The U.S. Women’s Open is coming back to Lancaster.

United States Golf Association and Lancaster Country Club officials will announce at a 10 a.m. news conference Tuesday that the club will host the Open in 2024.

The club hosted the event in 2015, when it was won by South Korea’s In Gee Chun.

USGA Executive Director Mike Davis will make the formal announcement on a live video feed from USGA headquarters in Far Hills, New Jersey.

Ted Bloom, president of Lancaster Country Club, and USGA senior managing director Mike Davis will then make remarks.

“It has always been obvious that the USGA wanted to come back,” Jerry Hostetter, who was general chairman of the event in 2015, said Sunday.

“The fan experience was great. That’s what they’re looking for.”

The tournament, considered the most important in women’s golf, will be played in early June 2024.

Hostetter will again be general chairman. Rory Connaughton, a member of the executive committee in 2015, will be vice chairman.

The 2015 Women’s Open broke the event’s attendance record with 134,016 spectators. The previous mark, 131,298, was set at Cherry Hills, near Denver, in 2005.

The ’15 Open also set a record with 1,873 entries, got the strongest reviews of any championship USGA has conducted in spectator surveys and set unofficial marks for praise from players.

“The crowds have been amazing,” tour pro and 2014 Open champion Michelle Wie said after limping through the final round with an injured hip, knee and ankle in 2015.

“There’s so much support. They were so excited to see us. I felt the excitement. That’s what pushed me through the round today.”

The club and the USGA have remained in contact since 2015. Serious talks about a specific event didn’t begin until after the club participated in the bid process for the 2021 Solheim Cup, the Ryder Cup-style team competition between women pros from the United States and Europe.

The club finished second to Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio. The selection process ended in October of 2016.

“That’s when we started to have a real dialogue (with USGA) again,” Hostetter said.

Club officials announced the proposal to host the event to the club’s membership last month. There was overwhelming support.

“The membership has been great,” Hostetter said. “So have the volunteers, state government, local government. … It takes a lot of people coming together.

“I think we hit on all cylinders last time. It created a lot of excitement in the community, and it’ll take that kind of commitment to do it again.”

Although 2024 seems a long way off, the nine-year stretch from 2015 is actually short, in terms of invitations to host major golf championships.

Only Pine Needles in Southern Pines, North Carolina, has hosted the Women’s Open twice (2001 and 2007) in a shorter time.

“It’s rare to come back to a site this quickly,” Matt Sawicki, USGA director of championships, said Monday. “It’s a testament to Lancaster and to the golf course.”

Lancaster Country Club was designed by William Flynn, whose other credits include Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island, which hosted the 2018 men’s U.S. Open, as well as the United States’ oldest golf club, The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Lancaster Country Club’s “old” course, used for the Open, is a par-70 that played around 6,200 yards in 2015. Chun shot 68-70-68-66 for a 272 total, 8-under par and one better than runner-up Amy Yang.
