I’m in NYC today for one of the most exciting announcements — and one of the biggest wins — Toledo has had in years: the 145th U.S. Open is coming to the Inverness Club!

It’s almost impossible for me to describe how big of a deal this is for Toledo, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so honored to be here today for the official announcement. This is the biggest championship in the sport of golf. It is the Super Bowl of golf, the Stanley Cup of golf, the World Series of golf.

The economic impact alone is staggering — last year’s U.S. Open outside of Pittsburgh generated $288.8 million in economic impact for the state of Pennsylvania, with over 2/3rds of that total — $200 million — directly benefitting Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is located. The championship supported 1,500 jobs and saw the average visitor spend $1,200 on his or her 3-night stay.

Imagine the fun we had a few years ago when Inverness hosted the Solheim Cup, and then multiply the economic impact literally by a factor of 5! That’s how big this event will be.

Of course this is a big deal for Inverness, a course where the history of golf has been written. This will be the 5th U.S. Open hosted by Inverness and the 18th championship tournament overall. Inverness is where Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus played in their first U.S. Opens, and Toledo is the city in which a 14-year-old Nicklaus first met his lifelong friend and rival, Arnold Palmer, at the 1954 Ohio Amateur.

But from my perspective, I am most excited about what this says about Toledo. For years the perception has been that while Inverness is a course more than worthy of hosting a U.S. Open, the Toledo market wasn’t strong or dynamic enough to earn the honor. Today’s announcement dispels that myth once and for all. The USGA would not have selected Inverness to host the sport’s biggest championship if it didn’t think Toledo was up to the challenge. Toledoans have always known how special our city is; today’s announcement is more proof that the rest of the world sees our positive momentum too.

With today’s announcement, virtually every U.S. Open site has been chosen thru 2051. Perhaps the best way to frame what this means for Toledo is this: for at least the next 25 years, the U.S. Open will not be going to Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Houston, Phoenix or Denver — but it will be coming to Toledo.

This distinction is important for how the rest of the world thinks about Toledo, but it’s just as important for how we think about ourselves.

In golf as in life, things don’t always go your way. That’s certainly been true of Toledo’s journey over its 189 years as a city. But today Toledo won — and it won big. Let’s enjoy this victory … and build toward our next one!
