The PGA Tour returns to Michigan for the first time in a decade Thursday when play begins in the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
The North Course was designed by Donald Ross and first opened for play in 1916. It plays this week at par-72 and 7,334 yards. The layout allows for the possibility of some scary-low scores on the front nine.
“28? Anyone?”
Tiger Woods won the Buick Open finale a decade ago. That PGA Tour mainstay from 1958-2009 was last played about an hour to the northwest of Detroit in Grand Blanc Township.
Tiger is not walking through the gallery ropes this week. The Rocket Mortgage Classic still features some worthy notables including Dustin Johnson, Gary Woodland, Bubba Watson, and, of course, Mr. Subtle Buried Elephant Himself, Rickie Fowler.
