26th Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Around the Corner

Southern Texas PGA • August 30, 2022

Registration now open with new guidelines!



The Southern Texas PGA is proud to commence the journey to this year’s playing of the 26th Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open at Eagle Pointe Golf Club in Mont Belvieu, TX on October 19-21. This year’s Championship will continue the tradition of being the best state senior open in the country, raise local charity dollars for college scholarships, and host a community wide Pro-Am the day prior to the event.


Last year’s event saw a record purse of $84,500 and $25,000 raised for local charities. The event was won by Barry Conser with a 36-hole score of 2-under par. The event was shortened to 36-holes due to serve weather on day one and the field of over 100 players battled through high winds and tough conditions.


This year the Southern Texas PGA is excited to welcome back our Title Partner Energy Transfer and our three presenting sponsors of S&B, the City of Mont Belvieu, and Vortech Contracting. The purse and overall experience would not be possible without their continued support of this event!


To continue to elevate the Championship, the Southern Texas PGA has updated its guidelines for playing in the event that can be found by Clicking Here. Registration is now open and will feature exempt players and three different priorities into the tournament. The event will continue to feature a Senior Division and a Super Senior Division. The Senior Division will play 54-holes with a cut after 36-holes to the top 30 and ties. The Super Senior Division will play 36-holes.


On Tuesday October 18, the Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Pro-Am will take place and feature over 20 teams from local companies and organizations playing with one of the Professionals from the event. This event will feature lunch, a 12-noon shotgun and then dinner afterwards. If you are interested in putting a team together, please Click Here for more information.


Lastly, the Southern Texas PGA is excited to announce that Energy Transfer has extended its agreement through 2025 for the Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open at Eagle Pointe Golf Club.


“Energy Transfer is a vital partner of the STPGA and we cannot thank them enough for seeing the vision of this event and the importance of giving back,” said Thomas Hutton, Executive Director of the Southern Texas PGA.


2022 marks the 9th year this event has been in Mont Belvieu, a growing town that continues to invest in the community and Eagle Pointe Golf Club.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (August 18, 2025) – Mother Nature had different plans at Champions Golf Club, where drawn-out lightning delays ultimately forced the cancellation of Round Two and shortened the 2025 Southern Texas Assistant PGA Professional Championship to 18 holes. Taking advantage of his strong opening round, Jake Sitterle, Assistant Professional at Lakecliff Country Club, earned the victory with a score of 70 (-1) on the par-71 layout, securing his place at this year’s champion. “This wasn’t the way anyone wanted this championship to end. Gilbert was playing great in the second round, but I am happy I could get the win,” Sitterle reflected. “With how the last major ended, I was always confident in my game and that I could be up at the top, but this field is strong, and I just wish all the guys who qualified the best of luck.” The tournament, hosted at Champions Golf Club, featured over 50 Assistant Professionals from across the Section, competing for qualifying spots into the Assistant PGA Professional Championship, set to be played at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, November 13-16, 2025.

HOUSTON, TX (July 22, 2025) – Omar Uresti, PGA Life Member, claimed victory at the 2025 Southern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, firing rounds of 67-73–140 ( -4 ) at Bay Oaks Country Club to secure the title of Senior Section Champion. This is Uresti's Fourth Senior Championship, with his last win coming in 2023. This year’s championship served a dual purpose, determining not only the Southern Texas PGA Senior Champion but also acting as the Section’s qualifier for the 2025 Senior PGA Professional Championship, to be held at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, later this fall. "It feels good to come out and get a win against a strong field and a tough golf course. The first round I was hitting good shots and making good putts, but today wasn't the same, and I had to balance my mental game a little bit throughout the ups and downs," said Uresti. In the final round, Uresti needed to battle back after a slow start on the front nine with 3 bogeys, but took the lead with 1 eagle and 2 birdies on the back nine to secure the win. The leaderboard finished with Uresti winning by three over Billy Sitton, PGA Executive from Triumph Golf, and four over Darrell Fuston, PGA General Manager from Westwood Golf Club. Heading into the tournament, Uresti, Robert Thompson, PGA, and Eric Bogar, PGA, were already exempt. The five additional qualifiers are: Billy Sitton, PGA Golf Executive at Triumph Golf Darrell Fuston, PGA General Manager at Westwood Golf Club Darek Franklin, PGA Assistant Professional at Austin Golf Club Steve Jurgensen, PGA Teaching Professional at Westwood Golf Club David von Hoffman, PGA Director of Golf at Spanish Oaks Golf Club
