If Regina wins bid, Wascana Country Club would host event
The City of Regina has voted to throw its support behind a bid to host an LPGA event in a few years time. It plans to bid $100,000 to host the 2018 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament.
City council voted on the matter Tuesday evening.
Mayor Michael Fougere said the benefits from hosting such an event would be significant for the city.
“The advertising that we get, the showcasing of our city and that beautiful golf course will be incredible for the week or ten days that it’s on,” he said. “Internationally, it will be great for us.”
