Inside the Field: Rocket Mortgage Classic

The PGA TOUR heads to Detroit for the sixth playing of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. Rickie Fowler triumphed at last year's event in a three-man playoff against Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin. Fifteen-year-old Miles Russell makes his PGA TOUR debut, along with current PGA TOUR Americas member Neal Shipley, who earned low amateur honors at this year's Masters and U.S. Open.

The PGA TOUR uses a standardized system for determining event fields based on the current season’s Priority Ranking while also including additional exemption and qualifying categories.

Field sizes can vary by event, as can the number of event-specific exemptions. Fully exempt PGA TOUR members are guaranteed entry into all full-field events, with various conditional categories subject to periodic reshuffles based upon FedExCup Points accrued throughout the season. Categories with "reshuffle" notation indicate that a reshuffle period has occurred.

Note: An additional year of eligibility was granted to some categories because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
