Episode Summary

We preview the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club on this week’s episode of “Be Right,” giving some best bets and longshots for the week. Plus, we explain how you can win a new fantasy contest hosted by the American Century Championship—and John Smoltz gives us some sleeper picks for the contest ahead of competing in the event next week.

Episode Notes

We’re joined by John Smoltz, MLB legend and one of the most avid golfers you’ll ever get the chance to talk to, on this week’s episode. Smoltz has been competing in a bunch of senior tour events this season—so we talked to him about his golf game ahead of the upcoming American Century; planning trips to top-100 courses with his teammates while he was pitching; and playing Augusta National with Tiger Woods.

Of course, we also preview the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic on this week’s episode—giving a few best bets ahead of what will probably be another Bryson DeChambeau win. Have a listen.
