Frisco Tees Up the PGA

In the Dallas Morning News of Saturday, December 1, 2018 it was announced that the PGA plans on moving its headquarters from Florida to Frisco. The article states that the PGA headquarters complex will include a 100,000 sf office building, a 500 room Omni hotel, two championship level golf courses and a nine hole practice course.

This will mean that Frisco continues to secure itself as the professional sports capital of Texas which now includes football (Dallas Cowboys headquarters), hockey (Dallas Stars practice facility), baseball (the AA Rough Riders), basketball (Texas Legends – NBA G league), and soccer (FC Dallas/ National Soccer Hall of Fame).

Hopefully with the addition of the PGA and the tourist dollars that go with the golf tournaments which will be held as the new courses, the sales tax revenue generated will help with Frisco’s continued growth and stabilize the continual increase is real estate taxes.

I wonder if University of North Texas will expand its College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism when the new Frisco campus is built starting in 2022.
