According to the proposal papers, England Golf asserts that a successful bid "offers substantial returns for England".

He further stated: "We've provided numerous competitors historically and continue to do so, including Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, or rising stars."

Concerning the advantages to public finance, the chief executive clarified: "The Ryder Cup demonstrated the type of effect that premier competitions can have regarding not just local economies."

He expanded: "This is definitely what we believe will occur through hosting this event, whether it's the expenditure that would be generated in and around the competition or the job creation."

"Female athletics is exactly exactly where our priorities lie currently, guaranteeing that we make sport the most equitable platform for all athletes," he highlighted.

Location Information

The proposed location can be found close to London and is ideally positioned to attract spectators from Greater London.

This facility has staged major golf events and offers lodging amenities suitable for those required for hosting an event such as the Solheim Cup.

Financial Breakdown

To stage the men's equivalent in Europe would cost over four hundred million pounds while for the Solheim Cup it is around thirty million pounds.

"We're looking for circa £20m in public funding to underwrite it," the executive declared.

"And that's supplementing current financial commitments from both venue and ourselves including further investors we plan to invest."

Time Sensitivity

The representative declined to confirm that talks have stalled, but admitted: "Undoubtedly there is a dilemma at the moment regarding whether or not the Treasury can support premier competitions."

"They have shown, from from a world athletics perspective, whether it be female competitions, that they are prepared to invest public money for certain events."

"In my opinion should we receive a positive answer soon, we could to win the hosting rights to come to England."

He finished: "We currently lack the money currently; the bid stalls. It could change quickly if I got approval, yet the deadline remains time-sensitive."

Official Position

After requests for response, a representative for the Department of Media, Culture and Sport commented: "Britain enjoys global recognition for staging premier tournaments and we intend that to continue."
