Summary

Representative Sawyer presented a $75,000 one-time request to support capital improvements related to the PGA Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship to be held in Weber County.

Representative Sawyer asked the subcommittee for a one-time $75,000 appropriation to support capital improvements for the PGA Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship, which this year will be hosted at Ogden Country Club in Weber County.

Sawyer said Oakridge Country Club in Davis County had hosted the event historically, and the tournament previously produced significant local economic impacts. She cited prior economic-impact figures: more than $3.4 million to Davis County historically and $5 million to Utah’s economy, with global media value estimated at $24 million, though the transcript did not provide underlying studies or citations for those figures.

The subcommittee did not vote on the RFA during the Feb. 7 meeting; the request will be evaluated in prioritization.
