TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – The U.S. Open is set to return to Toledo in what Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz is calling one of the biggest wins for the city in years.
Toledo’s own Inverness Club is slated to host the U.S. Open in 2045.
Kapszukiewicz said in a statement that he’s in New York City on Saturday for the announcement. He said the economic impact for the region when the biggest event in golf comes to Toledo is staggering, but he’s most excited for what this decision says about the city.
“For years the perception has been that while Inverness is a course more than worthy of hosting a U.S. Open, the Toledo market wasn’t strong or dynamic enough to earn the honor. Today’s announcement dispels that myth once and for all,” Mayor Kapszukiewicz said. “The USGA would not have selected Inverness to host the sport’s biggest championship if it didn’t think Toledo was up to the challenge. Toledoans have always known how special our city is; today’s announcement is more proof that the rest of the world sees our positive momentum too.”

The Blade’s David Briggs is calling the news the greatest sporting prize in the city’s history.
“This isn’t just an enormous event for a mid-sized city. It’s a championship that is monumental anywhere, and the places entrusted with it are few,” Briggs wrote. “This isn’t just an enormous event for a mid-sized city.
