Enjoy Sports City USA

Beyond the tournament itself, there's a lot to do for football and golf enthusiasts both at the venue and nearby. If you're visiting from out of town or just want a getaway, the Omni PGA Frisco Resort, recently named Texas' best resort by Travel + Leisure, is a fantastic option.

At PGA Frisco you'll find the resort featuring two 18-hole golf courses, a 10-hole course with lighting for evening play, and a two-acre putting course. Guests also enjoy access to four outdoor pools, a full-service fitness center and spa, and a variety of delectable dining options. PGA of America headquarters sits on the campus which offers lessons to all skill levels at the PGA of America Coaching Center.

A short drive from the venue brings you to The Star, the Dallas Cowboys' World Headquarters and practice facility—a must-see for football enthusiasts. Tours provide an inside look at a day in the life of a Cowboys player, including the practice fields, workout facility, and player meeting rooms. But there's more to these tours: see the famous Draft War Room, Ford Center, and all five Lombardi Trophies! 

In the heart of Frisco sports fans can dive into the soccer action at the National Soccer Hall of Fame. High tech and hands on exhibits allow you to get into the game, learn about the history and players, and create your own team and merch.
