National Golf Tourney at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, MN. Who are the caterers for this event?

In August there is a national golf tournament in Chaska Minnesota. I have been trying to find out who is catering this big event. The Prom Center, local caterers that do many national golf events, are not doing this one. My question is: who is doing it? I would like to help out. It is held in August. Does anybody know the answer and maybe who to contact?
