Sixth-ranked Russell Henley and US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, who jumped to seventh spot on the back of his win in the Travelers Championship last weekend, are not on the entry list.

Min Woo Lee inspired by big sister Minjee's PGA Championship triumph as he details shock phone call
Australian star fires in Detriot just days after big sis wins Major Back-to-form Min Woo Lee admits it's been inspiring to see big sister Minjee walk the walk again in women's golf. The Australian's elder sibling chalked up a third Major win of her career last weekend when triumphant at the KPMG PGA Championship. Lee admits he was shocked to get a call from Minjee on the eve of his outing at the Rocket Classic, but, whatever was said, it worked a treat. The 2021 Genesis Scottish Open champion and this year's Houston Open king produced a stunning 63 in Detroit to charge to the top of the leaderboards. Lee revealed the chat with big sis prior to teeing-off and smiled: 'Normally, she doesn't check up on me, but it was actually quite nice to get a call from her. I was like: Did you butt dial me? What's going on? She's like: No, I just wanted to check in. I was like, oh, okay. She's awesome. 'I think she had a bit of a night on Sunday with a few of her friends. I think they all had a week off this week, so it's good to see her in a nice mental space and happy on the course. She was going through a tough patch the last couple of years, so it's nice to see her have her swagger back. 'I don't think she learns that much off me. I try to learn off her. She's just a beast when she's playing good. 'She just doesn't do much wrong and you just see that step in her walk. You know she's comfortable with her game and you know she's got control. She's already a ball striker, so it's quite cool to see her walk the walk. It's a very cool thing. We're trying to play as good as we can.' Lee has struggled for form since his win in the Houston with missed cuts at the PGA Championship and US Open on last two Majors outings. But he was back in the zone on day one on a course that suited and said: 'You've just got to take care of what's in front of you. I think it's really easy to be like, hey, I shot nine under, I'm the best player in the world feel-wise. But you've still got to go out there and hit some shots and hit all the shots. There's a comfortability factor of yes, you've been playing well, and although I didn't have the A-plus game, you can still score around here. 'I think it's just the confidence that you feel when you go out there, but you still need to go from A to B, which a lot of people keep telling me and that's kind of the motto of this game. It's been, honestly, very bad. 'I didn't feel great on the course, especially playing at a course where when you hit it in the rough, you've literally got to hack out. Oakmont, Memorial. 'Most of the signature events are just very, very tough, and you're nearly playing, instead of four majors, you're playing more Majors because they're trying to make it as tough as possible. 'I was really excited for this week. I wanted to get to hit it in the rough and actually hit it onto the green. It seems so close, but I don't even think I did that much different today and I score 10 times better than what I have been scoring, so at the end of the day, just got to keep your head up and keep going. 'In the long term, you want to play the signature events, you want to play those events and you want to hit it as accurate as possible, but still trying to figure it out. Driver was a big part of that, not knowing where the ball was going. Hopefully, the PGA Tour can have more courses like this. It'll be a bit more fun and less stressful!'

The Car Brand That's Betting Big on Golf's Future
Summary Genesisisn't just a car brand with a tournament on the schedule anymore, it's becoming one of the most visible players in the global golf ecosystem. After years supporting events like the Genesis Invitational and the Genesis Scottish Open, the luxury automaker has now been named the first-ever global official vehicle of thePGA TOURand PGA TOUR Champions, locking in through 2030. The expanded partnership comes with a range of new initiatives, but perhaps the one fans will notice first is the continuation of The World Feed: a live, international broadcast feed produced by PGA TOUR Studios. Designed to give international media partners the freedom to create localized telecasts with their own commentary teams, The World Feed is a step toward modernizing how golf is experienced globally, and it continues this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The Korean brand's expanded role also includes new on-site activations and official mobility duties for players and caddies, meaning more Genesis vehicles at TOUR stops and more visibility around the game. From co-producing the Genesis Invitational withTiger Woodsand the TGR Foundation, to backing TGL and funding youth programs like California Rises, Genesis is doing something not many luxury carmakers are: putting its global marketing muscle behind the future of golf. For those interested in thewhybehind the expanded partnership—and how it ties into fan experience, broadcast strategy, and community investment—PGA TOUR and Genesis are debuting a new program calledDriven, airing before the third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic on CBS.

Tommy Fleetwood Drops Cheery Statement amid Travelers Collapse
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Keegan Bradley's Sunday win at the Travellers Championship marked his first PGA Tour win in 301 days, but for Tommy Fleetwood, it was heartbreak all over again. The Englishman, still chasing his first PGA Tour title, had a one-shot lead walking up to the 18th green at TPC River Highlands. But a missed 6-foot par putt on the final hole, after another bogey on 16, cost him big! Yet, what stood out wasn't just the stumble but his grace in facing it, right after. CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT - JUNE 22: Tommy Fleetwood of England reacts to his shot from the 14th tee during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in... CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT - JUNE 22: Tommy Fleetwood of England reacts to his shot from the 14th tee during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. (Photo by) More Getty Images While stars like Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa have recently skipped media duties after crushing losses, Fleetwood showed up. He was 'angry' but answered every question politely. "I'm upset now. I'm gutted. I'm angry," he admitted. "When it calms down, I'll look at the things I did well, look at the things I can learn from". Then, hours after the dust had settled, Fleetwood did look at the things and lit up X with a cheery message that said it all. "We'll go again!! As always, thanks for being on the journey. See you in Scotland!" We'll go again!! As always, thanks for being on the journey. See you in Scotland! — Tommy Fleetwood (@TommyFleetwood1) June 24, 2025 The post was up just hours after his collapse, reminding us of why he remains one of the most admired figures in golf. Fleetwood's collapse was gut-wrenching. He had played brilliantly all week, posting rounds of 66, 65, and 63 before a final-round 72 undid his hopes. He was tied with Russell Henley at 14 under par. Interestingly, it was his 42nd top-10 finish on the PGA Tour, the most by any player since 1983, but without a win. Speaking to reporters, Fleetwood reflected on the loss with remarkable clarity. "Right now I would love to just go and sulk somewhere, and maybe I will do," he said. "But there's just no point making it a negative for the future, really. Just take the positives and move on". The 34-year-old's next stop will be the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in East Lothian, Scotland, from July 10–13. It'll be his 11th appearance at the event, where he finished runner-up in 2020. The field is stacked with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, and defending champion Robert MacIntyre - all confirmed to tee it up.
