Exemptions, event schedule, and host site announced today!


Spring, TX (February 28, 2024) – The STPGA is excited to announce the 13th Annual Texas Junior Cup Matches Presented by TCG Advisors will be back at Sand Hill Farm on September 20-22, 2024! This will be the fourth straight year this unique privately owned 9-hole facility hosts the matches. 


The Texas Junior Cup Matches presented by TCG Advisors is an annual competition between the Southern Texas and Northern Texas PGA Junior Tours' top six boys and top six girls aged 12 and under. The Ryder Cup-style format features 9-hole Scramble and Mixed Four-Ball Matches on the first day followed by 9-hole Singles Matches on the final day. The history of these matches includes players like Sam Bennett and Hailee Cooper and many others that have gone on to top junior careers and college careers. 


The STPGA won the Cup last year and has been able to retain the cup for six straight years and we hope to do it again this Fall!


The first chance to earn a spot on the STPGA Team is at the Little Linksters Spring Series Championship April 27-28 at the Clubs of Kingwood - Forest Course. The Boys 9-10 Champion, Boys 11-12 Champion, Girls 9-10 Champion, and Girls 11-12 Champion will all earn exemptions to join Team STPGA in September. The rest of the team will be finalized at the STPGA Junior Championship at the end of the summer.

Good Afternoon Players, Parents, & Family Friends, First and foremost, thank you to all the players and parents who made 2025 an unforgettable year! With 40 action-packed events, more than 1,200 competitors, an epic Tour Championship, and two thrilling Ryder Cup–style showdowns, this season truly made history. 2025 was one for the books! With 2026 on the horizon, we wanted to share with you all the changes that will be coming to the Srixon Prestige Tour. Registration Dates When registration opens it will work a little differently in 2026. All events for a given month will open two months prior, at 9am on the first Tuesday of the month. For example, all events for March will open on January 6th at 9am. Cancellation Policy Cancellations for events will work differently as well. Each event will now have two deadlines. The first will be 12 prior to the First Round of the event. Those who cancel on, or before the first deadline, will be charged a $15 cancellation. The second deadline will be 5 days prior to the First Round. Those who cancel between the first and second deadline will be charged a $50 cancellation. For players who register after the first deadline and cancel before the second deadline, they will only be charged a $15 cancellation fee. As a reminder, all refunds will be in the form of credit to that individual player's account. Division Changes We will have some changes to our Age Divisions in 2026. First, our divisions will be expanding from 13-18, to 11-18. The division split will now be 11-14, and 15-18. Secondly, the Boys 11-14 division will be playing from a new yardage. Starting with the Prestige Tour Premiere on January 17-18, Boys 11-14 will be playing from 6,200-6,500 yards. Boys 15-18 will remain at their current yardage of 6,660-6,900, and both Girls 11-14 and 15-18 will remain at 5,600-5,900. Should a Boy in the 11-14 division wish to compete in the 15-18 division and play from the respective yardage, click here to fill out the Division Advancement Request Form. The form must be filled out prior to the registration deadline of the first event the player wishes to play up. Once a player plays up into the older division three times, they must remain in that division for the remainder of the year. Entry Procedures & Field Sizes Along with the altered divisions, the entry procedures into a given tournament have changed. Entry will now be first come, first served based on division. Once a given division has reached capacity, remaining players will be placed on the waiting list. In the event that the event is not full, and the first cancellation has passed, the remaining spots will be filled by the waiting list, regardless of division, on a first come first served basis. These changes were made to maximize the chances for each division to meet the AJGA PBE minimum field requirements. Attached below is the field allocation by division chart based on total field size.
