The inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic was held at the Detroit Golf Club in 2019.It was a huge success and raised more than $1 million for the benefit of local charities. The 2019 Rocket Mortgage Classic was honored as the Best Special Event by the PGA Tour and was recognized for Best Sales, as well as, receiving the Fair Way Award by the PGA Tour. After that very successful first tournament, $2.7 million was raised for area charities in 2020, despite the fact that no tickets were sold due to COVID. A television exhibition organized by Bubba Watson was a huge factor in raising the charitable dollars that year. In 2021 the tournament generated more than $1.35 million to support local nonprofits. The organizations also announced $805,000 of these funds were directed and invested with community partners supporting the event’s “Changing the Course” initiative, which is working to end Detroit’s digital divide.
