DALLAS, Texas - The Northern Texas PGA and Southern Texas PGA are excited to announce Mizzen+Main as the official apparel partner of the 42nd Texas Joe Black Cup Matches.


The Matches will be held at Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas, from Monday, November 14 through Wednesday, November 16.


"Mizzen+Main is proud to sponsor the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches this November. As a Dallas-based brand, we're excited about this event happening in our own backyard and look forward to seeing some great competition between players who know the truth of the idiom, ‘Look good, play good.’ Every player's unique Mizzen+Main tournament clothing will cover the first half of that phrase, and we can't wait to watch them handle the rest," said Mizzen+Main President Ryan Kent.


The Texas Joe Black Cup Matches is an annual competition between the Northern Texas PGA and the Southern Texas PGA Sections. The event was started in 1981 to honor Joe Black, a Snyder, Texas, native who was completing his first year as President of The PGA of America that year.


“The NTPGA continually strives to elevate the prestige of the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches. Partnering with a premier apparel provider in Mizzen+Main, who also values the game of golf, will do just that,” said Mark Harrison, Executive Director / CEO of the Northern Texas PGA. “We know our professionals will be excited and proud to showcase Mizzen+Main during the Matches.”


“This is a great partnership addition to an already great event and we are very appreciative of the support Mizzen+Main is providing,” said Thomas Hutton, PGA Executive Director of the Southern Texas PGA. 


The Ryder Cup-style format features 12 golf professionals from each Section competing in Four-Ball and Foursome Matches on the first day followed by Singles Matches on the final day.

The overall Matches record is currently 19-20-2 with the Southern Texas PGA having the advantage.

ABOUT MIZZEN+MAIN

Since 2012, Mizzen+Main has redefined the workplace wardrobe with clothes that feel like athletic wear and look like custom-tailored fits. Built on the belief that men deserve comfortable clothes that come with confidence, Mizzen+Main combines performance fabrics with modern silhouettes to create clothes that look great and feel even better.

 

Mizzen+Main dress shirts are made of lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and active stretch material that can also be machine washed—making ironing and dry cleaning chores of the past. As a whole, Mizzen+Main has tapped into a movement of men, young and old, who are tired of sweat-stained and wrinkled dress shirts. And with tens of thousands of five-star reviews, that group is only growing.

 

Originally started as an online-only DTC brand, Mizzen+Main has now branched into the wholesale and retail markets with six stand-alone stores and over six hundred wholesale partners, including Nordstrom. As more and more people try on their first piece of Mizzen+Main —whether it’s a dress shirt, polo, pants, or a pullover—they’re creating a relationship with a brand that not only understands them but exists to make them (and their wardrobes) a little more comfortable.

 

Mizzen+Main believes that out of comfort comes confidence. And out of confidence comes a new way to walk into work, the weekend, and everywhere in between.

Headley and del Olmo Capture First Section Victories at Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship

By Steven Clements • September 17, 2025
LEWISVILLE, Texas (September 16) – Adam Headley, PGA head professional at Green Tree Country Club captured the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship after a 6-under-par final round. His bogey-free 34-32–66 and a first round 69, got him to 9-under-par for the Championship and a one stroke victory. It also earned Headley an exemption into the 2026 THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Headley was playing in the third to last group and began the final round three strokes behind the leaders. He quickly fell further behind the lead after starting with three pars, until a birdie at the par-5 4th hole got things going. On the back nine it was a battle between Headley and Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club. Headley eagled the 12th hole and added two more birdies on 15 and 18 to close and post 9-under-par. “My goal today was to play the par fives 4-under. I accomplished that,” said Headley. “I don’t like to look at the leaderboard, but I looked at it going into 18 tee and had a feeling I was sitting pretty good there.” “Honestly I didn’t think I'd ever win one. Not because I'm not a good player but because we have so many good players in the Section. If I had to choose any tournament to win, it would be this one.” Headley earned $9,250 along with his exemption into THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. “I’ve been a golf pro for almost 20 years and now to be playing in a PGA TOUR event, I don’t care how I do, It’s going to be a blast. I’m super excited about it, it’s a dream come true.”

Ronny Glanton Announced to PGA of America Hall of Fame

By Steven Clements • September 8, 2025
The PGA of America announced today that Ronny Glanton, PGA head professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course, will be inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame. Glanton, a native of Mineral Wells, Texas, began his career in 1981 as an Assistant Professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course in Richardson, Texas. Upon achieving PGA of America membership in 1984, he took over as Head Professional and has been at the Richardson facility ever since. He is the only member to serve twice as President of the NTPGA (2006-07, ‘18-’19). Glanton played a key role in the PGA of America’s relocation to Frisco, Texas. He is a passionate advocate for junior golf, developing impactful programs like the Sherrill Park Learning Center and the Hawks junior golf team, which have introduced thousands of new golfers to the game; his leadership in the creation of “The Ronny” Golf Park on the PGA Frisco campus further expands community outreach and player development. Among his previous awards are PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year (2020), NTPGA Golf Professional of the Year (1999, ‘07, ‘19), NTPGA Bill Strausbaugh Award (2003-05, ‘08, ‘14) and NTPGA Merchandiser of the Year (1994), plus induction into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 2022. Glanton actively supports his colleagues, raising over $100,000 through pro-ams for PGA Members facing medical hardships. He’s also been a four-time contestant in the PGA Professional Championship, five-time contestant in the Senior PGA Professional National Championship and seven-time participant in the PGA TOUR Byron Nelson (now the CJ Cup Byron Nelson). Glanton is a three-time NTPGA Major Champion, six-time Senior Division Major Champion and a 17-time member of the NTPGA Joe Black Cup Team, which he has also captained three times. The PGA of America Hall of Fame originated in 1940 at the suggestion of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice. It is the highest honor the PGA of America can bestow upon its membership or ambassadors of the game.
