The qualifiers are done and so are the USGA and TGA 2025-6 points events. The points are based on a wraparound year from 8/29-2025 to 8/8/2026. The following player’s qualified for the South Texas team through their outstanding play in these events:

We played a great golf course! Thank you Champions for hosting us. The course is immaculate and the Pro’s were so supportive of our event. It was a test of skill from 5800 yards with some pretty thick rough and those really big greens screaming 3 putt; but these girls played awesome and we now have 6 players qualified for the 2026 South Team. The last spot was a scorecard playoff on the number 1 handicap hole. Congratulations to the players below highlighted in yellow. I want to thank all of the players who supported the event this year. It means a lot. I want to see all of you back again next year.

We are excited to host the 2026 Texas Cup at the Crenshaw course at Barton Creek Resort in Austin, Texas on September 13-15. We are also hosting the South Team qualifier at Champions Golf Course on August 8-9. We will be playing the Cypress Creek course. Put these dates on your calendar and stay tuned for registration later in the year. If you need further information on the Texas Cup event, see the website tabs for Texas Cup History and Texas Cup points qualifying.

South Texas LAGA is looking forward to another great year in 2026.
