Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau plus Jason Day and Bubba Watson have committed to play in the Rocket Mortgage Classic when it returns to Detroit, June 28-July 4. Other early player commitments include fan favorites Rickie Fowler and Harold Varner III.
“The Rocket Mortgage Classic has quickly cemented itself as one of the favorite events on TOUR for some of the best players in the world,” said Jason Langwell, Executive Director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “Bryson is smashing records with his powerful drives and, simply put, has been the most fascinating golfer on the PGA TOUR since he won our tournament last year.”
The Rocket Mortgage Classic is doubling down on its charitable focus – aiming to raise more than $1 million through fan activities and returning initiatives at its highly-promoted, three-hole stretch, AREA 313, which is an epicenter for fans during tournament week. AREA 313 is named in honor of Detroit’s famed area code and is comprised of the 555-yard par-5 14th hole, the 160-yard par-3 15th hole and the 446-yard par-4 16th hole.
