About This Event
The Tennessee Junior PGA Championship is the official PGA of America section championship for junior golfers in Tennessee, open to both boys and girls. It is one of the most meaningful events on the Tennessee junior calendar because the section champion earns a direct invitation to compete at the national Junior PGA Championship. Earning that spot puts a player on the same stage where Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Lexi Thompson all competed as juniors.
What Advancing Means
The section champion earns an automatic invitation to the 2026 Junior PGA Championship at Fields Ranch in Frisco, TX, July 28–31 — the 50th anniversary of the national championship, making this year's title especially significant.
Coach's Take
This is the event I point families to first when we talk about national-level opportunities — winning here is a direct path to a national championship stage, and even competing well puts your junior in front of the right people at the right time of year.

Falling in early June, this championship lands at a high-visibility point in the junior season when college coaches are actively building their recruiting lists and tracking section-level results. A section championship title is a clear recruiting signal that travels well beyond Tennessee.
