The Senate of the State of Texas has designated May 6, 2025, as Golf Day in Texas, recognizing the sport's widespread popularity among Texans of all ages and backgrounds. Golfing not only promotes physical fitness and mental well-being but also fosters social interaction. Texas is a national leader in golf, home to over 800 golf courses and the headquarters of the PGA of America. The golf industry significantly contributes to the state's economy, generating $14.2 billion in 2023 and supporting more than 107,000 jobs, while also enhancing local tourism and hospitality sectors.

This resolution highlights Texas's rich golf legacy, which includes 25 Texans in the World Golf Hall of Fame and 102 Major Championships won by Texans. The state hosts numerous professional golf tournaments and thousands of golf-related charitable initiatives each year. The recognition of Golf Day serves to celebrate the sport's impact on Texas's economy and culture, encouraging more residents to engage in golf and appreciate its contributions to community well-being. The Senate extends best wishes for a successful Golf Day and plans to prepare a copy of the resolution in honor of the occasion.
