Not a minor distinction. Having a major is a big deal for sure.

Announcement today…

The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced it will return to Oak Tree National in 2027 when it will bring the U.S. Senior Open Championship to the prestigious club in Edmond, Oklahoma.

The 2027 U.S. Senior Open will be the third USGA championship to be played at Oak Tree National. Colin Montgomerie defeated Gene Sauers in a three-hole aggregate playoff to win the 2014 Senior Open. In 1984, Scott Verplank, a member of the 1983 NCAA Championship team at Oklahoma State University, posted a 4-and-3 victory over Sam Randolph to capture the U.S. Amateur.

“We are extremely happy as a City to have the Senior Open coming back to Oak Tree again,” said Darrell A. Davis, Mayor of the City of Edmond. “With our rich golf history, it is always great to have this prestigious tournament in our City. We are looking forward to working with Oak Tree and doing all we can to help make this a successful event.”

The economic impact borne out of the opportunity to host national events is significant. An Edmond Economic Development Authority study on the 2014 Senior Open at Oak Tree said the total impact would be nearly $13 million for the local economy.

It should have spurred the roadwork during the last tournament so we shall see if it speeds things up this go around.
