FAR HILLS, N.J. (June 26, 2013) – The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced CordeValle, in San Martin, Calif., as the host of the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open Championship. The championship, which will be conducted July 7-10, will be the first Women’s Open held in the Bay Area and the second USGA championship conducted at CordeValle, which will host the USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship in September 2013.
“The San Francisco area has a rich history of hosting USGA championships, and the USGA is proud to add to that tradition with the U.S. Women’s Open at CordeValle,” said Thomas J. O’Toole Jr., USGA vice president and chairman of the Championship Committee. “Northern California has produced two of today’s most accomplished female players in Women’s Open champions Paula Creamer and Juli Inkster, and we look forward to bringing this championship to such a vibrant golf community.”
“CordeValle is very honored to host the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open Championship and welcomes this opportunity to develop a stronger relationship with the USGA," said Alan Campey, president of CordeValle. “From our acclaimed golf course to our world-class resort facilities, the Women's Open competitors, spectators and guests will have a wonderful experience at CordeValle. And that experience will be bolstered by the crucial support from our club members, local community and financial supporters, without whom this championship would not be possible.”
Former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is a member of the USGA’s Nominating Committee and a professor at Stanford University, will serve as honorary chairman of the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open.
