The Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches is an annual competition between the Northern and Southern Texas PGA Junior Tours’ top six boys and top six girls aged 13-18. The Matches provide a unique, one-of-a-kind experience for each Tour’s best-playing junior golfers. The Ryder Cup-style format features 12 junior golfers from each Tour competing in 18-hole Four-Ball and 9-hole Foursomes on the first day followed by 18-hole Singles Matches on the final day.
Set to take place on August 4-5, 2025, the upcoming event at the historic Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth is sure to be an extraordinary affair. Established by Texas Golf Hall of Fame Member Marvin Leonard, Shady Oaks holds a special place in golf culture, particularly due to its close association with the iconic Ben Hogan. As one of the club's founding members, Hogan practically made Shady Oaks his second home, spending countless hours there honing his craft.
Shady Oaks Country Club remains a bastion of Hogan's legacy, boasting an impressive array of memorabilia dedicated to the golfing legend. Following a recent renovation, the facility stands as a beacon of excellence in the Texas golfing scene, offering an unparalleled experience for players of all skill levels. With its rich heritage, state-of-the-art amenities, and unwavering commitment to preserving Hogan's memory, Shady Oaks guarantees an unforgettable experience for all who have the privilege of participating in the event.
