re: Dallas lands another Headquarters... PGA National Headquarters moving to Frisco

The PGA move is getting all the hype but its only 150-200 jobs and Frisco and the State are giving $160 million in incentives to move there. The bigger relocation announced last week is McKesson moving to Las Colinas. They are the #6 Fortune 500 company and will be bringing way more jobs to DfW. But Las Colinas doesn't have the marketing hype machine working like Frisco.

If they bring a big tournament to DFW it could have several 10s of millions of dollars worth of economic impact.

A golf major isn't a big draw for especially players?

Corporate headquarters make it easier to attract corporate sponsorship for its tournaments. Texas now offers that in a consolidated area whereas Florida doesn’t offer that to the degree that Texas does. Texas will surpass California as the worlds largest economy in 10 years too.
Just a clrification...the "PGA of America" is moving from Palm Beach Gardens. This group puts on the PGA championship and Ryder Cup and various club level items . There is the PGA Tour in Ponte Vedra that puts on the events you watch every week (excluding majors) and the USGA which is HQd in NJ (US Opens / US Amateurs / Rules and research

Do you know what a golf major is? It is one of the 4 most prestigious tournaments in the world, and quite literally every top player will play in it.

apologies, let me clarify, the two PGA tournaments that are currently located in the DFW area are not much of a draw to fans and do not get much interest from the upper echelon tour players either, geez, you guys

cool.
they have planned for the PGA championship, a major, to be at this new course at least twice.

couldn't hurt, small window of weather to make it appealing though, imo, not much of a spring or fall
kind of uncomfortable most of the other time
