Golden Nugget Online Gaming tees off with Rocket Mortgage Classic
Operator will serve as national casino partner this weekend and in 2022.
Golden Nugget Online Gaming on Wednesday said it has partnered with Detroit’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Per the agreement, terms of which were not announced, GoldenNuggetCasino.com will be the official national casino partner of the golf tournament in 2021 and 2022.
This year’s tournament will be held this weekend, July 1-4, at the historic Detroit Golf Club in Michigan. GNOG said it will have on-site branding and will give away premier golf bags, all-inclusive hospitality upgrades to Club 1899, prizes, Golden Lines odds boosts on wagers placed during the tournament, and an exclusive promotional casino and sportsbook bonus for tournament attendees.
According to organizers, the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic has drawn 156 of the world’s best golfers including Phil Mickelson (pictured), Bryson DeChambeau, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama, Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson, Matthew Wolf and more.
The third annual tournament will be nationally broadcast on PGA Live, Golf Channel and CBS over the July 4th weekend.
In 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic made history as the first PGA Tour event held in the city of Detroit. Officials said in a statement the tournament has “continued to make a positive and lasting impact on the city and its residents” through its multi-year Changing the Course campaign, which was established in 2020 to end the digital divide in Detroit and ensure digital accessibility for all city residents.
“We are proud to partner with the prestigious Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament in 2021 and 2022,” Samir Banerjee, director of marketing for GNOG, said in a statement. “Our continued commitment to making an impact in local communities perfectly aligns with the mission of the Rocket Mortgage Giving Fund by hosting a world-class PGA Tour event that benefits the Detroit community, and connects the golfing community with a world-class online casino and sportsbook experience at GoldenNuggetCasino.com.”
