SPRING,TX (MARCH 26, 2026) – The Southern Texas PGA is excited to announce, in partnership with the Northern Texas PGA the 11th annual Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches, set to take place August 3–4, 2026 at Dallas Athletic Club. Returning to a venue that previously hosted the matches in 2020, Dallas Athletic Club offers a championship-caliber setting with a rich tradition of excellence. Its premier courses once again provide the perfect stage for this prestigious event, bringing together top junior talent for an unforgettable competition.


The Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches is an annual competition between the Southern Texas and Northern Texas PGA Junior Tours' top six boys and top six girls ages 11-18. The Ryder Cup-style format features 18-hole Four-Ball and 9-hole Foursomes Matches on the first day followed by 18-hole Singles Matches on the final day.


Now is the time to look over our schedule and mark down these important events where the STPGA Team will be formed. All spots on the STPGA Team will come from Srixon Prestige Tour events starting in late May and running through the end of June. The winner of each of these events will earn a spot on the team.

Please note that for the second straight year, one spot is specifically held for the Boys 11-14 Division as we continue to see growth within this demographic during Srixon Prestige Tour events.
