The Big Tex Golf Classic is more than a day on the course. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that only the State Fair of Texas can deliver. From tee to green, golfers enjoy a premium tournament atmosphere infused with State Fair flair, including special guest appearances, beloved Fair traditions, and surprises around every turn.

This year’s tournament heads to the beautiful Brookhaven Country Club and a new Monday, June 8th date, offering a fresh take on a favorite tradition and the perfect way to kick off the week on the course.

When the final putt drops, the fun is just getting started. Guests are invited to stick around for happy hour and an energetic live auction featuring exclusive, can’t-buy-anywhere experiences, all while celebrating the impact we are making together.

Every dollar – 100% – raised through the Big Tex Golf Classic benefits the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, which have provided more than $21.4 million in auction awards and college scholarships to Texas students since 2018 alone. Last year, the tournament raised more than $207,000 in support of Texas youth, and this year we are aiming even higher. 

Thank you to our valued sponsors, participants, and volunteers for supporting Texas students through the State Fair of Texas!

Grab your clubs, gather your team, and be part of a day that delivers unforgettable fun and life-changing opportunity.

Spots fill quickly. Sign up your team today and help drive the future for Texas students.
