6/25/2025 | Men's Golf
DETROIT – Ole Miss men's golfer Michael La Sasso will tee it up this week at the 2025 Rocket Classic, June 26-29 at Detroit Golf Club. It will be La Sasso's PGA TOUR debut after receiving a surprise invitation from tournament representatives.
La Sasso is currently third in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and is scheduled to play three more TOUR events in the month of July.
The Rocket Classic made history in 2019 as the first PGA TOUR event ever held in the city of Detroit and has continued to make a positive and lasting impact on the city and its residents through its multi-year "Changing the Course" campaign, established in 2020 to end the digital divide in Detroit and ensure digital accessibility for all city residents.
The Rocket Classic was the most awarded event during the 2018-19 PGA TOUR season, being recognized for "Best Special Event" (then known as the AREA 313 Celebrity Challenge) and "Best Tournament Sales" as well as being honored with the first "Fair Way Award" for its diversity and inclusion initiatives. The Fair Way Award was bestowed upon the Rocket Classic again in 2023 and 2024, and in 2024 the tournament also received the Best Volunteer Program award. More information is available at RocketClassic.com and on Facebook, X and Instagram (@RocketClassic).
