Sunday’s final round at the Rocket Classic is starting later than usual, and the leaders can thank the weather forecast. The PGA Tour pushed final-round tee times back to the late morning to steer around overnight storms in Detroit that are predicted to go on into Sunday, according to AccuWeather.
The shift comes after a Saturday that produced the round of the year at Detroit Golf Club, with the lead changing hands in dramatic fashion. Third-round action began at 7:30 a.m. Sunday’s leaders won’t tee off until hours later.
“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. â 12:45 p.m. ET in groups of three from Nos. 1 and 10,” the PGA Tour wrote in a Saturday announcement, according to the Detroit Free Press . That’s a later start for the leaders and an earlier one for the back of the field compared with a standard Sunday broadcast window, splitting the field between the first and 10th tees to shorten the time needed to finish.
Play is expected to wrap around 5:45 p.m., unless there’s a playoff. Gates will open to fans at 9:30 a.m., according to The Detroit News , with hospitality service beginning at 11 a.m.
