PGA Tour announces new tournament to replace Rocket Classic in 2027

Summary

The PGA Tour confirmed the Rocket Classic will conclude after the 2026 tournament, leaving Michigan without a PGA Tour event. A new tournament, sponsored by Sompo, will debut from July 29 to August 1, 2027, at Silverado Resort in Napa, California. Despite the end of the Rocket Classic, the Tour has expressed a desire to return to Detroit, potentially in 2028, contingent on securing a host venue and title sponsor. The Rocket Classic has played a significant role in reviving professional golf in Detroit since its inception in 2019, raising funds for local charities and boosting the local economy.
