“This relationship with Pebble Beach, long considered a national treasure, is a historic step forward for golf,” Mike Whan, CEO of USGA, said. “In addition to elevating our Open championships, the USGA and Pebble Beach are committed to working together to ensure a more diverse, welcoming and accessible game. We couldn’t be more thankful for their collaboration and like-minded vision.”
Beyond the future championships, the USGA and Pebble Beach are developing community-based programs to create internships and other career opportunities for the next generation of industry leaders. The expanded relationship also includes a joint initiative with the USGA’s Green Section to invest in turfgrass and water conservation research, contributing to the entities’ shared goal of creating enjoyable golf experiences that are environmentally and economically sustainable.
“Through this relationship, we aim to foster opportunities for future greats of the game, nurture golf’s next generation of leaders and develop new technologies for a sustainable future, all while crowning champions who will follow the legends who walked these hallowed grounds before them,” Whan said.
