The PGA Tour returns to Detroit Golf Club this week for the 2026 Rocket Classic, with another lucrative payday awaiting the winner.
The tournament features a total purse of $10 million, matching the event’s recent prize fund and giving players another opportunity to earn a significant paycheck during the closing stretch of the regular season.
While the Rocket Classic isn’t one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, it still offers one of the larger purses on the regular-season schedule.
Defending champion Aldrich Potgieter returns after breaking through for his first PGA Tour victory at last year’s Rocket Classic, defeating Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk in a dramatic five-hole playoff.
This year’s tournament also marks the end of an era, as the 2026 edition will be the final Rocket Classic after Rocket Companies elected not to renew its title sponsorship beyond this season.
Beginning in 2027, the PGA Tour will replace the Detroit event with a new tournament at Silverado Resort in Napa, California, sponsored by global insurance and reinsurance company Sompo.
