Three Spartans listed in the field for the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic
Starting on Thursday, the PGA Tour is returning to Detroit, for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. This will be the seventh edition of the tournament in Detroit, the PGA Tour's return to Michigan.
For the event coming to Detroit, the Spartans are going to be nicely represented, with there being a trio of players from the Michigan State golf program set to play in the event.
Ryan Brehm, a long time PGA Tour veteran, and a 2008 graduate of Michigan State that helped lead MSU to three Big Ten Championships, will be the Spartans headliner in the event. The one-time PGA Tour winner, and Mt. Pleasant native, will look to tally his second win while in Detroit.
James Piot will also make his return to the PGA Tour. The 2021 US Amateur Champion and a 2021 MSU graduate, Piot played in the Masters Tournament and the US Open with his amateur status after winning the 2021 US Am. After turning pro, he played on the LIV Golf Tour for a year. He has joined the field as an unrestricted sponsors exemption.
Ashton McCulloch is the final Spartan in the field. A 2025 graduate, McCulloch still has his amateur status, and will be making his fourth start on the PGA Tour. It is expected that he will likely turn pro following this event, where he got in with a sponsors exemption.

PGA Tour Rocket Classic Sees Former LIV Golfer in the Field
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. Regarding LIV Golf players, the PGA Tour has its position perfectly clear: they cannot return until one year has passed since their last appearance in the Saudi-backed league. Although there are cases of former LIV golfers who have already met that deadline, it is still notable that they have not sought to return to the PGA Tour, at least not on a permanent basis. One such case is that of James Piot, a 26-year-old who will be making his first PGA Tour start since 2022 next weekend. Piot has played only seven American-based circuit events in his career, four of them as an amateur. The player received a sponsor's exemption to play in the Rocket Classic, which is held at the Detroit Golf Club, in his hometown.

MoreMark Hollis, one of the directors of Rock Ventures and the Rocket Classic, told the Detroit News details about this decision: "There was a lot of support, and it was one or the happiest calls I've made. He's somebody we wanted in from the get-go as we were going through the process. It had to play out the way it played out," Hollis said. Piot, for his part, described the idea of being able to play in his hometown: "For it to actually happen is the coolest thing in the world. It's awesome. Just the fact I finally get to play in the Rocket Classic, it's a dream come true. Ever since the event was created on the schedule, I wanted to be a part of it," he said. A very revealing detail is that Piot was preparing to play in the Monday qualifier to try to win a spot in the event when he received the call from the sponsors. James Piot had a distinguished amateur career, highlighted by his 2021 US Amateur title. He graduated from Michigan State in 2022, beginning his professional career in May of that year. 🚨👀⛳️ #NEW — James Piot has been added to the field at The Rocket Mortgage Classic on an unrestricted sponsors exemption. The move is significant as he completed a 2-year stint with LIV Golf, before being relegated at the end of 2023. Piot is a Michigan native. — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 23, 2025 Opportunities to play on the PGA Tour immediately arose, and he teed off at the Charles Schwab Challenge and the Memorial Tournament. However, after playing in the 2022 US Open, he decided to answer the call of LIV Golf, effectively closing PGA Tour's door to date. Piot played 21 individual LIV Golf events in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. His results were generally poor, and he was relegated at the end of his second season. Since then, he has been playing primarily on the Asian Tour. Piot had already played one tournament under the PGA Tour umbrella in April of this year: the LECOM Suncoast Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour. The list of former LIV Golf players who have returned to the PGA Tour is extremely short. Bernd Wiesberger and Laurie Canter played in the 2024 Scottish Open, but only because it's a co-sanctioned event with the DP World Tour. Canter himself became the first former LIV player to make the field of a tournament run solely by the PGA Tour when he played in the 2025 Players Championship.

Spartans star Jase Richardson slides in latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft
Could Michigan State basketball star Jase Richardson be in for a long night on Wednesday? The latest mock draft from ESPN suggests that could be the case. The latest NBA Mock Draft on has Richardson slipping nearly out of the first round. In this updated mock draft (which was released on Monday), Richardson goes No. 25 overall to the Orlando Magic. Per NBA Draft insider Jonathan Givony, Richardson being left off the green room invitations list suggests a fall on Wednesday night could occur. Here's the full write-up from Givony on Richardson: "Richardson is the highest-ranked player (No. 18) on the ESPN big board not to get invited to the NBA draft green room (24 players invited), leaving some uncertainty about where he might end up being selected. "His draft range starts around No. 16 with Memphis, which has drafted several players in the past few years with similar statistical profiles and might end up having a backcourt void to fill soon, all the way to the mid-20s portion of the first round. "The Magic are another team that could look to add shooting and backcourt depth and might be intrigued by Richardson's scoring efficiency, defensive intensity and ability to play without the ball." Richardson starred for the Spartans in his lone season in college, averaging 12.1 points per game and shooting above 40% from three-point range. This strong play had Richardson once projected as a lottery pick by many, but he has gradually dropped in the mocks during the draft process. He is still widely considered a lock to be selected in the first round, but that could potentially becoming less of a lock now. We will find out where Richardson lands in the next few days, with the NBA Draft scheduled to take place on Wednesday and Thursday. The first round will take place on Wednesday and the second round on Thursday.
