Pasco County is considering a Sports Event Funding Agreement with 50 Flag Events LLC for the Tampa Bay Amateur golf tournament. This event is planned for June 1-4, 2026, at TPC Tampa Bay. Approximately 75 elite amateur golfers, aged 15-23, are expected to participate, with about 67% needing overnight stays. While the golf course is outside Pasco County, organizers plan to use and promote Pasco County hotels, including SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn, and Hilton Garden Inn. The project is currently under review, with a funding recommendation of $1,644.00 based on room nights generated in Pasco County hotels. This agreement will involve tracking and reporting room nights, with potential audits. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in hospitality and related fields may find opportunities as the event organizers finalize plans and secure accommodations. Early engagement could provide an advantage before final bookings and reporting are settled.
