Ongoing partnership strengthens competition, opportunities, and player development.
SPRING, TX (January 14, 2026) – The STPGA Junior Golf program is proud to announce the 15th year of the Srixon Prestige Tour in 2026. This ongoing partnership between Srixon and the Southern Texas PGA represents an investment in the next generation of golfers and PGA members, aiming to grow and elevate the game of golf.
As part of their commitment to the Srixon Prestige Tour, Srixon provides select merchandise to STPGA junior golfers. This includes custom golf bags and hats for Srixon Prestige Tour Champions, as well as high-quality golf balls for all tournament participants.
“Support from partners like Srixon directly impacts our ability to administer our most competitive program for junior golfers,” said Thomas Hutton, PGA, Executive Director of the STPGA. “Their continued involvement plays a direct role in shaping the future of our game and pairs a high quality tour with a high quality brand.”
The STPGA looks forward to another successful Srixon Prestige Tour season in 2026 with 48 events. The Spring Schedule can be viewed
here with announcements coming in February around our 3rd Annual Insperity Invitational Tour Championship and the remaining schedule in March.
“Working with the Southern Texas PGA is truly a win-win for our organization,” said Steve Nichols, Regional Team Leader at Srixon/Cleveland Golf. “This allows our brands and products to be in front of golfers consistently, but more importantly, invest in the next generation.”
It is important to note that while Srixon and the junior golf remain a high focus for Srixon, they will continue to support the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches and other Section initiatives that involve our PGA Professionals. Srixon truly believes in the connection between the section, our PGA Members, and the next generation!
