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.

Good Evening Players, Parents, & Family Friends, The temperatures may be cold, but the golf is heating up with red-hot competition and non stop excitement. Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - January The Srixon Prestige Tour burst into the new season with the Prestige Tour Premiere at The Golf Club at Texas A&M in College Station, delivering drama from start to finish. Mason McCord of The Woodlands, TX stole the spotlight in the Boys 11–14 Division, firing a sizzling 5-under-par second round and sealing the victory with a clutch birdie on the third playoff hole. In the Boys 15-18 Division, Ben Wylie of Houston, TX stayed cool under pressure, posting an even-par final round to capture his first-ever Prestige Tour win. On the girls’ side, Sadie Westbrook of Houston, TX was in complete control—building a two-shot lead after Round 1 and never giving it back on her way to her first career Prestige Tour victory. The momentum rolls on as January wraps up in Bandera, where Flying L Golf Course will host the Heart of Texas Classic and crown three more champions. Texas Junior Golf Alliance For the 13th straight year, the Texas Junior Golf Alliance—powered by the Texas Golf Association in partnership with the Northern and Southern Texas PGA Sections—continues to open the door to one of the biggest stages in Texas junior golf.
