The PGA of America will relocate its national headquarters to Frisco, with the deal for the move becoming official next week, sources tell WFAA Sports. The move also means major championship golf will return to North Texas for the first time in more than 50 years.

The new site will be on the northwest corner of the intersection of Panther Creek Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway. The land is on what was known as Headquarters Ranch, formerly owned by Bert Fields, Jr. Hunt Realty purchased the land in August, and the Frisco City Council met in closed sessions last week to discuss plans on how to acquire the real estate. The PGA is moving its headquarters from West Palm Beach, Fla., where it's been housed since 1965.
