2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic field is set; here’s who’ll be at Detroit Golf Club

The field for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic is almost set, with 151 spots accounted for as of Friday night. There’s a bit of everything for Detroit golf fans: 10 of the top 50 in the World Golf Rankings, seven major winners, three previous Rocket Mortgage Classic winners and a pair of precocious youngsters.

The tournament, returning to Detroit Golf Club for the sixth time, will be held from June 25-30, with the first round teeing off on Thursday. Among the top ranked golfers coming to town are Cameron Young (No. 23 in the world ranks), Tom Kim (No. 26), Chris Kirk (No. 30) and, of course, Rickie Fowler, who is ranked No. 49 and the defending Rocket Mortgage Classic champ after last year’s epic three-way playoff victory.

Other previous winners returning to Detroit include Cam Davis, who took the trophy in 2021, and Nate Lashley, who won it as the third alternate in 2019, leading wire-to-wire.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic will also feature several major winners, in Stewart Cink (2009 British Open), Jason Dufner (2013 PGA Championship), Zach Johnson (2007 Masters, 2015 British Open), Francesco Molinari (2018 British Open), Webb Simpson (2012 U.S. Open), Jimmy Walker (2016 PGA Championship) and Gary Woodland (2019 U.S Open).

On the other end of the experience spectrum, Detroit Golf Club will welcome 15-year-old Miles Russell on a sponsor’s exemption for his PGA Tour debut. The high school freshman from Jacksonville Florida finished 20^th at the LECOM Suncoast Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour in April. Also making his PGA Tour debut will be Neal Shipley, who has already finished as low amateur at the Masters and the U.S. Open this year. The 2023 U.S. Amateur runner-up turned pro this week.

The final five spots will be up for grabs on Sunday and Monday, with one spot available through the John Shippen National Golf Invitational, a 36-hole tournament at Detroit Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday, and the final four settled through Monday’s qualifiers.
