Southern Texas PGA Announces 2022 Major Championships

Southern Texas PGA • November 9, 2021

SPRING, TEXAS – The Southern Texas PGA is excited to announce the 2022 Major Championships Schedule! While the Championship Committee and Staff continue to finalize a few of our smaller events, we felt it was important for our membership to see where we stand and announce some exciting updates. We look forward to seeing everyone back in person at the 2022 STPGA Annual Meeting the first week in February. This meeting is a week earlier to avoid being the Monday after the Super Bowl. 


After a successful start in 2021, we will again commence our season with a Pro-Pro Championship to allow members to play with a partner in March. New to 2022 is that our first stroke play major will be in April with our newest partner of Classic Chevy Hwy6 and Classic Chevy Sugar Land at Riverbend CC. This April Major will now allow the STPGA to go back to splitting up the Senior Championship and Assistants Championship to two individual events. The Seniors will play in July and the Assistants will play in August. 


Our biggest event of the year will head to TPC San Antonio to crown our Section Champion September 12-13. Please note this is a week earlier than 2021 but one that we believe will help more professionals participate. Our Senior Series, PGA TOUR Qualifiers, and other 1-day Section/Chapter Events will be finalized in the coming weeks. Thank you to all of these great facilities for hosting us. Let's make 2022 an even better year than 2021.

Jake Sitterle Claims 2025 Southern Texas Assistant PGA Professional Championship!

By Southern Texas PGA • August 18, 2025
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.

Uresti Wins 2025 Southern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship at Bay Oaks

By Southern Texas PGA • July 22, 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
