A $10 million purse is at stake Sunday in the Motor City as the PGA Tour’s penultimate regular season event will see its final 18 holes played but not without a little unforeseen drama from Mother Nature.
Storms overnight and into Sunday morning have forced the Tour’s hand, bumping final round tee times — which will be revealed after the conclusion of the third round Saturday — and having players go off in groupings, rather than the expected pairings.
Live final-round action runs 1 to 3 p.m. on Golf Channel and Golf Channel mobile, with CBS taking over the late afternoon broadcast.
Due to forecasted storms and rain overnight and into Sunday morning, tee times for the final round of the Rocket Classic will run from approximately 10:45 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. ET in groups of three from Nos. 1 and 10.

Davis Riley is the leader at 15 under, a shot ahead of Michael Brennan entering Sunday’s final round. They will play the last 18 with Rasmus Hojgaard’s who shot a 61 on Moving Day.
For the third day in a row the mark for single-lowest round in course history was tied as Hojgaard followed Cameron Young and Peter Malnati with a 9-under 61.
All three rounds were bogey-free, with Young going for six straight birdies on Friday. Brennan was actually the one who carded eight consecutive circles a day prior, one off the Tour record.
Young, the tournament favorite and 2026 Open Championship runner-up, is T-3 going into tomorrow. He is three shots off Riley’s lead.
The Rocket Classic final round tee times will be posted in this story when available Saturday evening.
