PGA Tour ends Detroit Rocket Classic, adds new Napa event for 2027
The 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club will be the tournament's final edition after Rocket Mortgage ended its eight‑year sponsorship. The PGA Tour announced that the event will be replaced by a new tournament in Napa, California, starting July 29‑Aug 1 2027 on the North Course of Silverado Resort. Insurer Sompo will serve as the title sponsor of the Napa event.
Detroit will have no PGA Tour stop in 2027, though the Tour said a return could be possible in 2028 if a suitable venue and a major sponsor are secured. In parallel, the PGA Tour outlined a broader schedule overhaul for 2028, creating a Championship Series in which sponsors must contribute at least $30 million per event.
The 2026 Rocket Classic featured a strong field of ten major champions and 21 players inside the top‑50 FedExCup rankings. Notable withdrawals included Jason Day, who pulled out due to a back injury, and Brooks Koepka, who withdrew for personal reasons.
