Get Ready to Scramble: Celebrity Showdown at AREA 313!
Hold onto your hats, golf fans, because Detroit is about to get a whole lot more star-studded! The Rocket Mortgage Classic is back and bringing the heat with its pre-tournament festivities, especially the highly anticipated AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble. This ain’t your grandma’s golf tournament, folks. We’re talkin’ big names, big swings, and even bigger personalities, all teeing off for a chance to conquer the legendary AREA 313.
What’s the Deal with AREA 313?
Picture this: It’s a Tuesday evening, the sun is setting over the lush fairways of Detroit Golf Club, and you’re caught in the electrifying buzz of the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble. This ain’t just some random exhibition match, people. This is where legends are made…or at least where they try not to shank one into the gallery.
This three-hole showdown, happening on June , takes over holes fourteen through sixteen, aptly named AREA 313. Six teams, each with four players, will battle it out for bragging rights and, let’s be real, probably some pretty sweet prizes.
And who are these fierce competitors, you ask?
From the Court to the Course: The Star-Studded Lineup
We’re talking a mix of PGA Tour pros paired with athletes, celebs, and maybe even a few lucky corporate sponsors (hey, gotta keep the lights on!). Think of it like a golf-themed episode of your favorite reality competition show, but with way less drama…hopefully.
So far, the confirmed list reads like a who’s who of Michigan sports icons. Get ready to cheer on:
- Tom Izzo, the mastermind behind Michigan State’s basketball dynasty (and reigning champ of this very scramble!). Can he make it a three-peat?
- Calvin Johnson, aka Megatron, the Lions legend who could probably catch a golf ball mid-air.
- Chris Webber, basketball Hall of Famer with some serious skills both on and off the court.
- Aidan Hutchinson, the Lions’ defensive powerhouse who’s already proven he knows how to handle pressure.
And hold up, because two more celebrity guests are yet to be announced! Stay tuned, because you won’t wanna miss this epic clash of titans (and maybe a few airmailed tee shots).
Want In on the Action? Here’s How to Catch the Scramble
Listen up, folks, because this is where it gets good: admission and parking are absolutely FREE. That’s right, you can witness this star-studded spectacle without spending a dime. Just head on over to Detroit Mercy (that’s at W McNichols Rd. for you GPS junkies) and hop on the free shuttle service to Detroit Golf Club. Easy peasy, right?
So grab your friends, slather on that sunscreen, and get ready for an unforgettable day of golf, laughs, and maybe even a few autographs. You never know who you might rub shoulders with at the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble!

Pro-Am Pairing Party: Rub Elbows With the Pros
Alright, listen up because this is big: on Tuesday, June 25th, you can mingle with the PGA Tour pros themselves at the Pro-Am Pairing Party!

Last year, Rickie Fowler clinched a dramatic victory, proving that he’s back and better than ever. But can he defend his title against a field stacked with young guns like Tom Kim and Will Zalatoris? Only time will tell, my friend. One thing’s for sure: it’s gonna be one heck of a tournament!
Hutchinson’s Star Power: From Gridiron to Green
Speaking of star power, let’s talk about Aidan Hutchinson for a hot sec. This dude isn’t just a beast on the football field, he’s also bringing the heat to the golf course. Announced as a participant in the Celebrity Scramble, Hutchinson’s presence is proof that Detroit loves this guy…and why not? He helped end the Lions’ playoff drought, tallied an impressive 11.5 sacks in his rookie season, and seems like a genuinely good dude. What’s not to love?
Can Izzo’s Team Three-Peat?
Hold on to your hats, folks, because coach Tom Izzo isn’t messing around! With two consecutive Celebrity Scramble victories under his belt, he’s back for a fifth appearance and gunning for a three-peat. This guy knows how to win, whether it’s on the hardwood or the fairway. Will his team reign supreme once again? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: you don’t want to bet against Tom Izzo!
