The PGA of America built a new home in Frisco, Texas — a 660-acre campus that opened in 2022 — and in May 2027 it stages its flagship major there for the first time. The 109th PGA Championship comes to Fields Ranch East, the Gil Hanse-designed course at the heart of PGA Frisco, and it marks the first men's major championship in the Dallas–Fort Worth area in more than six decades.
Competitive play runs May 20–23, 2027 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Frisco, Texas — a fast-growing city north of Dallas that the PGA of America now calls headquarters. For the right audience, North Texas in May is a compelling backdrop: a brand-new championship venue, a destination golf resort, and a major that will draw the full global field.

The Venue: Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco
Fields Ranch East opened in 2023 as one of two championship courses at PGA Frisco, and it was designed by Gil Hanse with his longtime design partner Jim Wagner, the team behind the 2016 Olympic course in Rio and restorations at some of the game's most storied venues. Course design consultant Beau Welling also contributed to the project. Set on rolling North Texas prairie, Fields Ranch East pairs generous fairways with firm, contoured greens, placing a premium on angles, approach play, and managing the open-country wind.
The course plays as a par 72 and can stretch well beyond 7,000 yards for championship setups, but its defense is subtlety rather than sheer length. Hanse routed greens that transition from gentle interior contours into strong slopes at their edges, so precise approach shots and disciplined lag putting matter more than raw power. With little tree cover to blunt the wind, Fields Ranch East can change character hour to hour — the kind of variable test that produces genuine major-championship drama.
Fields Ranch East sits at the center of the 660-acre PGA Frisco development, roughly 30 miles north of downtown Dallas. Alongside its sister course, Fields Ranch West, the campus includes a 10-hole lighted par-3 short course, an entertainment and retail district, and the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa — a purpose-built destination that puts players, hospitality, and lodging on the same grounds.
Fields Ranch East opened in 2023 at PGA Frisco — the PGA of America's new home — and the 2027 PGA Championship is the first men's major it hosts, and the first in the Dallas–Fort Worth area in more than 60 years.
The PGA of America's New Home
In 2018 the PGA of America announced it would relocate its headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to Frisco, and the new campus was inaugurated in August 2022. Beyond the association's offices, PGA Frisco was conceived as a long-term championship destination — a public-private partnership among the PGA of America, Omni Hotels & Resorts, the City of Frisco, and the local school district that is slated to host a run of championships over its opening decade. The 2027 PGA Championship is the marquee event of that program, and the first men's major to be contested on the property.
The Championship
Format and Field
The PGA Championship uses 72-hole stroke play with a field of 156 players drawn from PGA Tour winners, world ranking qualifiers, past champions, and PGA of America club professionals. The cut is made after 36 holes to the low 70 scorers and ties. Unlike the U.S. Open, the PGA does not deliberately set up its host courses to punish — but Fields Ranch East's wind exposure and demanding greens will produce a serious test without any artificial intervention.
The Wanamaker Trophy, awarded since 1916, is the oldest major championship trophy in golf. Winning at Fields Ranch East in 2027 places a player's name alongside champions such as Jack Nicklaus (5 wins) and Tiger Woods (4 wins) — and inaugurates the major record of the PGA of America's new home in Texas.

Tickets and Hospitality
Ticket registration for the 2027 PGA Championship is open through official PGA of America channels, and demand for Frisco's first major has run high. Practice round access offers exceptional value — smaller crowds, relaxed pacing, and the ability to follow players up close across Fields Ranch East's open corridors before the championship crowds arrive.
For those seeking a full hospitality experience, a range of premium options is available through the official PGA Championship hospitality program:
- Club and hospitality venues positioned across the course — elevated vantage points with food and beverage service throughout the day
- On-course premium seating along the closing stretch, offering the closest championship viewing on the property
- Resort-anchored packages built around the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, with lodging, dining, and course access on the same 660-acre campus
Because PGA Frisco was designed from the ground up as a championship and resort destination, the hospitality footprint here is unusually integrated — spectating, dining, and lodging live on one property rather than scattered across a metro area.
The North Texas Angle
Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the country's great sports markets, and the PGA of America's move to Frisco has made it a genuine golf destination as well. The heart of the experience is the PGA Frisco campus itself: two Gil Hanse-designed championship courses in Fields Ranch East and West, the 10-hole lighted par-3 short course for evening play, an entertainment and retail district, and the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa as a base of operations for the week.
LXV coordinates the full North Texas package: tournament hospitality, resort lodging at Omni PGA Frisco, tee times across the campus courses, and curated dining that reflects the Dallas–Fort Worth scene. A major-championship week at the PGA of America's new home, with the right access, is as compelling a golf trip as the calendar offers.
