WELCOME!

Welcome to Rochester and Monroe County – where the champions come to play!

We’re delighted to welcome you to our beautiful region for the 2023 PGA Championship.

Monroe County is the anchor of the Greater Rochester, New York region, which is home to almost 1.2 million residents. We are known for our technological innovation, vibrant arts and culture, exceptional quality of life and rich history.

Our cultural, historical, and natural assets are some of the best in the world. Only in Rochester can you stand in the home of one of the world’s greatest inventors at George Eastman Museum; visit a 96 ft. waterfall in the center of the city; pay your respects to two of the country’s most dedicated civil rights leaders (Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass) at Mt. Hope Cem- etery; and explore the toys of your childhood at The National Toy Hall of Fame at home at The Strong National Museum of Play.

We hope that you enjoy your time in Rochester and Monroe County for the PGA Championship. To help you with your visit, you will find within this guide resources designed to help you find where to eat, what else to see and do while you’re in the area, and even a few reasons to plan a return visit to the Greater Rochester region.

We hope that when you leave, you will take a part of our pride in Rochester with you; that you will encourage others to visit and perhaps, you’ll return with family and friends. You will always be welcome.

Enjoy your visit.
