About This Event
The Alabama Northwest Florida Junior PGA Championship is the section's premier two-day stroke play event for competitive junior golfers ages 13-18. Earning the section title is one of the most direct paths to a national championship invitation available to juniors in Alabama and Northwest Florida. This is a real competitive milestone — not just a local tournament.
What Advancing Means
The section champion earns an automatic invitation to the Junior PGA Championship at Fields Ranch in Frisco, TX, July 28-31, 2026 — the 50th edition of a national championship whose past winners include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Lexi Thompson.
Coach's Take
If your junior is serious about competing at the national level, this is exactly the kind of qualifier they need to be in — two rounds, real stakes, and a direct line to one of the most recognized junior championships in the country.
