After decades of waiting — and a year of careful negotiations — the U.S. Open is finally headed back to Los Angeles.
The U.S. Golf Assn. will announce early Wednesday morning that Los Angeles Country Club has agreed to host the 2023 national championship.
The deal culminates a long courtship in which the USGA wooed the revered — and traditionally aloof — club, hoping that membership would someday open its gates to the world.
"This is a wonderful thing for golf," said Tom O'Toole, the association's president. "Just a special opportunity."
Officials said the arrangement required concessions from both sides, and a pivotal vote by LACC members.
