December 18, 2024

Lucky 13th Year of Golf at Our Highest Level!

Spring, TX (December 17, 2024) -  As we reflect on another amazing year from our Prestige Tour, one word stands out: unforgettable. This year marks a “lucky” milestone as we celebrate 13 years of incredible golf at our highest level! From new achievements to record-breaking moments, we’ve reached new heights thanks to our partners, players, members, and sponsors. Here's a look back at the incredible success we’ve experienced throughout the season. 

A Year of Growth and Success

In 2024, we saw 957 junior golfers play a total of 8,773 rounds across the Prestige Tour, showcasing exceptional talent and dedication. With 23 repeat winners in the 13-14 and 15-18 divisions and 12 players earning multiple victories (Click Here to see the 2024 Repeat Winners), we couldn't be more proud to provide a platform for young players to grow their skills, compete at the highest level, and create lasting memories. 


The passion for play and competitive spirit carried over to some more truly remarkable achievements—most notably, our inaugural Insperity Invitational Tour Championship. This milestone event brought together the very best of us, showcasing a fantastic display of competition, talent and sportsmanship. The competition also saw two players earn status promotions, an impressive feat on such a competitive stage.


Our team also grew this year with the addition of two new prestige tour managers, Connor Murphy and Dean Pocwierz, who brought fresh energy and innovative ideas to our events along with the help of Tournament Manager, Matthew Coughlin. Their leadership and dedication were key to making this year one of our most successful yet.


Record-Breaking Moments

These juniors didn't just compete—they excelled. This season was filled with incredible golfing achievements, including 9,369 birdies and 195 eagles. Not to be outdone, our players also recorded five hole-in-ones (Click Here to see the Hole-In-One Names List) and an impressive 63 as the lowest round of the year shot by Ryan (Woojin) Lee at the Prestige Tour Open. These results speak to the depth of skill within our program and the level of commitment every participant shows.


Srixon and Billiard Factory: Continued Support

The support we received from our sponsors and partners made this year truly special. Srixon and Billiard Factory have been invaluable partners this season. Srixon provided 26,320 golf balls, ensuring players had top-tier equipment. At the same time, Billiard Factory contributed giveaway prizes, including a foosball table and pool cues, adding fun to the off-course experience.

Looking Ahead

After traveling over 9,000 miles throughout the seasons to bring top-notch events across the region, we are excited for what’s to come as we move forward. Our year's success has set a high bar, and we look forward to growing and thriving in the seasons ahead.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Srixon and Billiard Factory for their continued support in making this year’s success possible. Their partnership has truly been a driving force in elevating the STPGA Prestige Tour, and we’re eager to continue this incredible journey together.


To all our players, members, and partners—thank you for being a part of this amazing year. Let’s keep growing, competing, and reaching new heights in the seasons to come.
