Overview
- The Rocket Classic begins Thursday, July 30 at Detroit Golf Club with tee times and the 144-player field published ahead of the opening round.
- Detroit Golf Club completed about a $16 million restoration that reconfigured the course to a par 70 playing roughly 7,328 yards and changed strategic lines on several holes.
- Rocket Companies announced it will not continue as title sponsor after 2026, making this the likely final edition and leaving the PGA Tour’s return to Detroit uncertain.
- The field features defending champion Aldrich Potgieter and recent winner Jackson Koivun, includes several top players, and saw a late withdrawal from Brooks Koepka.
- Organizers staged a high-profile downtown 'Par 3 in the D' rooftop promotion, set TV windows across Golf Channel and CBS/Paramount+ and listed Sunday tickets starting around $75 while betting markets list Cameron Young and Xander Schauffele among the favorites.
