The Srixon Prestige Tour represents the STPGA’s most elite and competitive level of junior golf. While many of the Tour’s top players compete exclusively on this circuit due to its year-round schedule, exemption opportunities, and national rankings, it is also

designed to provide Junior Tour players with the opportunity to experience a higher level of competition and participate in multi-day events. Srixon Prestige Tour tournaments are contested over two to three days, with juniors playing 18 holes per day

for a total of 36. The Tour is open to players ages 11–18*, and while it is often viewed as a pathway for preparing for state, national, and collegiate competition, it is important to note that not all participants intend to pursue college golf.

Launched in 2012 with just a handful of events, the Srixon Prestige Tour has grown into a robust schedule of more than 46 tournaments annually. Players competing on the Tour have the opportunity to earn exemptions into numerous state and national events conducted by various organizations, as well as AJGA Performance Stars, Junior Golf Scoreboard Rankings, and Global Junior Golf Rankings.

The Southern Texas PGA is a proud co-owner of the Legends Junior Tour with the Northern Texas PGA and Texas Golf Association. This ownership allows us to award exemptions into Legends Junior Tour events across the state of Texas. The Srixon Prestige Tour is designed to provide high-level competition within our Section, while the Legends Junior Tour creates competition between the best juniors across the state of Texas!

Not only can players earn exemptions into Legends Junior Tour events by playing on the Srixon Prestige Tour, but players also have an opportunity to receive a “Battlefield Promotion”. The Battlefield Promotion was created in 2019 to provide Srixon Prestige Tour and NTPGA All American Tour players direct access to the Legends Junior Tour. It states, should a player win three times in a calendar year on these Tours, such player will earn a Battlefield Promotion to the Legends Junior Tour and would become fully exempt for the remainder of that calendar year and the following year. 

Due to the structure of the alliance, the three wins can be combined between the STPGA Srixon Prestige Tour and the NTPGA All-American Tour.

At Srixon Prestige Tour events, players can also earn Priority Status into Legends Junior Tour events. Players who have proven themselves in previous Prestige Tour competitions will be given priority over other players. For more information about Legends Junior Tour Priority Status, Click Here.
