About This Event
The Michigan Junior PGA Championship — Girls is the official PGA of Michigan section championship that determines which junior golfer earns the right to represent Michigan at the national level. Competing here puts players in a field of the best junior girls in the state, tested over two rounds at a PGA-selected venue. A strong finish — especially a win — carries real weight for recruiting and national tournament access.
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, Justin Thomas, and Lexi Thompson. That is one of the most meaningful automatic bids available to a junior golfer in Michigan.
Coach's Take
If your daughter is competitive at the state level and has any interest in playing college golf, this is exactly the kind of event that belongs on her schedule — the field is legitimate, the bid is real, and the exposure matters.
