SPRING,TX (MARCH 28,2024) – The STPGA is excited to announce the 9th Annual Texas Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches will be back at Shady Oaks Country Club on August 5-6, 2024! Shady Oaks was once home to world renowned golfer Ben Hogan, the name sake of the Matches, where he co-founded this pristine course with Texas Golf Hall of Famer Marvin Leonard. Shady Oaks continues to be a testament to the legacy of Ben Hogan.

The Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches is an annual competition between the Southern Texas and Northern Texas PGA Junior Tours' top six boys and top six girls ages 13-18. The Ryder Cup-style format features 18-hole Four-Ball and 9-hole Foursomes Matches on the first day followed by 18-hole Singles Matches on the final day.

The first chance to earn a spot on the STPGA Team is at the Fore! Challenge on May 29- 30 at Jimmy Clay Golf Course. The Boys 13-18 Overall Champion and the Girls 13-18 Overall Champion will all earn exemptions to join Team STPGA in August. The rest of the team will be finalized at other Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour tournaments throughout the summer.

Ongoing partnership strengthens competition, opportunities, and player development. SPRING, TX (January 14, 2026) – The STPGA Junior Golf program is proud to announce the 15th year of the Srixon Prestige Tour in 2026.

This includes custom golf bags and hats for Srixon Prestige Tour Champions, as well as high-quality golf balls for all tournament participants. “Support from partners like Srixon directly impacts our ability to administer our most competitive program for junior golfers,” said Thomas Hutton, PGA, Executive Director of the STPGA. “Their continued involvement plays a direct role in shaping the future of our game and pairs a high quality tour with a high quality brand.” The STPGA looks forward to another successful Srixon Prestige Tour season in 2026 with 48 events. The Spring Schedule can be viewed here with announcements coming in February around our 3rd Annual Insperity Invitational Tour Championship and the remaining schedule in March. “Working with the Southern Texas PGA is truly a win-win for our organization,” said Steve Nichols, Regional Team Leader at Srixon/Cleveland Golf. “This allows our brands and products to be in front of golfers consistently, but more importantly, invest in the next generation.” It is important to note that while Srixon and the junior golf remain a high focus for Srixon, they will continue to support the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches and other Section initiatives that involve our PGA Professionals.
