The STPGA Junior Golf program is one of the four pillars of PGA of America REACH Foundation Southern Texas. Dating back to 1994 when our Foundation was created, the leaders of the Southern Texas PGA saw the need to go all-in with junior golf and the next generation. Our program started as a clinic-based approach that saw PGA of America Members running STPGA-approved clinics. Today, the STPGA administers six different junior golf programs and is part-owner of a seventh. In total, we will run over 500 junior golf tournaments with over 5,000 unique juniors ages 6-18 this year.

Additionally, the program has numerous partnerships with national and regional organizations to help south Texas based juniors experience golf at the highest level in Texas, as well as across the country. This includes programs and tournaments like Drive, Chip, and Putt, PGA Junior League, the Texas Junior Golf Alliance, the Legends Junior Tour, and the Junior PGA Championship.

While our program has produced Division 1 athletes and PGA Champions like Jimmy Walker, our organization remains focused on creating lifelong golfers who enjoy the game and want to keep playing the rest of their lives!
