The mission of the PGA Junior Series is to provide and promote the enjoyment of golf by junior golfers through affordable and competitive playing opportunities in professionally supervised events organized by The PGA of America and supported by PGA Professionals throughout the country.
The 15th annual PGA Junior Series continues to provide global and national exposure for each of the 156+ player fields. Each event is Nationally Ranked in the Golfweek/Titleist Performance Index and the Junior Golf Scoreboard. Approximately one-half of the participants in each field are from the host-state and one-half are from outside the host-state. The boy 16-18 and overall girl winners from the first four events will earn exemptions into the Callaway Golf Junior World Championships in San Diego, Calif., and the boy 16-18 and overall girl winners for all events will earn exemptions into the Junior PGA Championship in Fort Wayne, Indiana on August 2-5, 2010.
Since its establishment in 1996, the PGA Junior Series has conducted 154 events in 41 states. Boys and girls ages 13-18 have participated from six continents, more than 24 countries and all 50 states with an average participation rate of 20 states per event. The Series is conducted from coast to coast across the U.S. from June to August.
With no membership fee and professionally run national junior events the PGA Junior Series is the cost effective road to college golf.
