New details on PGA of America's Frisco headquarters

in December the PGA of America announced was moving its operations and headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., to Frisco, Texas. The organization will anchor a 600-acre, mixed-use development that includes two public golf courses, which will host more than 20 championships in its first 12 years of operation. Earlier the week, PGA of America officials revealed new details on the undertaking.

“This is so much bigger than our headquarters, so much bigger than a couple of golf courses,” PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh said. “It’s really trying to create a community of golfers. I refer to it as a laboratory, a university, a destination not only to play but to learn everything associated with the game.”

As outlined in the PGA of America's agreement with the Frisco City Council, the PGA will bring two PGA Championships—announced on Monday to be held in 2027 and 2034—to the Gil Hanse-designed "East Course" at PGA Frisco, which will run more than 7,600 yards from the tips.

A groundbreaking is expected by the end of the year, with the courses open for play in 2022.
