PGA Tour to bring tournament to Detroit Golf Club in June 2019

DETROIT - PGA Tour officials announced a new professional golf tournament is coming to Detroit in 2019.

PGA confirmed the place and time of the new Detroit tournament on Tuesday morning with the release of their 2018-2019 schedule.

As expected, the "Rocket Mortgage Classic" will be played at the Detroit Golf Club on June 24 through June 30, 2019. Here's the full PGA schedule.

"Professional golf belongs in Detroit," Quicken Loans CEO Jay Farner said. "The Motor City, and the entire state of Michigan, have long served as a premier golf destination with some of the best courses in the country. We will be working with thePGA Tour to make the Detroit stop one of the most exciting and engaging events on the professional golf calendar."

The club's membership recently voted to allow its board of directors to explore bringing the PGA Tour to its historic Donald Ross-designed golf course.

As part of the agreement, Quicken Loans will remain the title sponsor of the Quicken Loans National at TPC Potomac in the Washington, D.C., area in 2018.

The PGA Tour held annual tournaments in Detroit for 45 years between 1958 and 2009. An economic downturn led to sponsor Buick's withdrawal.

"It’s a market we always wanted to go back to, and we’re thrilled that we will now have that chance,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said.

Of note, I brought this news partly because I was a member of Detroit Golf Club from 1989 to 2014 and I get to see my old home course on TV once a year for the next four years per the current contract.

Since Kevin Na's win in PGA,another Korean American,
Michael Kim's victory is quite encouraging news.

Ever since he entered PGA in 2015-1016,he has been
struggling to survive in PGA and I am glad he finally
win one this week.

I like his consistant and persistant demeanor in the
course and he seems to be very intelligent player as well.

He was born in Seoul and raised at San Diago area and
considering his oustanding college golf career, I am
very confident for his future in PGA.

Thanks very much for this presentation! Dr. Lee!  and
congratulation for your old club being host club for
upcoming PGA Tournament!   KJ

Thanks for the comment, Dr. Hwang.

I enjoyed watching Michael winning with a wide margin

reminding me of the old days when Tiger Woods often did that.

Kevin Na won by a wide margin as well.

This back to back two wins by Korean boys is indeed a rare treat for us.

My wife and I felt that finally Korean boys seem to have learned something

from their fellow country girls of LPGA and may have decided to work harder.

Perhaps Koreans may dominate PGA as well.

All we need is to have a few Tiger Woods, I believe.

I think he had an once in a life time round. Golfer’s dream came true. I don’t think he had

any regret on any play during 4 rounds. For being a first time leader on Sunday, it was 

very good thing that he led by comfortable margin. Now, he broke through the most

difficult barrier; the first win. I looking forward to seeing him playing well in the British open.
