In 2008, golf in San Diego County brought in an estimated $3.7 billion and was responsible for 26,900 jobs, according to a report by the National University System Institute for Policy Research. This is equal to the region annually hosting 10 Super Bowls or 37 Comic-Con conventions. The report estimated that in 2008 course revenues exceeded $400 million and golf tournaments and golf-related tourism had estimated revenues of $247 million. The report did not include the 2008 impact from the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines (estimated at $142 million) as it was a non-recurring event. |
