HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania officials have held out the potential for taxpayer-paid subsidies to help entice the U.S. Golf Association to bring more Opens and elite amateur events to two courses in the state. The USGA last week announced that it will bring nine more Opens for men and women to Oakmont and Merion over the next three decades. Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration officials are describing the USGA’s announcement as a “partnership.” Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman told PennLive that the state’s financial commitment “is more of a handshake right now” and that state officials will assess how the state can help with funding when the USGA requests financial assistance.
