About This Event
The Michigan Junior PGA Championship is the premier junior golf championship administered by the Michigan PGA Section, open to competitive junior golfers who meet section residency requirements. This two-day stroke play event at Bedford Valley Golf Club in Battle Creek determines Michigan's representative at the national stage. Earning a spot here — and especially winning it — is one of the most meaningful results a Michigan junior golfer can put on their resume.
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 anniversary of a national championship whose past winners include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas. That is a national stage with real history behind it, and an automatic bid is the clearest path to get there.
Coach's Take
If your son is serious about competitive golf in Michigan, this is the event that matters most this summer — the field is strong, the venue is legitimate, and a win puts him on a national stage at the 50th Junior PGA Championship.
