Rocket Classic ends after eight years as PGA Tour changes loom

Summary

The PGA Tour's Rocket Classic will conclude its eight-year run in Detroit, with the final tournament scheduled for late July 2026. Tournament director Mark Hollis announced that the event would no longer be part of the Tour after title sponsor Rocket Mortgage opted not to renew for 2027. Weak competition fields and challenges in attracting top players contributed to this decision. The cancellation marks the first significant change in the PGA Tour schedule ahead of a planned overhaul by CEO Brian Rolapp, who will provide further details about a new schedule structure in the coming weeks.
