Rocket Classic ending in 2026, but Detroit 'always open’ for PGA Tour

The Rocket Classic, which brought the PGA Tour back to Michigan after a decade-long absence, will hold its final tournament in Detroit from July 30 to August 2, 2026, featuring players including Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, and Tony Finau. The event launched eight years ago with Nate Lashley's dramatic victory and produced memorable moments, including Fowler's first PGA Tour win in four years during a 2023 playoff. PGA Tour officials have indicated Detroit remains 'always open' for a future event, though no replacement tournament has been announced.
