PGA of America Names Choctaw Casinos & Resorts Official Casino Resort Partner for 2027 Championship at PGA Frisco

The PGA of America has named Choctaw Casinos & Resorts the Official Casino Resort and Official Community Partner of the 2027 PGA Championship. The event takes place May 17–23, 2027, at PGA Frisco. This marks the PGA Championship’s return to North Texas for the first time in more than 60 years and aligns with the centennial of the first PGA Championship played in Texas in 1927 at Cedar Crest in Dallas.

Choctaw Ice House Hospitality Venue and Activations

Choctaw Casinos & Resorts will transform the Ice House in the PGA District into the Choctaw Ice House, an all-inclusive climate-controlled hospitality space. The venue will feature food and beverage offerings, specialty cocktails, branded gifts, and interactive activities. Ticket holders gain access to a dedicated viewing area behind the ninth green.

Daily VIP hospitality tickets for the Choctaw Ice House sold out within three weeks. Additional elements include a branded photo opportunity outside the venue and an interactive space with casino-themed games, giveaways, and prizes. Choctaw Casinos & Resorts will promote the event through activities at its casino and resort properties in the months ahead.

Heidi Grant, Senior Executive Officer for the Choctaw Nation, said: “The 2027 PGA Championship represents a historic opportunity for the state of Texas, and we’re proud to partner with the PGA of America to help deliver an unforgettable experience for golf fans.”

Record Demand and Projected Global Scale

Interest has reached record levels with more than 155,000 people registering for ticket access, the highest total in Championship history. Tickets for all four Championship Rounds, Thursday through Sunday, are sold out more than nine months before the event.

Approximately 200,000 spectators are expected to attend. Global broadcast coverage is projected to reach nearly 500 million households in more than 170 countries. The Championship will feature a field of 156 players competing for the Wanamaker Trophy.

Jason Mengel, Championship Director, said: “The enthusiasm surrounding the 2027 PGA Championship continues to exceed every expectation, with Championship Rounds and weekly tickets already sold out and unprecedented demand in our hospitality offerings. Choctaw Casinos & Resorts shares our commitment to creating memorable experiences, making them an outstanding community partner as we prepare to welcome the first men’s major championship in Texas in more than five decades. Choctaw’s incredible support and presence throughout Championship week will further elevate what promises to be a landmark event for all attendees and the North Texas community.” This partnership was first reported by Indian Gaming.
