DETROIT (June 2, 2025) – The Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi today announced that Keegan Bradley, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, Zach Johnson, Tom Kim, Min Woo Lee, Aaron Rai and Brandt Snedeker have committed to Detroit’s PGA TOUR tournament, scheduled for June 25-29 at Detroit Golf Club.

These new commitments join former Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi champions Cameron Davis, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler and Nate Lashley, along with 2020 PGA Championship winner and 2021 Open champion Collin Morikawa. Together, they shape one of the strongest fields in tournament history.

The 2025 tournament lineup boasts a combined 68 PGA TOUR wins, 24 Presidents Cup appearances and 21 Ryder Cup appearances among committed players.

Recently named captain of the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Team, Bradley has eight top-25 finishes in his first 13 starts this season. That includes a T-8 performance at the 2025 PGA Championship that elevated him to 17th in the Official World Golf Ranking. A seven-time PGA TOUR winner – including the 2011 PGA Championship – he will return to Detroit Golf Club for the fifth time in June. His best finish came at the 2021 Rocket Classic, where he placed T-14. 

An eight-time PGA TOUR winner and the 16th-ranked player in the world, Cantlay qualified for the 2022 Presidents Cup and won three of his four matches. That same season, he placed second at the Rocket Classic to Finau. Named the 2021 FedExCup Champion, Cantlay has earned more than $52 million across 11 seasons on TOUR. 

Homa has been a key figure in international team competitions in recent years. He represented the U.S. in the Presidents Cup in 2022 and 2024, as well as the Ryder Cup in 2023. Six PGA TOUR wins have helped him earn more than $28 million since his rookie season in 2014.

Johnson, the 2007 Masters and 2015 Open Championship winner, holds 12 career PGA TOUR victories and is set to compete in the Rocket Classic for the seventh time. He has accumulated nearly $50 million throughout his two-decade career on the TOUR.

Kim has notched three tournament victories since joining the PGA TOUR in 2022 and has close to $16 million in career earnings. He has appeared in the Presidents Cup twice (2024, 2024) and represented the Republic of Korea at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Lee claimed his first PGA TOUR victory at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March 2025, edging out Gary Woodland and Scottie Sheffler by one stroke. In just his second year on TOUR, he represented Team Australia at the 2024 Olympic Games and competed for the International Team in the 2024 Presidents Cup.

Rai has advanced through the cut in 75% of the tournaments he has played in since joining the TOUR in 2022, helping him surpass $10 million in winnings. He captured his first victory at the 2024 Wyndham Championship. 

Snedeker, the 2012 FedExCup Champion, was recently named captain of the 2026 U.S. Presidents Cup Team. He has nine PGA TOUR wins and 81 top-10 finishes throughout his career, while securing more than $41 million in prize money. 

Morikawa is the highest-ranked committed player at No. 4 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Other players committed include Rickie Fowler, Tony Finau, Cameron Davis and Nate Lashley. Sponsor exemptions confirmed for the Rocket Classic Presented by AlumniFi include Michigan State’s Ashton McCulloch, University of Mississippi junior Michael La Sasso, Alabama’s Dominic Clemons and the future winner of THE JOHN SHIPPEN National Invitational presented by Rocket.
