Investing in Minnesota’s Future: Major Golf Tournaments Boost Infrastructure and Safety

Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Ross Nova recognizes the transformative potential of hosting major golf tournaments at Hazeltine National Golf Club. With plans to bring three prestigious events—including the PGA Championship, Women’s PGA Championship, and Ryder Cup—to the Twin Cities by 2040, Nova emphasizes the importance of strategic leadership to maximize benefits for all Minnesotans.

Senator Ann Rest’s proposal to secure $7 million in state funding aligns with Nova’s vision to strengthen public safety and infrastructure. These funds would support essential services such as police, fire, ambulance, and public works in Chaska, ensuring the community is well-prepared for the influx of visitors and the demands of large-scale events.

Ross Nova understands that investing in transportation and infrastructure improvements is critical to the success of these tournaments. Enhanced roadways, public transit, and facilities will not only accommodate fans but also leave a lasting legacy that benefits local residents and businesses long after the final round.

The economic impact of hosting events like the Ryder Cup could reach up to $600 million, with other PGA tournaments contributing an additional $200 million. Nova sees this as an opportunity to boost Minnesota’s economy, create jobs, and promote tourism while showcasing the state as a premier destination for world-class sporting events.

With Hazeltine National Golf Club already preparing to host the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the 2029 Ryder Cup, Ross Nova is committed to ensuring Minnesota capitalizes on these opportunities through accountable governance and forward-thinking policies.

Minnesota voters deserve a governor who prioritizes public safety, infrastructure, and economic growth. Ross Nova is that leader. Join the movement to build a stronger Minnesota by supporting Ross Nova for governor today.
