The PGA Championship is turning its 111-year history on its head by bringing an official casino partner on board for the first time. Choctaw Casinos & Resorts will become the "Official Casino Resort" for the 2027 Major, which will take place at PGA Frisco in Texas. This is not only a bold move but also a true statement, ushering in a whole new era in golf sponsorship.
Choctaw Casinos & Resorts not only secures the title of Casino Partner but also becomes the "Official Community Partner" of the spectacle. The tournament itself will take place from May 17th to 23rd, 2027, in the heart of Texas, approximately 25 miles (40 km) north of Dallas. For fans on site, this means the established Ice House at PGA Frisco will transform into the "Choctaw Ice House" – an all-inclusive experiential world that makes watching even cooler.
Texas Calling
The return of the PGA Championship to Texas is a highlight in itself, as it has been over 60 years since a Major was held here. Additionally, the 2027 event celebrates the 100th anniversary of the very first PGA Championship in Texas, which took place in Dallas in 1927. The partnership with a casino is a true premiere and shows how the Major scene is evolving and breaking new ground.
More Than Just Golf
PGA Frisco is designed as a world-class Major venue, complete with an integrated Omni Resort and unparalleled hospitality infrastructure. The inclusion of a casino resort is another puzzle piece that elevates the overall spectator experience to a new level. This isn't just about the tee shot; it's about the show, the surrounding experiences, and the thrill – both on and off the green.
