2008 U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
San Diego golfers, along with the San Diego golf and hospitality industry get their "Big Break" with the selection of the Torrey Pines South Course to host the United States Golf Association (USGA) 2008 U.S. OPEN Golf Championship beginning June 12, 2008. Torrey Pines is only the second municipal golf course ever selected to host this prestigious golf event. The Black Course at Bethpage, N.Y. was the first in 2002.
San Diego is expected to roll-out the red carpet to accommodate the 40,000 or more fans that are expected to attend each day. Although San Diego has Super Bowl hosting experience, event organizers and city officials predict the U.S. OPEN at Torrey Pines will out perform past Super Bowls as the most economically profitable sporting event ever hosted by the City of San Diego. This high profile golf event will bring millions of dollars to the local economy.
