Houston, TX (May 14, 2026) - The Southern Texas PGA Junior Golf program is excited to announce a new exemption for 2026. The winner of the Boys and Girls Division at the Insperity Tour Championship for the Srixon Prestige Tour will earn an exemption to play at The Greenwood Cup Junior Invitational hosted at River Oaks Country Club in Houston, TX. Over the past decade, The Greenwood Cup has welcomed many of the game's rising stars, including Blades Brown, Farah O'Keefe, Pierceson Coody and Rachel Heck, among many others. The tournament features a Boys and Girls Division, with a four-ball team format. Invited players have the opportunity to pick a partner of their choice. The Insperity Tour Championship winners will receive an invitation to this year's tournament on October 23-25, 2026.

"We would like to thank the Tournament Committee at River Oaks, including Tournament Chairman, Stuart Wallace and Director of Golf, Matt Swarts, for offering this exemption," said Thomas Hutton, Executive Director of the STPGA. "This not only adds to the reasons why juniors should try to qualify for the PT Tour Championship on July 20-21 at Boot Ranch, but also highlights River Oaks' commitment to growing the game. This first-class tournament is an event the players will remember for many years."

Both our Boys and Girls winners at the Insperity Tour Championship can pick a partner of their choice, pending approval from the Greenwood Cup Committee, and enjoy the first class experience at River Oaks CC in Houston, TX. This is an unbelievable opportunity for STPGA Junior Golfers to earn another exemption for playing Srixon Prestige Tour events!
