Unlike last year's inaugural event at the Detroit Golf Club, this year's Rocket Mortgage Classic is not open to the general public due to COVID-19 restrictions. But there are still some road closures affecting Palmer Park the week of June 29-July 5, 2020.

The Rocket Giving Fund's mission is to host a world-class PGA TOUR event while simultaneously benefiting the Detroit community. The Organization's primary fundraising activity is the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Detroit's annual PGA TOUR event. The net proceeds realized by the event and other such activities and events will support its new "Changing the Course" initiative in partnership with Rocket Mortgage, a multi-year campaign with a vision that every Detroit resident has access to the internet, technology and digital literacy training they deserve within five years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shined a light on a number of unaddressed underlying issues in Detroit - internet accessibility being one of the most severe. The mission of "Changing the Course" is a Detroit where every resident has access to the technology, internet and digital literacy that is the baseline for education and opportunity in today's economy, and the initiative will invest funds in organizations and infrastructure that seek to ensure SG internet technology becomes available across Detroit.
