About This Event
The Northern Texas Junior PGA Championship is the section's premier stroke-play championship, open to competitive junior golfers who hold Northern Texas PGA Junior Tour membership. It serves as a direct qualifier for one of the most important national junior events on the calendar. For players serious about their development and college recruitment, this is the event in the section that carries real weight.
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 not a list a junior golfer gets to associate their name with by accident.
Coach's Take
If your son is ready to compete at the section championship level, this event gives him a legitimate path to a national stage and a résumé line that college coaches recognize immediately.
