The mission of the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf is to provide playing opportunities for the advanced, intermediate, and beginning golfer ages 7-19. Whether your child is just getting started with their golf journey or wants to play more competitive golf to prepare for the high school or collegiate level, we have a program for you.
A joint initiative founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, USGA and The PGA of America, Drive, Chip & Putt is a free, nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf for boys and girls ages 7-15.
