PGA Tour Next Stop: Rocket Classic Heads to Detroit
The PGA Tour next stop is Detroit, Michigan, where the Rocket Classic tees off on June 26, 2025, at the historic Detroit Golf Club. This week offers $9.6 million in prize money and 500 FedEx Cup points. Big names are in town, and the race for playoff spots is heating up.
Keegan Bradley Leads a Strong Field
Fresh off a win last week, Keegan Bradley arrives with confidence. As the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, he’s looking to make another statement. He’s joined by Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, and Cameron Young—all chasing victory in this crucial stretch.
FedEx Cup standout Ben Griffin, ranked No. 6, is the top seed in the field. A strong finish here could vault him into the top five.
Defending Champion and Notable Names
Cam Davis returns as the defending champion. He’s won here twice already, in 2021 and again in 2024. The Aussie knows how to win on this course and will be a key player to watch.
Other past champions include Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, and Bryson DeChambeau. All thrived on a layout that rewards bold putting and smart play.
Course Overview: Scoring Comes Down to Putting
The Detroit Golf Club plays as a par 72, stretching 7,370 yards. While the fairways are generous, the greens are fast and tricky. Players must hole putts to stay in contention. Bombing drives won’t be enough.
This week, putting is the equalizer.
International Threats and European Charge
The Rocket Classic also features strong international talent. Hideki Matsuyama, Min Woo Lee, and Cam Davis headline the group. Thriston Lawrence could be a dark horse—his aggressive style suits this setup.
Europeans Alex Noren and Harry Hall will try to bounce back after Tommy Fleetwood’s narrow miss last week. The American trio of Young, Cantlay, and Morikawa will aim to keep the Ryder Cup vibes going.
Weather Outlook: Hot Days and Breezy Afternoons
Temperatures will reach the high 80s. Winds between 7 and 13 MPH are expected throughout the tournament. Players and fans alike need to be ready.
Players should stay hydrated, wear cooling gear, and manage their energy.
Spectators should bring hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Shade will be key for comfort.
Rocket Classic Ready to Deliver Fireworks
The Rocket Classic promises action, pressure, and storylines. Will Keegan Bradley go back-to-back? Can Cam Davis make it three in Detroit? Or will someone new rise?
No matter the outcome, the PGA Tour next stop delivers once again. This week in Detroit is about heat, history, and high stakes.
