14th Annual Texas Junior Cup Set to Return to Sand Hill Farm!

Spring, TX (January 8, 2025) –  The STPGA is pleased to announce the return of the 14th Annual Texas Junior Cup Matches Presented by HUB International, set to take place at Sand Hill Farm from September 19-21, 2025. This marks the fifth consecutive year that the exclusive, privately owned 9-hole course will host this prestigious junior golf event.

The Texas Junior Cup Matches presented by HUB International 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. 


After six years, the NTPGA was able to clinch the Cup in 2024 and took it home. Will they be able to retain it this year?


The first chance to earn a spot on the STPGA Team is at the Spring Series Championship April 26-27 at the Texas A&M Golf Club for both 11-12 Little Linksters and Junior Tour divisions. The Little Linksters Boys 9-10 Champion and Girls 9-10 Champion will earn exemptions to join Team STPGA at the Spring Series Championship as well. The Boys 11-12 Champion and Girls 11-12 Champion from both tours have an opportunity this summer to claim their spot at the STPGA Junior Championship. The rest of the team will be finalized at an additional 18-hole one day qualifier event.

Thank you to HUB International for their continued support and of course Sand Hill Farm for hosting in the fall! Go TEAM STPGA!

As you plan out the rest of your Spring Schedule with the STPGA, we highly recommend players to make sure they earn enough points to earn an invitation to the Spring Championship in order to compete for these exemptions.
