PGA Jr. League (Fall 2024)
PGA Jr. League exists to bring communities together through fun, team golf experiences… plus those experiences that transcend golf itself, like friendships that last for years to come or a newfound sense of confidence.
Playing as a team. Making new friends. Having fun. Competing together. Don’t take it from us… take it from the players themselves! Watch this short video and learn more.
During the course of one PGA Jr. League game, teams play four 9-hole matches in a two-person scramble format, reinforcing the team concept and creating a nurturing environment for learning the game. Coaches can also substitute players every three holes so that all of the golfers on each team can participate.
Fall league begins October 2024 – December 2024.
Online registration is a two-step process.
