The USGA is hosting an NFL Experience-type of Fan Fest event during the week of the U.S. Open golf tournament in Los Angeles, June 15-18
Called the U.S. Open Showcase, it will take place at Westfield Century City shopping mall. The tournament is just a few miles away at the Los Angeles Country Club.
The U.S. Open Showcase will feature live watch parties of the NBCU broadcast on an enormous big screen, live recordings of popular golf and entertainment-themed podcasts such as The Fried Egg and Group Golf Therapy, a performance from musician Kelley James and several celebrity guest appearances. More programming will be announced in the coming weeks.
It will also have interactive club-in-hand experiences, a U.S. Open merchandise pop-up shop, a First Tee Game Changers exhibit and several interactive experiences including the U.S. Open Trophy Tour presented by Lexus, access to the Corona Premier Clubhouse and the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing Lemon Wedge from the Dewar’s ® Golf Cart, the official cocktail of the U.S. Open.
“Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world, known for its great art, music, sports and comedy, and we wanted to find a way to combine that with the excitement of the U.S. Open to bring fans a unique and engaging experience,” said Jon Podany, chief commercial officer for the USGA. “This event will bring the ‘bigness’ of the U.S. Open to the city’s sports fans, while also celebrating the community’s local flavor with entertainment and programming.”
The Showcase will be open Thursday through Sunday of championship week. Entertainment and programming during the day will cater to a family-friendly environment with live golf and podcasts, while the night sessions will be geared toward older audiences and feature live music, DJ sets and comedy shows.
This is the first time in 75 years the U.S. Open has been played in Los Angeles.
