Omni Hotel & Resorts – the official hotel partner of the PGA TOUR – has a new partnership with Texas natives Parker and Pierceson Coody on the heels of the twin brothers obtaining their PGA Tour cards. The Coody brothers will showcase Omni’s logo on their respective golf bags throughout the season.
Pierceson and Parker Coody, 24, both finished within the top 30 on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour points list, earning their PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season. Each were standout players at the University of Texas at Austin, where they helped guide the Longhorns to win the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship.

“We are excited about our collaboration with Parker and Pierceson Coody, as it brings together two hometown players to represent our Omni Golf Collection,” states Kurt Alexander, President of Omni Hotels & Resorts. “As we continue to amplify our best in class golf collection at our resorts, having these two exceptional players as ambassadors aligns perfectly with Omni’s commitment to bringing the game of golf to individuals of all ages and skill levels across the country.”
The Coody’s are just the second pair of fraternal twins to hold PGA TOUR membership simultaneously. Allan and Curtis Strange accomplished the feat in 1981. The twins hail from a rich golf legacy as their grandfather, Charles Coody, won the 1971 Masters as well as 15 professional events in his stellar career.
“We’re honored to partner with Omni, a brand that is not only important to the state of Texas but making a lasting impact on golf’s bright future,” said Parker and Pierceson Coody. “Omni continues to invest in each of their golf-focused resorts, but also give back through their Birdies-or-Better campaign which aims to make a difference in the same communities we play in.”
The Birdies-or-Better campaign is an extension of Omni’s Say Goodnight to Hunger program, which gives one meal to a local Feeding America network food bank for each stay at any Omni hotel or resort. Created in 2018, Birdies-or-Better provides four meals to a family in need for every birdie-or-better made during each PGA Tour event.
The pair join Cameron Young, the PGA TOUR’s “Rookie of the Year” for the 2021–22 season, on Omni’s growing roster of ambassadors throughout the premier professional ranks.
The Omni Golf Collection consists of the 13 golf-focused resorts throughout Omni’s portfolio. They range from the most historic golf destinations in the U.S. to several of the most modern. Three have been included in GOLF Magazine’s “Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World” – The Omni Homestead Resort (Hot Springs, VA),Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa (Austin, TX) and Omni PGA Frisco Resort (Frisco, TX) which is the new home of the PGA of America.
