A Texas Golf Legend Honored by Texas A&M University: Duke Butler In a lifelong dedication to Texas golf, Duke Butler's journey began with his early accomplishments as a Texas State Junior medalist in 1966 and as a member of the 1969 Southwest Conference Championship team for Texas A&M. His passion for the game was evident from the start, setting the stage for a remarkable career. At just 29, Duke became the youngest Tournament Director of a PGA TOUR event, leading the Houston Golf Association with distinction. His early contributions laid the foundation for a legacy that would span decades. This September, Duke Butler will be honored with the 2024 Letterman’s Lifetime Achievement Award from Texas A&M, a fitting tribute to a man who has dedicated his life to golf and the Aggie spirit. Duke’s contributions to the sport have been recognized through numerous accolades, but this award is particularly special, as it reflects his enduring connection to Texas and his alma mater. Join us in celebrating Duke Butler’s incredible legacy and the impact he continues to have on the game of golf.
