On the PGA Tour, Detroit Golf Club hosts the Rocket Mortgage Classic, a professional golf event in Michigan. It made its PGA Tour debut in 2019 by taking the place of Quicken Loans National.
It is the first event on the PGA Tour to take place entirely inside the boundaries of Detroit. Two non-exempt players received entry into The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland as part of the Open Qualifying Series for the 2019 season.
The Detroit Golf Club, sometimes known as the DGC, is a private golf club situated in the heart of a north-side neighborhood close to the Palmer Woods Historic District and the University of Detroit Mercy in Wayne County, Michigan.
The original 6-hole course was designed by Bert Way. After it was enlarged to nine holes, Donald Ross constructed the current 36-hole course. The North and South Courses are maintained by the club grounds crew. The Rocket Mortgage Classic, a new yearly PGA Tour tournament, was hosted by Detroit Golf Club starting in 2019.
Who won the PGA Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2024?
Cameron Davis won the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic, claiming his second victory on the PGA Tour, and, for the event itself, he earned a $1.65 million winner's share of the $9.2 million purse.
After finishing one group ahead of Akshay Bhatia, who three-putted the last hole of regulation to make bogey, Davis won the tournament by a stroke at 270, under 18. Following the bogey, Bhatia was tied for second place with Aaron Rai, Davis Thompson, and Min Woo Lee.
Who won the PGA Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2023?
Rickie Fowler won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit, Michigan. It marks his first PGA Tour victory since 2019. This is Fowler's sixth career title. Of the $8,800,000 purse, Fowler took home the $1,584,000 winner's share.
After all three players finished regulation play at 24-under 264, Fowler won the event on the opening hole of a sudden-death playoff alongside Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin.
Fowler defeated his two competitors and recorded a career-high victory with a birdie-three on the playoff hole, the par-4 18th. With a 21-under total, Lucas Glover, Taylor Moore, and Monday qualifier Peter Kuest shared fourth place.
Tony Finau won the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic by a margin of five strokes, making history as the first player on the tour to win three straight regular-season events. Finau shot a final-round 5-under 67 to finish with a tournament-high 26-under 262.
The week before, Finau had won the 3M Open, coming back from five strokes down to win by three, but there was little drama at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Following five unsuccessful attempts, Finau's victory represented his first 54-hole lead conversion. Alongside 54-hole co-leader Taylor Pendrith and Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young—who would later win the tour's Rookie of the Year award—tied for second place.
