Field and Course Highlights
The field features 10 major champions, 21 players inside the world's top 50, and 21-year-old phenom Jackson Koivun, who enters following a victory at the 3M Open.
Detroit Golf Club recently completed a $16.1 million renovation led by architect Tyler Rae, who restored the course closer to its original Donald Ross design by expanding greens and redesigning bunkers.
Dalke, a former NCAA national champion at Oklahoma and runner-up at the 2016 U. S.
Amateur, is making his first PGA Tour start since turning professional.
He previously competed in the 2016 Valero Texas Open, the 2017 Masters, and the 2017 U. S.
Open as an amateur, missing the cut in all three.
He recently finished tied for 30th at the DP World Tour's BMW International Open in Germany.
Dalke expressed enthusiasm for returning to the Motor City a decade after his amateur run.
"I couldn't be more excited to make my PGA TOUR debut at the Rocket Classic while representing Good Good Golf," Dalke said.
