Last year, the PGA Jr. League reported record-setting numbers with 42,000 boys and girls playing on 3,400 teams nationwide—clearly the new generation of Masters champions is ramping up.
Of those players, 80 percent were beginner or recreational golfers, demonstrating the developmental nature of the program and its inclusivity to youth of all skill levels.
The PGA Junior League program brings friends and family together around fun, team golf experiences with expert coaching and instruction from PGA and LPGA Professionals. Boys and girls of all background and skill levels learn and play together in a supportive, two-person scramble format that encourages mentorship, builds confidence, and promotes sportsmanship. PGA Jr. League also has the support of some of the biggest names in golf—including Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie, Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson—who serve as Ambassadors for PGA Jr. League.
PGA and LPGA Professionals in the Seattle area are now offering the PGA Jr. League program for boys and girls ages 13 and under, though some facilities offer 16-and-under programs. Open enrollment for the 2018 season is now!
