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.

STPGA 2026 Q1 UPDATE Record Growth & Our Roadmap Ahead Dear STPGA Members and Associates, We recently kicked off 2026 with our first Board Meeting and Annual Meeting in San Antonio. It was inspiring to see over 200 members in attendance for what was a productive and insightful few days. As we look toward the year ahead, I am proud to share some significant highlights regarding our Section’s health and future direction. Exceptional Financial Growth During the Annual Meeting, we reported our 2025 year-end financials, and I am pleased to confirm that the STPGA remains in excellent financial condition. Revenue Milestone: We surpassed $8.7 million in revenue for 2025, marking a 55% increase since 2021. National Standing: The STPGA is now the 3rd largest operation out of the 41 PGA Sections—a remarkable feat considering we rank 11th in total membership. Reserve Fund: Our financial success has allowed us to establish a conservatively invested reserve fund. This provides a safety net for unforeseen circumstances and the flexibility to expand our staff, enhance our programs, and capitalize on future opportunities. A Roadmap for the Future We were thrilled to unveil our finalized Vision, Mission, and Strategic Pillars . It has been several years since this foundational document was updated, and these pillars will now serve as the compass for all annual planning and goal setting.
