A COVID-19 Update from Executive Director, Thomas Hutton, PGA
March 17, 2020 • Blake Davis
We are in uncharted territory. Updates around this virus change daily and the STPGA would like to make an official announcement around the STPGA Junior Golf program. As we stated from the beginning, the safety and well-being of our staff, junior golfers, and spectators are our top priorities.
The STPGA has canceled all junior golf events between today, March 17, 2020 and April 12, 2020. All players in these events over the next three weeks will be canceled and issued refunds within the next 24 hours. This includes Little Linksters, Junior Links, Junior Tour, and Srixon Prestige Tour events.
It is our goal to conduct all events starting on Saturday, April 18 and continue into our Spring Series Championship the following week. The STPGA will send future announcements on new events that may take place during the weekend of April 18-19 or into the month of May.
Our goal remains to use the Spring Series Points List for invitations into the Spring Series Championship but additional updates may take place due to a large number of tournaments being canceled.
We encourage all parents and junior golfers to follow us on social media during these weeks for updates, other unique posts, and golf tips!
Thank you very much for your time and stay safe.
Thomas Hutton, PGA

In addition to the division champions earning exemptions, two more players secured valuable opportunities through their performances at the Bluebonnet Classic. Jackson Tennant earned exemptions into the Hannon-Fields Junior Invitational and Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches, while Caleb Patrick claimed an exemption into the 2026 Insperity Tour Championship.
