The Rocket Classic (known as the Rocket Mortgage Classic through 2024)[1] was a professional golf tournament in Michigan on the PGA Tour from 2019 to 2026. Held at the North Course of Detroit Golf Club, it replaced the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour schedule,[2] and was the first PGA Tour event to be held completely within the Detroit city limits.[3]

For the 2019 season, the event was part of the Open Qualifying Series, giving two non-exempt players entry into The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

After the 2025 event, the course underwent a $16.1 million renovation and par was reduced from 72 to 70 for 2026; the overall length was reduced 42 yards (38 m) to 7,328 yards (6,701 m).[4]

The Rocket Classic ended after the 2026 edition of the tournament after Rocket Companies declined to exercise its option for 2027.[5]
