Golden tickets? Yep, we’ve got those.
As the USGA’s official Allied Golf Association in Texas, the TGA has the honor of conducting nearly 40 USGA qualifiers each year giving Texas players a chance to tee it up for a spot in a national championship right here in our (very large) backyard.
In 2024 alone, 127 Texas golfers earned their “Golden Ticket” to a USGA Championship through a TGA-conducted qualifier. That’s 127 stories of hard work, big dreams, and unforgettable moments — and TGA Gallery Club members help make every one of them possible.
And there’s more…
Each summer, the TGA hosts its own crown-jewel championships — and the winners don’t just take home trophies. They also earn automatic exemptions into some of amateur golf’s biggest national events:
- Texas Amateur Champion → U.S. Amateur
- Women’s Texas Amateur Champion → U.S. Women’s Amateur
- Texas Junior Amateur Champion (Boys) → U.S. Junior Amateur
- Texas Junior Girls’ Champion → U.S. Girls’ Junior
