About This Event
The New England Junior PGA Championship is the section's premier stroke-play championship for competitive junior golfers ages 13–18, run through the New England PGA. It is one of the most direct pathways in the region to a national-level junior major, with the section champion earning an automatic invitation to the Junior PGA Championship in Frisco, TX. Earning your spot here means you've competed against the best juniors in New England under real tournament conditions.
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 résumé lines a junior golfer can carry into a recruiting conversation.
Coach's Take
If your junior is serious about college golf, winning or competing well at a PGA Section championship is exactly the kind of result that shows up on a coach's radar — this event belongs on the schedule.
