DALLAS — The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) hosted an incredible housewarming, inviting 600 guests, including the National Newspaper Publishers Association, to its new home just outside of Dallas, Texas.

The more than 106,000-square foot building, a masterpiece by any architectural standard, sits on 30 acres and overlooks the PGA’s sprawling campus at 1916 PGA Parkway in the town of Frisco.

Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones and team legends Tony Dorsett, Drew Pearson, and Ed “Too Tall” Jones were among the celebrities in attendance for the “Welcome Home” event.

“This is an amazing building, but we’re also slightly daunted by the work ahead, and ultimately, incredibly excited about that and all-in on making it all come alive,” PGA CEO Seth Waugh said during the glitzy ceremony.

In a separate conversation, Waugh thanked the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) for its partnership with the PGA.

“The work you’re doing is noticed and appreciated,” Waugh told the NNPA, the trade association of 235 African American-owned newspapers and media companies.

PGA officials, including Waugh and President Jim Richerson, refused to refer to the new building as “headquarters”; insisting instead that all in attendance refer to the structure as “home.”

The new home includes a Professional Development Center with a large bunker, chipping and putting areas, hitting bays and instructional technology, that PGA officials say are designed to assess all elements of a golfer’s swing.

The building includes several seating areas, offices, and educational spaces, all with stunning views of two championship-level golf courses on the campus.

PGA officials said the remainder of the 600-acre, $550 million campus will open to the public in Spring 2023 and “feature unique destinations encompassing: Fields Ranch at PGA Frisco, with two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Gil Hanse and Beau Welling; a world-class clubhouse; a 30-acre practice facility; a performance center; the 510-room Omni PGA Frisco Resort; and the PGA District, featuring a one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor golf-centered entertainment area.”

Officials said PGA Frisco is currently the most extensive development under construction in North America.

It’s projected to drive $2.5 billion of economic impact over the next 20 years.

Additionally, over the next 12 years, the PGA’s new home will host 26 championships, including the National Car Rental PGA Jr. League Championship in 2023 and 2024; the PGA Professional Championship in 2024, 2030, and 2033; the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship in 2023, and 2029; the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2025, and 2031; and the PGA Championship in 2027, and 2034.

“Our vision for our new Home of the PGA of America at PGA Frisco is to serve as the ultimate support system for our members,” Richerson said.

“It will be a first-of-its-kind golf laboratory that offers the best in professional development for our nearly 28,000 PGA Professionals. From cutting-edge technology to Member and Associate education, PGA Frisco will serve as a destination and gathering place for our PGA Professionals.”

Richerson continued:

“It represents the pride and passion exhibited in the work they do each day across the country to grow the game in their local communities. PGA Frisco will deliver the best in coaching, player engagement, golf operations, and executive management and host some of golf’s greatest Championships. It will enable our members to help golfers enjoy the game more now and in the future.”

PGA Frisco “is much more than a new home for the PGA of America,” added Waugh. “Our aim is to challenge golfers of all skill levels to improve, enjoy, and ultimately, fall in love with the game for a lifetime.”

Caleb williams 1400

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
