There's a record purse of $12 million at stake, with the winner taking home $2.4 million.
LANCASTER, Pa. — As the world’s best female golfers descend on Lancaster Country Club for this week’s U.S. Women’s Open, the local business community in the surrounding area is gearing up for an uptick in customers.
"We saw a few golfers were probably in for dinner last night," said John Moeller, the owner and head chef of Greenfield Restaurant and Bar, located just outside the country club."I'm seeing an increase at this point in time, and as we move through Saturday, it's going to be definitely a good impact on the business for the week here."
"When it comes to tourism impacts, there's direct, indirect and induced," said Joel Cliff, the communications director for Discover Lancaster."That third level of induced, which I think a lot of people forget about, is that employee spending further dollars within the local market. So all in all, it benefits a lot of different businesses that you might not necessarily think about when you think about the tournament.
