About This Event
The Huntington Bank Byron Nelson Junior Championship is the Texas Golf Association's marquee boys junior stroke play event, contested over 54 holes at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas. It carries the name of one of golf's most celebrated Texans and draws a competitive field of the state's top junior players. A strong finish here signals elite-level performance in Texas junior golf and puts a player on the radar of coaches and selectors who follow the Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings.
What Advancing Means
Winning or finishing near the top of this championship earns meaningful Junior Golf Scoreboard ranking points that strengthen a player's national junior profile and college recruiting case. The event also awards AJGA Performance Based Entry stars, which directly improve a junior's access to AJGA-sanctioned tournaments throughout the season.
Coach's Take
If your son is a serious Texas junior with NTPGA or STPGA membership, this is one of the events you build the summer schedule around — the PBE stars and JGS points alone make it worth prioritizing over most regional alternatives.
