The Rocket Mortgage Classic has announced daily grounds tickets and passes to hospitality venues are now on sale at RocketMortgageClassic.com, where spectators can purchase packages to witness the fifth annual event being held at the Detroit Golf Club June 27-July 2.
The tournament also announced several notable early player commitments to this year’s field, including two-time major championship winner Collin Morikawa–who will make his Rocket Mortgage Classic debut–plus defending Rocket Mortgage Classic champion Tony Finau and five-time PGA TOUR winner Rickie Fowler.
“We’re excited to welcome Collin to the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the first time, welcome Tony back to defend his title and have Rickie join us again as he continues his terrific season. This is just the beginning of what we expect to be another strong field,” said Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “The excitement level is high as we get set to celebrate the fifth anniversary of this amazing event right here in the city of Detroit. We encourage fans to buy tickets early, as most reserved areas are likely to sell out.”
The initial player commitments for the Rocket Mortgage Classic are sure to provide Detroit fans with many highlights this summer:
- Collin Morikawa–The 2020 PGA Championship winner and 2021 Open Championship winner will make his Rocket Mortgage Classic debut in July. Currently 11th in the Official World Golf Ranking, the 26-year old Californian has won five times on the PGA TOUR and has four top-10 results in 10 events this season. Morikawa made the cut in his first 22 events on the PGA TOUR, second only to Tiger Woods’ record of 25.
- Tony Finau–The defending champion of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Finau has won three times on the PGA TOUR since last July. His 26-under-par performance last summer at Detroit Golf Club allowed him to cruise to a five-stroke triumph, his second victory in as many weeks on TOUR. Finau is currently 14th in the Official World Golf Ranking, and the five-time PGA TOUR winner has three top-10 finishes this season, including a win at the Cadence Bank Houston Open. Finau will be making his third appearance at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
- Rickie Fowler–A Rocket Mortgage ambassador and a five-time PGA TOUR winner, Fowler is 58th in the World Ranking and has registered four top-10 finishes in 12 tournaments this season. He has played on four Ryder Cup teams and appeared in three Presidents Cups – and represented the United States in the 2016 Olympic Games. Fowler has played in the Rocket Mortgage Classic each year it has been held, with his best finish a T12 in 2020.
