Defending Rocket Mortgage Classic champion Rickie Fowler is one of the first players to commit to playing in the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic, June 25-30, at the Detroit Golf Club, for which tickets now are on sale.

Joining Fowler on the list of early player commitments are Tom Kim and Will Zalatoris.

Last year, Fowler birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to force a three-way playoff with Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin, then birdied the first playoff hole to secure his first PGA Tour victory in more than four years.

“I was kind of just still and quiet and everyone was going crazy around me,” Fowler said shortly after wrapping up his sixth career PGA Tour title in the Detroit event, of which he is a spokesman. “It was a nice moment just to kind of feel like the weight on my shoulders was finally off.”

Kim, before his 22nd birthday, already is a three-time PGA Tour winner. The South Korea native was a member of the International team at the 2022 Presidents Cup, and last season finished top 10 in both the U.S. Open and The Open Championship. In his Rocket Mortgage Classic debut in 2022, he finished seventh.

Zalatoris returned from a back injury that cut short his 2023 season and has secured three top-10 finishes this season, including a tie for ninth at The Masters.

“We are excited to welcome fans back to the Rocket Mortgage Classic this summer. It will be amazing to have Rickie join us again after the showstopping performance he put on during Sunday’s final round last year, along with some other top names,” says Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

“We are expecting another terrific field, and the momentum will only continue to grow as we look forward to our sixth tournament right here in the heart of Detroit. It’s hard to believe we’re just 50 days away from opening our gates to fans, and we encourage everyone to get their tickets early.”

Daily grounds tickets and passes to hospitality venues are on sale at RocketMortgageClassic.com.

All Rocket Mortgage Classic tickets are digital and day-specific, and fans are encouraged to buy tickets early for the best prices. Grounds tickets start at $65 per day, with LendingTree Lounge passes starting at $120 and Club Ace presented by Bell’s Brewing passes starting at $250. Mastercard cardholders can receive preferred pricing on grounds tickets.

Upgraded and re-envisioned for 2024, Club Ace presented by Bell’s Brewing offers guests an open-air, shaded venue overlooking action on the 15th and 16th holes. The venue will include complimentary beer, wine, seltzers, and soft drinks as well as an upgraded food menu and full bar for purchase.

Kids 15 and under receive complimentary grounds admission when accompanied by a ticketed adult (up to four kids per adult) Thursday-Sunday. No separate ticket is required for juniors to enter.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic offers complimentary tickets to military members in partnership with Irreverent Warriors Detroit, which brings veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide. Beginning May 27, these tickets are available for active, reserve, retired, and veteran military along with one guest, while tickets last.
