I was surprised by how many sports businesses have moved their headquarters here the last few years.
The PGA of America moved its headquarters from Florida and just opened in 2022 the $33.5 million new home as part of its $550 million campus development in nearby Frisco.
■ In 2022, the PBR moved its World Finals to Fort Worth ( Dickies Arena) after three decades in Las Vegas.
■ The ATP moved the New York Open to Dallas in 2021.
Several sports companies and sponsors have relocated their headquarters to Dallas in recent years, including: American Athletic Conference (from Providence, R.I.); Active Network (San Diego); AECOM (L.A.); McLaren USA (from New York City); Nolan Partners (L.A.); Oracle (Bay Area); Perfect Game (Cedar Rapids, Iowa); Smoothie King (New Orleans); Sunoco (Philadelphia); Toyota (L.A.); Warstic Bat Co. (Detroit); and Topgolf (Chicago).
