About This Event
The Midwest Junior PGA Championship is the official PGA Section qualifier for boys and girls competing in the Midwest region. It is a two-day stroke play event that determines which junior golfers from the section earn their way to the national stage. Finishing well here is a meaningful competitive benchmark, and the section champion earns a direct invitation to the national championship.
What Advancing Means
The Midwest 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 a stage with real history behind it.
Coach's Take
This is one of the most direct pathways a junior in the Midwest has to a nationally recognized championship, and the field will be competitive enough that a strong finish tells college coaches something real about your player.
