PODCAST:
Dec. 9, 2025 ~ Rocket Entertainment Group COO and former MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis joins Chris Renwick, Jamie Edmonds, and Lloyd Jackson to talk about taking over the role as executive director of the Rocket Classic golf tournament.
DETROIT ~ Former Michigan State University Athletic Director and host of WJR‘s “‘JR Morning,” Mark Hollis, was named the director of the Rocket Classic, Detroit‘s PGA tournament.
“It has to be a value to the members of the Detroit Golf Club, who consider this their backyard where we’re playing,” Hollis told WJR. “It’s like if you had a backyard party and the neighborhood was back there all summer, it has to be good for you to give your backyard up. That’s what they do. It has to be good for the community. It has to be good for not only Rocket, but (for) nearly 200 corporate partners that are involved.”
The next Rocket Classic is set for July 30-Aug. 2, 2026.
