About This Event
The Southern Texas Junior PGA Championship is the section's premier stroke-play qualifier for boys and girls competing at the highest level of junior golf. Held at The Quarry Golf Course in San Antonio, this two-day championship determines who represents Southern Texas on a national stage. A strong finish here signals that a player can compete under real pressure against the best juniors in their region.
What Advancing Means
The Southern Texas 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 résumé line a college coach overlooks.
Coach's Take
If your player is ready to compete at the section level, this is exactly the kind of event that separates development from real competitive experience — and a title here opens a national door.
