About This Event
The Northeastern New York Junior PGA Championship is the section's qualifier for one of junior golf's top national championships, open to both boys and girls competing across two rounds at Waubeeka Golf Links in Williamstown, MA on May 23-24, 2026. This is a real competitive checkpoint — section champions earn an automatic invitation to the national stage. For juniors in the NENY section, this is one of the most direct paths to a nationally recognized title.
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 the championship, making this year's national event a milestone edition. That is a national field, a nationally recognized result, and a resume line that follows a junior golfer into the recruiting process.
Coach's Take
If your junior is serious about being seen this summer, winning or competing well at a PGA Section championship is one of the clearest signals you can send to college programs — this is a credentialed event with a direct line to a national championship.

A late May section championship lands at exactly the right moment in a junior season — early enough to shape summer plans and late enough to reflect real competitive development from the spring. College coaches track section PGA champions, and a win here signals that a junior can perform under structured, multi-round pressure.
