Why it matters: Now in its seventh year, the Rocket Classic is integral to the city's diverse sports scene, bringing world-class golf to Detroit each year.
Reality check: The June 25-29 event is in a bad spot on the PGA Tour schedule — two weeks after the U.S. Open and the week after the big-money Travelers Championship.
Golfers at the very top of the sport, like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, usually take the week off when the tour comes here.
Yes, but: The field for this year's classic is shaping up to be better than last year's.
Top-20 golfers Patrick Cantlay and Keegan Bradly committed last week, joining Collin Morikawa and former champions Tony Finau and Rickie Fowler.
