Bryson DeChambeau will be looking to become the first golfer to successfully retain the Rocket Mortgage Classic title.
The American star is among the favourites to win the tournament and he is placed sixth in the Official World Golf Rankings.
DeChambeau, who is a former world number four, has won eight times on the
PGA Tour and two on the European Tour.

The California-born golfer won his first and only golf major in 2020 as he clinched the US Open and his six-under par total gave him a six stroke victory over Matthew Wolff.
DeChambeau was the only player under par in the final round, with a three-under par 67 and the only player to finish under par for the tournament.
The 27-year-old won last year's Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan, by three strokes over Wolff.
DeChambeau is coming into this year's tournament having won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2021 after he shot a final round one-under 71 to defeat Lee Westwood by one shot.

DeChambeau has stated that he is focusing on making his iron shots into greens to give himself the best chance to make birdie when discussing his game last month.
“I'm going to be focusing mainly on accomplishing how do I hit iron shots into greens to give myself the best chance to give myself the ability to make birdie,” DeChambeau said.
“There was a lot of times last year where I hit decent enough drives.
"But I just didn't feel like I was hitting shots in the correct quadrants of the greens or giving myself opportunities on par 5s like I should have.”
