The Texas Golf Hall of Fame (TGHOF) is making moves to ensure its members, and the remarkable history of Texas golf, is acknowledged on a grand and lasting scale.
The TGHOF will be opening a new physical structure this fall on the Northern Texas PGA’s campus at PGA Frisco. The North Texas anchor site will be an addition to the TGHOF’s footprint in the state, joining the Texas Golf Walk of Fame at Brackenridge Park Golf Course in San Antonio.
“The opportunity to have a prominent presence on the Northern Texas PGA campus at PGA Frisco is an incredible addition to the Texas Golf Hall of Fame, and significantly helps us reach our goal to bring as much awareness as possible to the greatest golf hall of fame in the country,” said a spokesperson for the nonprofit organization. “It is the modern home of golf in America and Texas golf will be on display in all ways.”
The TGHOF will be gathering a group of Legendary Eagles to help celebrate the official grand opening of the new anchor site and digital museum on Sunday, October 22. The festivities start at 6 p.m. at The Ronny Golf Park at PGA Frisco and will include conversations and storytelling with Texas golf icons hosted by Brandel Chamblee, a special Lifetime Achievement Induction, as well as food, drinks, music, and golf.

Both the Walk of Fame in San Antonio and PGA Frisco location will incorporate QR codes which will lead visitors to a one-of-a-kind interactive virtual museum highlighting individual members with his/her own digital exhibit and collection. These exhibits will include high-level films about each member, as well as separate videos diving into specific details of the individual’s career.
In addition, a comprehensive library of TGHOF artifacts, photos, memorabilia, trophies, and articles will be made available in a digital archive. Future special exhibits are also planned, to broaden the scope of stories captured and brought to life.
