PGA of America CEO Talks Record Frisco Sales, Ryder Cup Future
Momentum is building for the 2027 PGA Championship in Frisco.
Terry Clark, CEO of the PGA of America, discussed the growing momentum surrounding the 2027 PGA Championship to be held in Frisco, Texas. While the venue is still relatively new, having opened in 2023, Clark emphasized that iconic courses like Frisco won't be created overnight. Instead, the PGA of America plans to build on the success of previous championships to elevate Frisco's status.
The upcoming tournament, slated for next year, will follow major events hosted at acclaimed locations such as St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and Augusta National.
Clark noted that the 2027 PGA Championship has already exceeded financial projections, with corporate hospitality sales surpassing those of previous tournaments. The PGA Frisco campus, home to the Omni resort, will provide accommodations for players and offer various VIP experiences, including bars, restaurants, and retail shops. The main fan entrance has been redesigned, and some tee boxes have been altered based on lessons learned from previous senior championships.
While there is speculation about the 2041 Ryder Cup being hosted at PGA Frisco, Clark declined to comment on such future possibilities. However, he is enthusiastic about taking on the U.S. Ryder Cup operations and aims to enhance both the team's performance and the spectacle of the event. Current captain Jim Furyk, serving as a vice captain for the upcoming Presidents Cup, has been praised for his approach to leadership and learning from past experiences.
