Every year, this tournament supports community development through initiatives like “Changing the Course,” which focuses on digital inclusion providing high-speed internet, devices, and digital literacy training for lower-income communities. Historically, Nate Lashley claimed the inaugural title in 2019, followed by Bryson DeChambeau’s power-packed performance in 2020. Cameron Davis marked his name in the tournament’s legacy with wins in both 2021 and 2024. Tony Finau (2022) and Rickie Fowler (2023) also brought star power and thrilling finishes to the Detroit crowd.
Rocket Mortgage Classic 2025 Field
The Rocket Mortgage Classic 2025 will be held at the Detroit Golf Club, 17911 Hamilton Road, Detroit, MI 48203. The course is a par 72 and 6,936 yards long. Detroit Golf Club has two 18-hole courses, North and South. One of the cool things about the event is Area 313 which includes Holes 14-16. If a player scores an eagle, a hole in one, and a birdie on those holes (3-1-3), a donation of $313,000 will be made to bridge the digital divide in Detroit. For fans, there are multiple shaded viewing areas, lounges, and food and beverage stations throughout the venue. Medical services during the tournament are provided by Henry Ford Health System with two on-site medical locations, one near Hole 5 Tee and the other at Area 313 Grove.
For the warm and slightly humid June weather in Detroit, wear breathable polo shirts and light-coloured golf shorts or trousers to stay cool and dry. A cap or visor is a must-have for protection from the sun. Moisture-wicking golf socks are just as important as the clothes you wear.
