Summary
- Six world-class golfers competed in a unique golf event.
- Golfers teed off from a five-story building onto a custom green.

Downtown Detroit transformed into an extraordinary golf venue for the "Par 3 in the D" event, a special promotion for the final Rocket Classic.
Six of the world's top golfers, including Keegan Bradley, Tony Finau, and Rickie Fowler, demonstrated their precision by teeing off from the roof of the historic five-story UBS Building. Their targets were custom-built greens situated across Woodward Avenue.
This spectacular event was designed to make the final Rocket Classic the most memorable yet. Spectators lined the streets to witness the professionals execute challenging shots between buildings, with wind adding to the difficulty.
Each professional golfer was paired with a local student from organizations like the Midnight Golf Program and the First Tee – Greater Detroit. These students served as caddies, providing encouragement and interacting with the pros, adding a meaningful community aspect to the high-profile event.
