The Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club came to an end on August 3, 2026, marking the tournament's eighth and final edition. Tournament director Mark Hollis highlighted the event's challenges, including COVID, tornadoes, and wildfire smoke, which the event overcame to deliver a successful final showing.
