PGA of America Golf Professionals are encouraged to let juniors and their families know they 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.
“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,” says PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea. “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.
Since its inception in 2013, PGA Jr. League has welcomed more than half a million players, including a record of over 80,000 last year.
The United States Disabled Golf Association (USDGA) and PGA of America have announced that the 2026 Ping USDGA Championship will return to PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, for the fourth consecutive year. It will be held April 26–29 on the Tom Fazio-designed Ryder Course.
As part of the partnership, the PGA of America will serve as presenting sponsor of both the 2026 and 2027 editions of the adaptive golf championship.
The USDGA’s mission is to provide people with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities an opportunity to showcase their abilities in a golf championship at a high level.
“The PGA of America is thrilled to continue as the presenting sponsor of both the 2026 and 2027 USDGA Championships,” says PGA of America President Don Rea. “Partnering with the United States Disabled Golf Association is a clear example of our mutual dedication to making golf a truly accessible and welcoming sport for everyone.”
