DETROIT (May 4, 2026) – The Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi today announced that three of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking will compete in Detroit this summer, as No. 3 Cameron Young, No. 8 Russell Henley and No. 10 Xander Schauffele, a two-time major champion, have committed to play in the 2026 tournament.

 

Keegan Bradley, No. 30 and 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, has also committed to the field and will be joined by past Rocket Classic champions Rickie Fowler and Tony Finau.

 

Detroit’s PGA TOUR tournament will be held at the newly restored Detroit Golf Club for the eighth consecutive year from July 30-Aug. 2. Tickets are available at RocketClassic.com.

 

“Announcing three top-10 players in our first wave is a strong signal that 2026 is shaping up to be the best field in tournament history,” said Rocket Classic tournament director Mark Hollis. “After talking with players and their teams, it’s clear the world’s best want to play in Detroit. For fans, that means a chance to get up close to watch elite competition at the highest level. We’ll have more big names to announce in the coming weeks.”

 

Young is coming off a six-stroke victory at last week’s Cadillac Championship, vaulting him to his highest world ranking ever. The 28-year-old made a career breakthrough by winning THE PLAYERS Championship in March, his second PGA TOUR win and one of five top-10 finishes this season. He currently sits No. 2 in the U.S. Presidents Cup standings and was a key member of the U.S. team at the 2025 Ryder Cup. He bookended his PLAYERS victory with T3 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Masters. He has played the Rocket Classic three times, finishing second in 2022 and sixth in 2024.

 

A five-time PGA TOUR winner, Henley’s most notable victory came at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. He currently sits No. 3 in the U.S. Presidents Cup standings and has three top-10 finishes this season, including a T3 at The Masters. He has played the Rocket Classic twice and finished T10 in 2022.

 

Schauffele has 10 career PGA TOUR wins, including two major titles, at the 2024 PGA Championship and 2024 Open Championship. He is a three-time member of the U.S. team in both the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup, as well as a two-time Olympian who won gold in 2021. He has recorded four top-10 finishes this season and will make his Rocket Classic debut in July.

 

An eight-time PGA TOUR winner and 2011 PGA Championship titleholder, Bradley also captained the U.S. team at the 2025 Ryder Cup. He has made five appearances at the Rocket Classic, with a best finish of T14 in 2021.

 

Fowler, a fan favorite and past Rocket Classic champion, delivered one of the tournament’s most memorable finishes in 2023, birdieing the 72nd hole before winning a three-man playoff to secure his first PGA TOUR victory in more than four years. A six-time TOUR winner, he has recorded two top-10 finishes and six top-25 results this season and has competed in the Rocket Classic every year since its debut in 2019.

 

A six-time PGA TOUR winner, Finau captured the 2022 Rocket Classic for his second victory in as many weeks, following a win at the 3M Open. A three-time member of the U.S. Presidents Cup team and a two-time Ryder Cup participant, he will make his fourth Rocket Classic appearance this summer.

 

Fans can experience the Rocket Classic and the thoughtfully restored Detroit Golf Club with advance ticket prices up to 50 percent lower than 2025. Grounds tickets for the opening day of play on Thursday, July 30 are $31.30, a nod to Detroit’s 313 area code. Friday’s second round tickets begin at $48, while admission for Saturday and championship Sunday start at $58. Advance pricing is available through June 30, encouraging fans to purchase early for the best value before prices increase to $68 for Thursday and Friday and $78 for Saturday and Sunday. Children 15 and under are admitted free when accompanied by a ticketed adult (up to four per adult).

 

New parking options for this year’s Rocket Classic will be available at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield and Oakland Mall in Troy, providing added convenience for fans traveling along The Lodge and I-75. The updates to ticket pricing and parking are part of a broader set of fan-focused initiatives all aimed at making the Rocket Classic one of the most accessible and community-centered events on the PGA TOUR.

 

Since 2019, the Rocket Classic has invested more than $10 million into local charitable organizations, including contributions to the event’s landmark “Changing the Course” initiative, which has played a vital role in bridging the digital divide in Detroit.
