Phil Mickelson to play in Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club in May

The Rocket Mortgage Classic already has a more star-studded lineup than last year's inaugural event.

Tournament organizers announced on Tuesday that three big names have confirmed for the late-May event: Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson.

Fowler's commitment is a no-brainer, especially since he is a spokesman for Rocket Mortgage. He is the No. 25 player in the world and was on the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

Watson is a two-time Masters champion and played at the tournament hosted at the Detroit Golf Club last year. He missed the cut after finished one-under-par through two rounds.
