PGA
Championship
 Bloomfield
Township has the honor and responsibility of being the host
community for the PGA Championship, to be held at Oakland
Hills Country Club August 4 – 10, 2008. This prestigious
tournament is one of the world’s largest sporting events. More
than 200,000 spectators are expected to visit and watch 156 of
the world’s greatest golfers compete to win the coveted
Wanamaker Trophy. The Township’s Board of Trustees,
administration and staff proudly welcome the opportunity to
showcase our community during this event. MORE BELOW...
Preparing for the PGA Championship requires
extraordinary planning. Since 2006, Bloomfield Township
officials have been working with Oakland Hills Country Club
and the PGA. A task force of Township personnel from every
department is coordinating all activities necessary to provide
the public services required of the Township for a successful
event.
Our paramount concern is the security and safety of all
residents, participants and visitors. The Bloomfield Township
Police Department is the lead law enforcement agency and will
coordinate efforts with a host of law enforcement agencies at
the federal, state, county and local level to make sure every
reasonable precaution will be implemented.
It is also important for us to minimize disruption to our
residents and neighbors. The event will have an impact on our
community as sections of two roads are closed in the immediate
area, traffic and parking are restricted in some
neighborhoods, temporary structures are built and many more
event-related activities take place.
At the same time, PGA officials, professional golfers and
the 40,000 daily visitors want an enjoyable and successful
tournament. This is one of the world’s most prominent sporting
events and we must fulfill our role as the host community to
help all guests enjoy the Championship.
Bloomfield Township, then, must achieve the ultimate
balancing act. As we proceed with putting plans into place,
the concerns of our residents, the needs of the tournament,
and security and safety measures will all be weighed.
