“It was important for us to offer this holiday pre-sale so Detroiters, and those across the country, can pick up some of the hottest tickets in Detroit just in time for the holiday season,” says Jason Langwell, executive director of the tournament. “With our tournament dates moving up a month, and our first day open to the public set for Memorial Day, we know the demand for tickets will top the incredible excitement we saw for the tournament’s first year.”
To help kick off the holiday ticket pre-sale, Nate Lashley, champion of the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic, will ride on the tournament’s float in America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and hit foam golf balls into the crowd as the float makes its way through downtown Detroit.
