Who's going? Chase presale emails went out this morning.

Don't have presale, but I did sign up for when regular tickets are released

I'm only seeing all inclusive daily ticket options and other packages. No single entry only tickets. Saturday/Sunday are $300+ per ticket which includes a meal and non-alcoholic beverage.

Anyone find just a basic entry ticket?

I think that is just how it works for the PGA. Crank up the ticket price but food/bev covered. Had a friend that went last year and that was the case.

Got Tuesday practice round tickets. Did this last year at Quail Hollow and the food/bev inclusion is nice. Of course alcohol is not included in that but you can make your money back pretty quick with how expensive some of that stuff is.

I haven't received my Chase email yet. But then again, I'm group D

Don't think your group matters if you're in the Chase presale. I got mine today and was in group D also.

Check your junk email.

Fortunately I live within a few miles so I'll probably try and snag tickets same day for people trying to dump any extra tickets.

Yep. There it is. Thanks!

You don't need a Chase e-mail. Just go to the website and enter the first six digits of your card number when it asks for the code.

A golf buddy and I decided to volunteer. Figured a major hasn't been held in Texas nearly 60 years, may as well be a part of this one in some small way. We signed up to do 3 shifts (4ish hours each) of working the Shotlink tech. "Volunteering" still costs $250, but that gets you 2 polos, a pullover, a hat, and tournament access/food for all 7 days whether you are working or not

Damn. Where do I sign up?

Just checked it out myself.

Volunteer spots are full.

Nvm that was for 2026

I signed up as a volunteer through my club (Gentle Creek) as well. We marshal the first hole. I did it for the Sr. PGA a few years ago as well. We rotated throughout the hole. Being on the first tee for the introductions was great, so I'm really looking forward to being there when the big boys come through.

So if you volunteer do you have to be available the whole week or just a certain few days?

Got tix for Friday

You have to work at least 3 shifts, which are basically half-days. They allowed us to pick which days/portions of days we are available (AM, PM, or both/either) and asked if we are willing to work a double shift. For Shotlink, we had a conflict on Thursday but said we were good Friday-Sunday but not willing to work a double.

I assume the days just depends on the job as some may have all 7 days to choose from, but for Shotlink, the only need is on actual tournament days (logically). Looks like there are a few marshal jobs left while most of the rest are off-course jobs. Honestly, the best one of those might be willing to be a driver for the players lol. I work with a guy that marshaled at a Ryder Cup in Rochester, his main complaint was they had their back to the shot a lot while holding their arms up to quiet the crowd.

I volunteer for player transportation at the Byron Nelson and am doing the same in Frisco next year. I can confirm it is a pretty good/easy gig.

I went to Tulsa a couple years ago. It's not a bad deal if you're there all day. Food is good quality, widely available across the course with plenty of options for each meal and snacks in between.

I signed up for the chase presale just to see. Live in Humble so gotta add transportation costs too.

But even if I lived in DFW...and I have friends I could ask to crash with....at $300+ for weekend tix and its not like Thursday/Friday were lower enough to be considered good deals....I won't be going

I can sit in front of a TV...see way more golf....and still go out to eat for a kickass dinner for much less than that!!

Now seeing the post above about the volunteer deal....that's a good deal. Go work Friday-Sunday mornings and stay for the rest is a deal by itself. Getting any clothes/food/bev is icing on the cake.

And I can tell you from volunteering at the SHO many years that driving folks in a cart around is an easy and fun gig. Met Justin Rose's agent doing that

The general ticket windows open today I believe.

Just got 2

Still don't have my group email after signing up months ago

just got two for wednesday practice round

Window open

Going Thursday with my brothers, looking forward to it.

Prepared to eat myself into a food coma to make up for the cost of the passes (although Thursday is relatively cheap).

Is anyone seeing an option to just buy a ticket that doesn't include unlimited food? Not wanting to spend $650 on two

I signed up to volunteer last night. Only 3 gigs left for the peons were water distribution, ticket scanners, and merch tent. I went with water boy - figured it would at least have a shot at being out on the course somewhere to at least feel like you're there. Will take full advantage of going to the tournament when I'm not scheduled for a shift, if I'm not a lobster by the end of the week.

How are they going to make this a PGA Championship level course next year? Winner at what -25 this weekend?

If you are talking about the Byron Nelson, that is not where the PGA Championship will be.

Yea the PGA course in frisco will be a very tough test for the players. Especially if the wind is blowing 20+ mph like it commonly does in May. The wind on that course is intense. If it's blowing 20, it will be 30 out there.

Ok I thought it was the same course. My bad!

Yeah, very curious to see how the players handle Fields Ranch East. They have a lot of flexibility in how they can set it up. They used "ribbon tees" which basically means no actual tee boxes at all; continuous super elongated teeing area which leaves them a massive amount of flexibility in how to set up distance and angles from the tee. The fairways are wide but elevated with a lot of natural creek/wash-out areas next to them; so if you do miss, the ball can run down into some nasty areas that may not be playable. And then even though the fairways are wide, the green complexes are where the teeth are. Even though the fairways are wide, there are some strategic places to be because of what they've done with the greens and the angles needed. It chewed up the LPGA pretty well last year
