Golf enthusiasts and those curious about the sport have a free-to-attend event on their weekend agenda with the 2024 Southwest Airlines Showcase taking its swing at Oak Cliff's Cedar Crest Golf Course from November 11-13. The showcase is a gathering of 42 top college-aged golfers representing diverse backgrounds, particularly from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in golf.
For those who can't make it to the course, the GOLF Channel is providing live coverage each day of the event from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST, giving spectators a chance to watch these young talents as they navigate the historic greens and fairways, Cedar Crest Golf Course boasts a storied past and has been a part of Dallas's community since 1919, having hosted the 1927 PGA Championship.
According to an announcement by the City of Dallas, this event is not just a competition but also an opportunity for the city to showcase the inclusive trajectory of golf, by highlighting players that mirror the diversity within our communities, a move that may change the face of the game in years to come.
Admission to the Southwest Airlines Showcase is without charge, urging fans and families to partake in the live-action; registration is open for those wishing to spectate or volunteer, the city's gesture to engage more individuals with the sport by removing barriers that often come with ticketed events.
