PT Recap: Summer Showdown
July 9, 2025 •
College Station, TX(July 7-8) - The Srixon Prestige Tour hosted the 2025 Summer Showdown at Traditions Club at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. While Mother Nature certainly tested the competitors with some wet conditions, ultimately leading to the unfortunate cancellation of Round 2, these talented junior golfers refused to be deterred. Despite the shortened format, the resilience and skill displayed by the players shone through, proving that even in adverse weather, true champions rise to the occasion. The determination to perform at their best, even when faced with challenging circumstances, truly highlighted the spirit of junior golf.
Roberta Shows Grit!
Roberta Alvarez demonstrated remarkable determination, returning early to complete her suspended first round. With five holes left to play in Round 1, she finished strong, carding a 73. Her impressive performance has earned her a coveted spot in the Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches and an exemption into the Texas Junior Golf Alliance Invitational this October at Bearkat Course.
Jaxon Claims Second Prestige Tour Win!
Jaxon secured his second Prestige Tour victory of the season, adding to his win just two weeks ago at the Omega Transactions Mid-Summer Showcase at Westwood Golf Club. Entering Tuesday with a four-shot lead before Round 2 was cancelled due to weather, Jaxon's consistent play ensured his win. This latest triumph has earned him one of the last spots to play in the Texas Junior Amateur at Horseshoe Bay Resort later this month. He is also exempt from the Texas Junior Golf Alliance Invitational.
La Porte, TX (October 4-5, 2025) – The STPGA Srixon Prestige Tour made its way to Bay Forest Golf Course for the Bay Forest Junior Championship, a tournament rich in tradition. Since 1990, the Bay Forest Cup has been a staple in junior golf, and this year’s event carried that same legacy of great competition and memorable moments. Over two days, players battled through challenging conditions and showcased their talent, adding another exciting chapter to the tournament’s long history.
The STPGA is excited to introduce our new Prestige Tour Coordinator, Kevin Reilly. We are thrilled to have him on board the team and are eager to see him grow the game for our junior golfers! Here's a little more about him:
