After the latest Ryder Cup triumph, England Golf is calling on the government to underwrite its bid to stage the premier women's golf event on English soil for the first time.

This elite contest pitting the top women players of Europe and America has taken place on two occasions in Scotland as well as once in Wales yet never in England. A bid has been prepared to hold it at The Grove in Hertfordshire in 2030.

But planners need £30m to finance the bid and currently only £10m is in place. England Golf is requesting government funding to underwrite the shortfall.

Funding Needs and Deadline

Talks to obtain public funding began earlier this year however a resolution regarding if it will be forthcoming is time-sensitive. The rights for the 2030 event belong to the International Management Group who want a resolution before month's end.

As stated in the official documentation, England Golf maintains that securing the event "offers substantial returns to the nation".

Leadership Viewpoint

"We maintain presently it's fitting that this prestigious event should be hosted on English soil," commented the CEO of England Golf.

He continued: "We have produced so many players over time and continue to do so, such as top English players, Georgia Hall, or Lottie Woad."

Financial Benefits and Impact

When asked the returns to public finance, the spokesperson noted: "We've just seen the type of effect that huge golf events can create concerning economic development."

He elaborated: "That's certainly what we expect may transpire through hosting this event, whether it's the investment that would be generated in and around the tournament or the job creation."

• Economic benefits for communities
• Employment generation
• Enhanced tourism
• Sports participation growth

Gender Equality Dimension

"Women's sports is precisely exactly where we should be focusing right now, ensuring that we make sport the most equitable environment for both genders," he highlighted.

"Recent examples show what the Ryder Cup does for golf. We've seen the effect of the Ryder Cup impacts the men's game."

Venue Details

This prestigious venue is located near Watford and is well placed to bring in visitors from the capital region.

This facility has organized a World Golf Championships tournament and boasts accommodation options commensurate with those required to organize a competition of the Solheim Cup.

Financial Details

To host the men's tournament on European soil needs more than £400m but for the Solheim Cup the requirement is about thirty million pounds.

"We require circa £20m in public funding to guarantee it," the spokesperson stated.

"And that's to add to existing substantial funding from the host location and our organization and potentially other partners we plan to put money in."

Urgent Timeline

The spokesperson would not state that talks have stalled, but admitted: "Undoubtedly there is a dilemma presently regarding if the government can support events like this."

"Previous examples demonstrate, from major athletic events, whether it be female competitions, that they are willing to put their hands in their pocket for selected competitions."

"In my opinion if we obtain supportive decision within the next month, it would enable us to win the hosting rights to be staged in England."

He summarized: "I don't have the money right now; the hosting attempt cannot proceed. This could alter soon if I got approval, but it really is time-sensitive."

Government Position

The government's manifesto during the campaign promised dedication to staging international events and looking for fresh possibilities to encourage future athletes of competitors and supporting sports participation.

After requests for response, a spokesman from the relevant ministry stated: "The UK maintains international standing for staging premier tournaments and we want to maintain this."

"Organizing competitions within the country motivates communities, encourages participation and strengthens community prosperity."

"There exists a robust calendar of tournaments in the near future, including cricket events two years from now through to supporting a bid to organize the Fifa Women's World Cup in 2035."

"Backing for upcoming proposals will depend on various elements particularly how effectively they help create social and economic benefits for the UK."
