About This Event
The Rocky Mountain Junior PGA Championship is the official PGA Section qualifier for boys and girls competing in the Rocky Mountain region, held June 17-18, 2026 at Whitetail Golf Club in Dillon, MT. This is one of the most meaningful events on the regional junior calendar because it carries a direct path to a national stage. The section champion earns an automatic invitation to the Junior PGA Championship at Fields Ranch in Frisco, TX — the same event that has produced champions like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Lexi Thompson.
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. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the championship, making a national berth especially significant.
Coach's Take
If your junior is serious about their game, this is exactly the kind of event that belongs on the schedule — it's regionally credible, nationally connected, and the field will push them in ways that matter for their development.
