The Hoag Classic is televised domestically on The Golf Channel to over 80 million homes, and to over 330 million households in 190 countries internationally. This exposure for our community provides immeasurable benefits and the positive light shed on Newport Beach residually impacts the businesses and individuals who reside here. The Hoag Classic fills hotel rooms, restaurants and businesses, providing an enormous influx of dollars into our economy. An independent study by Economics Research Associates of Los Angeles determined the economic impact of the Hoag Classic on Newport Beach and surrounding communities to be almost $30 million. In 2023 alone, over 3,500 hotel room nights were booked as a result of the Hoag Classic which also equated to restaurant reservations and shopping sprees. Anecdotally, it is no coincidence that in 2019, Gulfstream recorded its second highest grossing sales day in its history on Friday of the Hoag Classic. With Hoag's name now on Orange County's only PGA Tour tournament, held in Newport Beach, the visibility and positive impact on our community will be greater than ever. https://www.dropbox com/s/zgluhsx70tx69m9/23[CHMHOAG%20REV.mp4?d1=0 Anticipated Event Attendance (Indicate participants vs. spectators, if applicable): If the Applicant conducts similar events elsewhere, please provide details including: where, when, safety issues, and if applicable, why the event left its previous location (100-word maximum): The request for City support must include a list of other City No entities or groups (e.g., City Arts Commission, a Business Improvement District, Library support group, etc.) from which the applicant is seeking financial support.
