The PGA Tour is in Detroit this week for the 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic, and the opening round is set to begin. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the first round.
Previewing Rocket Mortgage Classic Round 1
For the first time since the PGA Tour returned to action in early June, many top players are choosing to sit out the Rocket Mortgage Classic — but not all of them. World No. 6 Webb Simpson already has one win in recent weeks, and he’ll look to get off to a good start when he tees off for first round at 7:45 a.m. ET with defending champion Nate Lashley and Rickie Fowler.
Bryson DeChambeau’s everyday diet (7 protein shakes!) will shock you
But don’t forget about big, bad Bryson DeChambeau. Bryson has recorded top-10 finishes in his last three events, and he’s hungry for a trip back to the winner’s circle. DeChambeau, who is the betting favorite this week, begins the opening round at 1:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, alongside former Masters champion Patrick Reed and Hideki Matsuyama.
Here’s all the information you need to watch the tournament on TV or stream it online.
