Ted Breihan

The Annual LBJ Museum of San Marcos Ted Breihan Open Golf Tournament honors Ted Breihan and his impact on the community of San Marcos. Ted was a longtime board member of the LBJ Museum in San Marcos which led to the establishment of the golf tournament. The tournament has been a fundraiser for the museum for 20 years.

Ted received many honors and awards for his commitment to this community through the seven decades he made San Marcos his home.  He was grateful that he could be a part of the betterment of the city he so loved. Ted’s leadership and community service have left a resounding mark on San Marcos and will be recognized for many years to come. His heart was as big as Texas, and he shared it fully.
