THE HISTORY
Formerly known as the Quicken Loans National between 2013 and 2018, the tournament was held across four different golf clubs throughout the 12 editions before moving to Detroit for this year’s edition with Rocket Mortgage taking over the sponsorship title. The tournament has experienced some big-name winners over the years with Tiger Woods and Justin Rose both winning twice while Francesco Molinari claimed last year's title, helping him kick-start his form before winning the Open Championship just a few weeks later. Additionally, this is the highest purse available on the PGA Tour outside of the remaining major and WGC’s until the Northern Trust on the 8th of August, which brings a stronger field than perhaps would traditionally have been the case.
