DETROIT – A potential strike that could mar the PGA Tour’s return to Detroit after a decade-long absence has been described as an “attempt to score political points” by Detroit Golf Club president Andy Glassberg.
According to multiple reports, a group of seven groundskeepers and mechanics have threatened a work stoppage ahead of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, the first Tour event in Michigan since 2009 and the first-ever held within Detroit city limits. The employees have reportedly worked for the past year without a contract and have accused club officials of not acting in good faith during the negotiation process.
