FRISCO, Texas (Jan. 14, 2026) – Families can visit PGAJrLeague.com, find a nearby program and register now for PGA Jr. League seasons offered year-round at facilities nationwide.
PGA Jr. League provides boys and girls a fun and organized way to learn the game, sharpen their skills and play alongside teammates with expert coaching from PGA of America Golf Professionals and LPGA Professionals. Kids play golf in a scramble format and wear numbered jerseys, creating an inclusive environment that allows everyone to contribute to the team.
“Our nearly 2,500 PGA Coaches who bring PGA Jr. League to life at the grassroots level are building community among families, instilling confidence in kids and creating team golf experiences that keep players engaged for a lifetime,” said PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr. “Through their efforts, PGA Jr. League continues to thrive, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it has on lives in 2026 and beyond.”
The launch of an official 9u age division in 2026 provides the youngest players a fun-focused, recreational league with shortened holes, practices and games designed especially for them. This pairs with the established 13u and 17u age divisions to create a lengthened pathway for players to grow through the game.
Competitive players in the 13u and 17u divisions can aspire to the PGA Jr. League All-Star Season, which spans May through November and includes All-Star Play Days, Sectionals, Regionals and Championships.
PGA Jr. League is the flagship youth pillar program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation, the 501(c)(3) foundation of the Association, with efforts focused on making the program accessible to all youth regardless of background, circumstance or ability. The Foundation is committed to providing access, mentorship, and meaningful experiences through golf—unlocking personal growth, life skills, and community transformation. Last year, more than 3,000 scholarships were awarded to children who qualified for financial assistance or were from a military family. Families can donate to the PGA Jr. League Scholarship Fund during player registration or directly here.
Since its inception in 2013, PGA Jr. League has welcomed over half a million players, including a record of over 80,000 last year. Notable PGA Jr. League alumni include two-time PGA Tour winner Akshay Bhatia, 2025 LPGA Founders Cup champion Yealimi Noh and 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Megha Ganne.
