Council reviews Memorial Tournament 50th anniversary branding and approves temporary signage
Summary
City staff and a tournament representative presented the Memorial Tournament's 50th anniversary branding, including large installations and bridge decals; council approved temporary signage and event plans tied to April'June activities and noted coordination on installation and teardown dates.
Heather Diddy, filling in for the tournament's executive director, presented the Memorial Tournament's 50th anniversary branding and schedule, including installation Apr. 20'24, a live debut for some pieces on Apr. 27, and teardown June 8'12 ahead of the tournament week in early June. She said the tournament will feature a 72‑player field and a $20,000,000 purse and highlighted charitable beneficiaries and volunteer involvement.
"If you're not already aware, hopefully you are, it is our 50th anniversary this year," Heather Diddy said, outlining planned oversized golf ball installations, a six‑foot logo, 50 pin flags and new bridge decals. Lisonbee Leroy told council these decals are new for the bridge and staff recommended approval of the signage package to support the tournament's community presence.
Council members welcomed the proposals as a civic and business benefit and approved the temporary signage request on a roll call vote. The items approved include bridge decals, park and plaza installations and other temporary branding elements; staff will coordinate installation, removal and any street or park impacts with event permits and public‑safety planning.
