PGA of America Headquarters Move From Florida to Texas

The PGA of America national headquarters may be headed to North Texas.

The national headquarters has been located in Florida since 1965 but PGA officials said the current location is outdated and out of space.

In recent years the suburb has lured both the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Stars northward, and now the new Panther Creek development may be luring the PGA from Florida.

Included in plans for the move are two new 18-hole semi-public golf courses that would position Texas to hold its first major championship in over 50 years.
