About This Event
The South Carolina Junior Girls' Match Play Championship, now in its 27th year, is the Carolinas Golf Association's premier head-to-head competition for female junior golfers in the state. Competing in match play format sets this event apart from stroke-play tournaments, rewarding mental toughness, course management, and the ability to close out opponents hole by hole. Earning a title or deep run here carries real weight in South Carolina junior golf circles and signals a player is ready to compete at the next level.
What Advancing Means
Winning the South Carolina Junior Girls' Match Play Championship earns a player the state title in one of the CGA's most recognized junior events, providing meaningful visibility with college coaches who track state association results. While no USGA exemptions are attached to this specific event, a state match play title is a résumé credential that stands out in recruiting conversations and junior golf rankings.
Coach's Take
For any South Carolina junior girl serious about her development, this is a must-play — match play experience at the state level builds a competitive edge you simply can't replicate in stroke-play-only schedules.

Scheduled for early June 2026, this championship lands at a prime point in the summer junior season — after spring high school play wraps up and before the peak AJGA and USGA championship windows, making it an ideal competitive sharpener. For players not yet on the AJGA circuit, CGA-ranked events like this one are among the most important opportunities to build a competitive record that college coaches and national ranking systems can evaluate.
