We've been closely monitoring Hurricane Milton and the developing situation in Tampa Bay, Florida. A state of emergency has been declared for the city and the Hurricane is expected to make landfall on Wednesday evening as a Category 3+ storm, with the city almost directly in the path.
This presents a significant risk to the safety of our attendees, both local and traveling to the area ahead of registration on Thursday, and it's a difficult challenge for the Events Team to reach the city.
In light of these challenges and following local guidance from state and city officials, we have decided to cancel the US Open Tampa Bay.
We do not make this decision lightly. We know you've invested time, resources, and energy into preparing for this event, and we have exhausted every alternative consideration. Ultimately, as recommended by the state and city government, for the safety of our staff and guests, the event will not be able to occur.
All tickets to this event will be refunded to you within 5-7 business days.
Our thoughts are with all you in the path of this storm. For those in the affected area, please take care and be safe.
