The 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club begins on Thursday, July 1. You can find full first round tee times for the tournament at the bottom of this post.
Notable groupings for Rocket Mortgage Classic Round 1
When Bryson DeChambeau arrived at the pandemic-postponed Rocket Mortgage Classic last year, his PGA Tour win total stood at five, and he hadn’t entered the winner’s circle since 2018. But in the meantime, DeChambeau had completely transformed his body and golf game, adding as much as 40 pounds to his frame to massively increase his distance off the tee.
The new-look Bryson powered his way to victory that week, then truly broke through with wins at the 2020 U.S. Open and 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational to bring his win total to eight.
Now DeChambeau is back in Detroit to defend his title. He tees off for the opening round on Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET alongside Cameron Champ and Kramer Hickok.
Other notable groupings for the opening round at Detroit Golf Club include Phil Mickelson, Hideki Matsuyama and Rickie Fowler (7:55 a.m. ET); Patrick Reed, Webb Simpson and Jason Kokrak (1:00 p.m. ET); and Jason Day, Nick Taylor and Jason Dufner (7:15 a.m. ET.)
