About This Event
The Carolinas Junior PGA Championship — Girls is the official PGA of America section qualifier for female junior golfers living in the Carolinas section. Competing at Pinewood Country Club in Asheboro, NC on June 15-16, 2026, this two-day stroke play event determines who represents the Carolinas at the national level. A strong finish here signals that a player can compete at the highest level of junior golf in the country.
What Advancing Means
The section champion earns an automatic invitation to the 2026 Junior PGA Championship at Fields Ranch in Frisco, TX, July 28-31 — the 50th anniversary of the national championship, making this year's title especially meaningful. Past national champions include Lexi Thompson, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas, so the lineage of this event is as strong as it gets in junior golf.
Coach's Take
If your daughter has the game to compete at this level, this is exactly the kind of event that separates players on a recruiting profile — section championships get noticed by college coaches in a way that regular junior events simply don't.
