joining Raducanu in the round of 16 is Jodie Burrage, who defeated Japan's Mokuya Uchijima in straight sets 6-3 6-2 to confirm a meeting with reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Kreicikova, who defeated fellow Brit Harriet Dart. Krejcikova beat Dart 6-3 6-7(4) 7-5 after two hours and 45 minutes, with the win holding an added significance as the Czech star's first of this year's grass court season. British No.3 Sonay Kartal battled bravely against Jelena Ostapenko but could not find a way past the former champion, losing 6-3 7-6(2) Elsewhere, George Loffhagen went the distance against Reilly Opelka but was ultimately defeated 7-6(6) 3-6 7-6(1) by the American. It was a similar story for Ilkley Open runner-up Jack Pinnington Jones, who lost to Portugal's Nuno Borges 4-6 6-3 6-3.
