The PGA Tour regular season is quickly coming to an end as players head to Detroit
Reserved for the Fourth of July weekend in recent years, the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic has been pushed back on the playing calendar, and as such, it has gained added importance. Becoming the second-to-last regular season event on the PGA Tour schedule, the Rocket Mortgage Classic will welcome those players itching to make a late-season push into the postseason.
Headlined by last year's PGA Tour Player of the Year and FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay, the field at Detroit Golf Club is surprisingly stout. Alongside Cantlay is a trio of neophytes in Cameron Young, Davis Riley and Sahith Theegala who are looking to edge each other out for Rookie of the Year considerations.
PGA Tour veterans Adam Scott, Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner and Harris English will also make the trip to the Motor City. Simpson is of particular interest given his position in the FedEx Cup standings as he checks in at No. 125 coming into the week. While his affinity for the Wyndham Championship is well known, the 36-year-old will attempt to distance himself from the playoff bubble before heading to Sedgefield Country Club for the regular-season finale.
