DETROIT (May 29, 2025) – The Rocket Classic today announced it has reached an agreement with AlumniFi to serve as the local presenting sponsor for Detroit’s PGA TOUR tournament to compliment the event’s sponsor, Rocket. In Detroit and surrounding local markets, the tournament’s official name will transition to the Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi.
In addition to local media and prominent on-site branding across a variety of fan-facing materials at Detroit Golf Club, the company will have a strong and visible presence throughout the tournament. AlumniFi will serve as the presenting sponsor of both the Heritage Club – the tournament’s premier hospitality venue – and AREA 313’s Fan Village, a gathering space offering incredible views of the 16th and 17th holes.
AlumniFi will also become the presenting sponsor of the Rocket Classic’s youth tickets and Folds of Honor Friday. Youth tickets offer complimentary admission for fans 15 years of age and under with a ticketed adult. Folds of Honor Friday will feature a patriotic ceremony and the national anthem, with fans encouraged to wear red, white and blue. In addition, AlumniFi will be the official credit union of the Rocket Classic.
“We’re proud to welcome AlumniFi as a partner in expanding the Rocket Classic’s ability to impact lives and strengthen our community,” said Bill Emerson, President of Rocket Companies and the Rocket Giving Fund. “Both of our organizations are rooted in Michigan, and we share a deep commitment to lifting up the communities we serve. This tournament has become more than a summer tradition in Detroit, it’s a powerful platform for change. Partnering with AlumniFi helps us take that mission even further.”
Added April Clobes, President/CEO of AlumniFi: “Partnering with the Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi is a natural fit for our company, as we have long admired the ways that this event not only showcases world-class golf but also creates a lasting impact in Detroit communities through its Changing the Course initiative. As a digital-first brand of MSU Federal Credit Union, we are always looking for ways to provide value to our customers in new ways, and that mission aligns perfectly with the Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi.”
