Barry Sanders among Rocket Mortgage Classic pro-am celebrities; tee times announced
Detroit — Tee times have been announced for the Rocket Mortgage Classic pro-am, set for Wednesday at Detroit Golf Club.
Also, the list of celebrities taking part was released, though their tee times or playing partners weren't announced. They will be determined at Tuesday's pairings party.
Among the celebrities participating: Musician and Metro Detroit native Kid Rock, Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo, Lions Hall-of-Fame running back Barry Sanders, Steelers Super Bowl-winning running back and Detroit native Jerome Bettis, Red Wings Justin Abdelkader, Danny DeKeyser and Jimmy Howard, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Red Wings broadcaster Mickey Redmond.
It'll be interesting to see what Kid Rock wears. He was known to wear overalls, beer in tow, when playing in the old Buick Open pro-ams.
Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, laughed when asked if he was given a dress code. Then he said, no, he has not.
