The first two rounds of the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic have been excellent, with players showing their ability to score low scores at Detroit Golf Club. Unfortunately, if you're a golf fan hoping to tune in for the third round, you'll need to be a little more patient until you get your golf fix.

As of this writing (12:15 pm ET), play at the Rocket Mortgage Classic has been temporarily suspended, PGA Tour Communications released the following on its official X account (formerly Twitter) early today.

Since that initial report, the start of the third round has been pushed back two more times, with a tentative start now scheduled for 12:48 pm ET.

PGA Tour Communications' X account also shared the forecast for today's third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic – but it doesn't look too promising until 4 pm EST. So who knows when the game will start or when on Saturday.

In preparation for the inclement weather, the PGA Tour has announced that Round 3 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic will feature threesomes, intended to help speed up the pace of play in hopes of completing the third round on Saturday. But with fan entry delayed, it will be interesting to see when the tournament takes off and starts today.

In accordance with Detroit newsif the game is postponed at any time during Saturday, fans with Saturday stadium tickets will be allowed to use those tickets on Sunday.

Let's all hope that Mother Nature cooperates and fixes in time so that today's Rocket Mortgage Classic can be played as planned. For those interested in tuning in, the details are below (including the third round pairings).
