About This Event
The Minnesota Junior PGA Championship is the PGA of Minnesota's premier junior stroke play championship, open to competitive boys who meet section residency requirements. It serves as a direct qualifier for the national Junior PGA Championship, one of the most recognized events on the junior golf calendar. Earning your way through a section championship is a meaningful competitive milestone that college coaches and recruiting platforms take seriously.
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.
Coach's Take
If your son is ready to compete at the section level, this is exactly the kind of event that belongs on his schedule — the field is serious, the format is clean, and the upside of advancing to a national championship is real.
