Rickie Fowler will play at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic! The main event will take place from July 1-4 and Fowler will be a part of the star-studded field at the Detroit Golf Club this year. The 32-year-old will make his third appearance at the tournament. 

Rickie Fowler has been playing at the Rocket Mortgage Classic ever since its inception. He finished 46th in 2019 with a score of 9-under par. Fowler improved his record in 2020 and achieved a Top 15 finish. He stood 12th on the leaderboard after four rounds and shot a career-low round 5-under 67 twice (Round 1 & Round 4).
