Mike Tirico has lived in Michigan for 22 years with his family and he says the Rocket Mortgage Classic is one of his favorite weekends of the summer. The sportscaster caught up with Jeanna Trotman about why the Rocket Mortgage Classic is so important to the city of Detroit and how this tournament is crucial to the PGA Tour's competition with the Saudi-backed LIV tour.

"There's a diversity to the gallery that you don't see at other tour events. For me, it's one of the better ones on tour." pic.twitter.com/o7RMBaUh5V
Tirico also emcee'd the RMC media day, as well as the charity tee shot on the 15th hole at Detroit Golf Club.
Me explaining to @miketirico how dreadful it was to hit a tee shot in front of him & then hitting said dreaded tee shot in front of him. #Lefty (?)
