Two-time Rocket Classic champion Cameron Davis headlines the newest additions to the PGA Tour event's field, announced Tuesday.
The Australian player won the 2021 tournament in a playoff, and captured his second title in 2024 by a single stroke. Davis sits as the only player to have won the classic twice since it launched in 2019, and will be making his seventh Rocket appearance this year.
Sam Burns is ranked No. 17 in the Official World Golf Ranking and will be making his third appearance in the Rocket. The five-time PGA Tour winner finished runner-up in the 2026 U.S. Open, and is also a two-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team.
