The Sanford International will be staying in Sioux Falls at least through 2030.

The PGA Tour Champions event, held at Minnehaha Country Club, reached an agreement on a three-year extension with the club’s board of directors.

“We are thrilled to receive the support from the Minnehaha Country Club members and board of directors to extend this community event through 2030. MCC is a tremendous host venue, and we look forward to working with their team to continue bringing the legends of golf to Sioux Falls for the next five years,” tournament director Davis Trosin said in a statement.

“Our team is also incredibly grateful to the leadership at Sanford Health for their unwavering commitment to making this event possible. The Tour players consistently share how much they enjoy playing a championship-level course in front of the enthusiastic support of our community and tournament partners. This is great news for Sioux Falls and everyone involved with this event.”

During the first eight years of the Sanford International, some of golf’s greatest players have participated in the tournament and corresponding events, including Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, Hale Irwin, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer, Davis Love III, John Daly and Steve Stricker.

“Minnehaha Country Club is proud to extend our commitment to host the Sanford International through 2030,” chief operating officer Bret Coad said.

“This tournament extension would not be possible without the generous support of our members and their families. Thank you. We would also like to thank Sanford Heath, First Premier Bank, Premier Bankcard, Mastercard and the many dedicated sponsors, volunteers and staff who make the Sanford International such an incredible event for our community. It is my great privilege to lead our extraordinary team, and together we look forward to proudly showcasing Minnehaha Country Club to the players and patrons here at home and around the world.”

Since 2018, the tournament has been responsible for more than $160 million in estimated economic impact to the Sioux Falls region.
