Frisco Insider - PGA + Arrest + More

Howdy, Frisco.

If you stepped outside this morning and thought, “Wow, it’s basically summer,” just wait. By Wednesday, we’re back to jackets. March in Texas is undefeated.

We’ve got big sports news, serious school updates, tech debates, and some solid weekday events. Let’s get into it.

🏌️ PGA Frisco Gears Up for the 2027 PGA Championship

It’s been 64 years since Dallas-Fort Worth hosted a men’s golf major. That drought ends in May 2027, and the hype is already real.

The 2027 PGA Championship will be held May 17–23 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco, and corporate hospitality packages are already nearly sold out more than a year in advance.

Why this is a big deal:

• First men’s major in DFW since 1963

• First men’s major in Texas since 1969

• 100-year anniversary of the 1927 PGA Championship

Projected impact:

• ~200,000 visitors during championship week

• Over $100 million in economic impact

• Global reach to 500+ million households

And this isn’t PGA Frisco’s first rodeo:

• 2023 Senior PGA Championship

• 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship

• 26 total championships scheduled through 2034

Between the Omni Resort, PGA District, Ronny Golf Park, and now this… Frisco isn’t just “hosting events” anymore. It’s becoming a permanent major championship destination.

Mark it now: May 2027 is going to be wild.
