2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic 

US PGA Tour 

Detroit Golf Club 
Detroit, Michigan, USA
28-31 July 2022 
 
The 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic is set to take place at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit, the USA between 28 and 31 July.
 
The tournament was first staged in 2019 and it replaced the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour schedule. 
 
The event is sponsored by Rocket Mortgage, LLC (formerly known as Quicken Loans LLC) which is a mortgage loan provider based in Detroit. 
 
The Rocket Mortgage Classic is the first PGA Tour event in history to be held completely within the Detroit city limits. 
 
The current champion is Cameron Davis, who won last year's tournament after outclassing Troy Merritt and Joaquín Niemann in a playoff round. 
 
Davis will be looking to retain his title this year, but he will face stiff competition from the likes of Patrick Cantlay, Will Zalatoris, Tony Finau and Cameron Young.
 
While Max Homa, Kevin Kisner, Trey Mullinax, Harris English, Adam Scott and Cameron Tringale will also be part of the 156-player field which will play out over four days.
 
The field will be playing for an $8.4 million purse, with nine of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among the top contenders.

Jason Langwell, the executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, insisted that he was "not worried" about going up against the LIV Golf Invitational Series this week.
 
"We're not worried about it. Our narrative is ours. No one else will have the narrative we have. We're excited about the story we're going to tell, and the players we have here to support it and tell it," Langwell said.
 
"Our partnership with the PGA Tour extends to include several prominent golfers, including Bryson DeChambeau, as ambassadors of the Rocket Mortgage brand. 
 
"As has been widely reported, Bryson elected to join the LIV Golf Series. Effective immediately, Rocket Mortgage has ended its sponsorship agreement with Bryson. We wish him well in his future success."
