Through PGA Jr. League, kids ages 17 and under learn and play golf on co-ed teams, wear numbered jerseys and receive expert coaching from PGA Professionals. Following recreational play in the spring and summer, hundreds of 13u All-Star teams and 17u All-Star teams, are formed in each league to compete in the National Car Rental PGA Jr. League Championship Season.
For the first time, All-Star teams have an additional pathway to the Regionals: beginning at Section Qualifiers and Section Championships held by all 41 PGA Sections, and/or participating in at least three local All-Star Play Days. With this additional pathway, the number of teams qualifying for each Regional has doubled, creating increased access to the Championship Season and more playing opportunities for All-Star teams.
To date, 68,000 players are participating in the 2022 season, led by 2,200 PGA Coaches. Additionally, PGA REACH — the PGA of America’s 501(c)(3) foundation — has provided nearly 2,500 scholarships to players who qualified for financial assistance or were from a military family.
National Car Rental was named the inaugural title partner of the Championship Season last year. PGA Jr. League’s biggest corporate partner since 2018, as well as an Official Partner and the Official Rental Car of the PGA of America since 2012, National’s title partnership aims to continue fueling meaningful growth of PGA Jr. League and supporting the program’s endeavors to welcome more kids to the game.
