U.S. Women’s Open Adds Presenting Sponsor, Five Future Host Sites

The United States Golf Association revealed five future U.S. Women’s Open host sites on Friday and also announced that it has agreed to a long-term partnership with ProMedica that includes presenting partner rights for the U.S. Women’s Open, notably elevating the championship through a $10 million purse, nearly double what it had previously been.

The U.S. Women’s Open will visit Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, in 2026; Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, in 2027; Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina, in 2029; Interlachen Country Club in Edina, Minnesota, in 2030; and Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 2031 and 2042.

“The USGA prides itself on conducting championships that not only provide an incredible stage for the athletes, but also give younger players something to dream about,” said Mike Whan, USGA chief executive officer. “For more than 75 years, the U.S. Women’s Open has been the one that every little girl, in every country around the world, has dreamed of winning. This partnership with ProMedica allows us to substantially grow the championship in every way, from its purpose, to its purse, to the places that host the event. While I’m incredibly proud of what we are announcing today, I know this is just the beginning, as together with ProMedica, we’ll push to change the game and what it means to young women worldwide in order to reach new heights every year.”

Key to the partnership is a joint commitment by the organizations to highlight the importance of addressing health inequities across the United States. ProMedica will also utilize the global stage the U.S. Women’s Open provides to generate charitable dollars for its ProMedica Impact Fund, which will become the official charity of the U.S. Women’s Open.

“With this unprecedented partnership, both organizations are breaking new ground,” said Randy Oostra, ProMedica president and chief executive officer. “ProMedica will benefit from taking its work in social determinants of health onto a national stage, while the USGA will benefit from the opportunity to embrace a not-for-profit organization whose mission and support will elevate its signature women’s event.”
