About This Event
The South Central Junior PGA Championship is the official section-level qualifier for the national Junior PGA Championship, open to both boys and girls competing at Indian Springs Country Club in Broken Arrow, OK on June 8-9, 2026. It is one of the most direct pathways in junior golf — the section champion earns an automatic invitation to a national championship with a 50-year history of producing tour professionals. If your junior is serious about competitive golf, this is the kind of event that belongs on the schedule.
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 edition of a national championship whose past winners include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Lexi Thompson. That is the field your junior would be stepping into.
Coach's Take
If your junior has the eligibility and is within driving distance, this event checks every box — it's competitive, it counts, and the upside of winning is a national championship berth.
