Junior Tour Overview

The Northern Texas PGA Junior Tour features more than 3,100 boys and girls ages 7 to 18 and over 250 grassroots tournaments each year. The Junior Tour is separated into three areas, East, Metro and West, and each chapter plays host to the Spring Series, Summer Series, Fall Series, and All American Tours.
