After its primary sponsor declined to pick up its contract option for 2027, The PGA Tour's Rocket Classic will cease to exist after the completion of this year's event in Detroit.
The final Rocket Classic will take place at Detroit Golf Club from July 30-Aug. 2 with Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa as the defending champion.
The event became the first PGA Tour stop in the Detroit city limits when it arrived in 2019. It was first known as the Rocket Mortgage Classic then as the Rocket Classic starting last year.
'After nearly 13 years as a PGA Tour title sponsor, including eight years in Detroit, 2026 will mark the final Rocket Classic,' tournament director Mark Hollis announced Tuesday. 'We are incredibly proud of what this tournament has meant to the city, from creating unforgettable moments for fans to raising more than $10 million for local organizations.'
The tournament was previously played in the Washington, D.C., area, where it was known first as the AT&T National then as the Quicken Loans National.
'We remain interested in the Detroit market and will explore options for a new sponsor,' the PGA Tour said in a statement.
The PGA Tour is currently working on schedule changes that already are underway by eliminating two Hawaii events typically contested to start the season in January. By 2028, a two-track system for determining top events is expected to be in place.
