The Rocket Classic, Detroit’s annual PGA Tour event, has unveiled enhanced packages in the Heritage Club while adding a new Monday pro-am where golfers will have the rare opportunity to tee it up alongside PGA Tour stars.
The Heritage Club offers two unique options — access to shared spaces or an elevated experience in a reserved table setting, allowing golf fans to have their own dedicated space to enjoy the tournament and entertain guests. Premium food and beverages are included in both packages, as well as upgraded restrooms.
The Heritage Club overlooks holes 14-16 at the Detroit Golf Club — also known as “Area 313” — and is the epicenter of the action every year during the Rocket Classic. The organizers state the space is “the most charitable three holes in golf.”
PGA Tour players will compete to make an eagle, ace, and birdie (3-1-3) on those holes during tournament play. The first golfer to achieve this feat across the four tournament rounds will trigger a $313,000 donation in his name split between a charity of his choice and the Rocket Classic’s “Changing the Course” initiative to end Detroit’s digital divide.
Any time a player makes a 3 on hole 14, a 1 on 15, or a 3 on 16, Rocket will make a direct donation to Changing the Course. Since 2019, the Rocket Classic has contributed more than $9.9 million to local charitable organizations, including $5.9 million to Changing the Course.
The Monday (June 23) pro-am was added this year in response to demand exceeding supply for the traditional Wednesday pro-am. Guests can enjoy the opportunity to play 18 holes of golf along with a PGA Tour player, with Detroit Golf Club set up under tournament conditions.
“We are excited to bring something fresh to the table this year with the Heritage Club and a new Monday pro-am that we have never offered before,” says Brad Lott, chief revenue officer for the Rocket Classic. “We have already sold more than 80 percent of our inventory for the Heritage Club, and the feedback has been extremely positive with the Monday pro-am.”
Pro-am packages are available for twosomes or foursomes, and include valet parking, carts, and a caddy, food and beverage throughout the day, a premium gifting experience, and a post-round reception.
Additionally, pro-am players receive parking and grounds passes to enjoy the Rocket Classic Thursday-Sunday.
