The Rocket Classic (known as the Rocket Mortgage Classic until 2024)[1] is a professional golf tournament in Michigan on the PGA Tour at the North Course of Detroit Golf Club. It debuted in 2019, replacing the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour schedule,[2] and is the first PGA Tour event to be held completely within the Detroit city limits.[3]
For the 2019 season, the event was part of the Open Qualifying Series, giving two non-exempt players entry into The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
The Rocket Classic will end after the 2026 edition of the tournament after Rocket Companies declined to exercise its option for 2027.[4]
