5th Annual PGA HOPE Cup Proudly Hosted by Northern Texas PGA Foundation
Winning Team Advances to 2026 Secretary’s Cup at PGA Championship
On Wednesday, November 5th, The Clubs of Stonebridge Ranch welcomed 14 teams for the 5th annual PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) Cup. Hanna Dickens led her team to victory alongside veterans Michael Powell, Foster Veronda, Mary Wine, and Jason Ogilvie, earning them a spot at the 2026 Secretary’s Cup, which will take place during the PGA Championship at Chester Valley Golf Club in Philadelphia, PA. The team shot a standout 7-under-par on the front 9 and finished 1-under overall to secure the win.
The PGA HOPE Cup brings PGA Professionals and veterans together for a team event that celebrates the PGA HOPE program, which offers golf instruction to Veterans as a pathway to improve physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Highlights From the Day
The day began with registration and tee gifts, followed by lunch for all participants at The Clubs of Stonebridge. During the meal, attendees heard remarks from Dr. Jesse R. Stewart, retired U.S. Army ranger, author, and university professor, and the national anthem was played before heading to the course. Competition began with a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start, officially kicking off the afternoon of competition.
Securing Their Spot: Secretary’s Cup Qualifier
The Northern Texas PGA Foundation’s PGA HOPE Cup served as a qualifier for the 2026 Secretary’s Cup, which will be held at Chester Valley Golf Club in Philadelphia, PA in conjunction with the 2026 PGA Championship. The winning team earned the chance to represent the NTPGA at this national showcase in May.
