Where it stands

As of 24 Aug 2026

Registration is closed and the drop phase is over: registration ran 6 Apr 2026 to 18 May 2026 with assigned purchase windows from 20 May 2026.

Since then the official site has sold remaining 2027 inventory first-come first-served through its official ticketing provider, with no further registration and no draw. Read on 17 Aug 2026, all four championship days (Thursday to Sunday) now show sold out, along with the Wanamaker Club and Choctaw Icehouse hospitality products; official verified resale is live for selected offerings.

Monday to Wednesday practice-round Championship+ grounds tickets are the remaining first-come option. Military registration for free grounds access opens in spring 2027 through GovX.

How to enter

Registration was at pgachampionship.com/register (opened 6 Apr 2026 10:00 CT, closed 18 May 2026). It was NOT a random draw: registrants took a first-come first-served queue place and were assigned a group with a 24-36 hour purchase window when sales began 20 May 2026. That route is finished. What is left at pgachampionship.com/tickets-2027 is a first-come sale of remaining inventory plus official verified resale, and, from spring 2027, military registration through GovX.

Your odds

No random selection - queue position is first-come first-served by registration time, and registration did not guarantee an opportunity to purchase. Expected attendance 200,000+; first men's major in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in over 60 years, so early registration was strongly recommended.

Good to know

Direct answer to 'any public ticket lottery?': there is NO lottery/random ballot; the official mechanism is a free registration queue with assigned timed purchase windows (official FAQ: 'you are registering for your place in line - first come, first served'). Registration window dates (Apr 6 - May 18, 2026; sales from May 20, 2026) are from the PGA of America announcement as republished by the host city's official DMO (Visit Frisco) and multiple outlets; pgachampionship.com itself confirms the mechanism, event dates and that registration is now closed.

Watch pgachampionship.com later in summer 2026 for remaining-inventory release. Military registration (free grounds + 1 guest via GovX) opens Spring 2027.

Expect the 2028 edition (Olympic Club) to follow the same ~April-May prior-year registration pattern.
