Spartan golfer given sponsor exemption to play in the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic
A former Michigan State golfer will be making a start on the PGA Tour this upcoming summer.
After graduating from MSU this past weekend, Ashton McCulloch was given a surprise, presented by former Michigan State Athletics Director Mark Hollis.
McCulloch was gifted a sponsors exemption to play in the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. The tournament is Detroit's PGA Tour event, and will run from June 25-29.
A native of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, McCulloch is a record breaker within the MSU golf program, holding the single-season record for scoring average. A champion of the Canadian Amateur, amongst other amateur championships in Canada, McCulloch is gearing up to make a run at a strong professional career.
McCulloch has made two career starts on tour, playing in the 2024 RBC Canadian Open and the 2024 US Open. He did not make the cut in either event.
Watch the cool interaction between McCulloch and Hollis, where he was given his sponsors exemption:
