DETROIT — For the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic, they got Dustin Johnson, who paused his hobnobbing at Kid Rock's place long enough to blow a tee shot out of bounds late in his round to miss the cut in 2019. The next year, there was Bryson DeChambeau, who turned Detroit Golf Club into a chip-and-putt en route to victory. Last year, Phil Mickelson thumbs-uped his way around Wayne County, taking a few minutes to play some golf when he wasn't tweeting his disdain toward the local media.
As of right now, there is no huge, huge name in the field for the fourth playing of Detroit's first and only PGA Tour stop, which runs July 28-31. But that's not to say it's not a strong field. Tournament officials, in fact, would argue it's the deepest yet — and frankly, they might just be right.
"The best Rocket Mortgage Classic that we've ever had," Jason Langwell, executive director of the tournament, predicted when talking to reporters last month.
