The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club has been exciting, with players achieving impressive low scores in the first two rounds. However, golf fans eagerly awaiting the third round will need to remain patient, as play has been delayed due to weather.
As of 12:15 p.m. ET, the PGA Tour Communications announced on its official X (formerly Twitter) account that play is still suspended. The start of the third round has been postponed twice, with the latest update projecting a hopeful start at 12:48 p.m. ET.
The weather forecast shared by PGA Tour Communications suggests that conditions might not improve until around 4 p.m. ET, leaving the schedule uncertain for the rest of Saturday. To mitigate delays, the PGA Tour has organized players into threesomes for Round 3, aiming to speed up the pace of play and complete the round today. However, fan entry has also been delayed, making the day’s schedule unpredictable.
The Detroit News reported that if play is postponed further on Saturday, fans with Saturday tickets can use them on Sunday. Everyone is hopeful that the weather will clear up, allowing the tournament to proceed as planned. For those planning to watch, details are below.
