About This Event
The Southwest Junior PGA Championship is the Southwest PGA Section's premier junior stroke play event, open to both boys and girls competing for one of the most recognized titles in junior golf. Earning the section title is a direct path to the national stage, and the field draws the most competitive junior players in the region. This is the kind of result that shows up on recruiting profiles and college coach radars.
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.
Coach's Take
If your player is ready to compete at the section level, this is the event that opens the door to the national championship — and college coaches know exactly what a Southwest Junior PGA title means.
