Rocket Mortgage Classic Notebook
June 27 – July 2
Detroit Golf Club, 5th year
“Golf and Give” is a new fundraising program to support local nonprofits – making it easy for golf fans to contribute to their favorite charitable organizations, while those nonprofits throughout Michigan sell grounds tickets to the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where $30 from each ticket purchase directly supporting their mission. Go to www.RocketMortgageClassic.com/golfandgive and click on “Purchase Tickets,” then entering the code unique to the organization they wish to support. The top five nonprofits on the leaderboard will all earn two honorary observer positions for each competition day of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, which allow access to walk inside the ropes with select PGA TOUR player groups during tournament play.
The worlds of professional golf, football, hockey, basketball and WWE will collide on Tuesday, June 27 when the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble tees off as part of Detroit Community Days. Pro Football Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, Red Wings All-Star forward Dylan Larkin and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Tom Izzo will return to the Celebrity Scramble, and will be joined by two newcomers to the marquee event – former Michigan basketball and NBA star Chris Webber and WWE Superstar “The Miz.”
All kids 15 and under receive complimentary admission to any of the 4 rounds of the Rocket Mortgage Classic when accompanied by a ticketed adult (up to four kids per adult) Thursday - Sunday. No ticket is required for those kids to enter.
