December 7, 2023

SPRING, TX (DECEMBER 6, 2023) – The Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour proudly concludes its 2023 season, marking a year of unparalleled success and memorable moments across 37 thrilling events.


The Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour attracted a staggering number of participants throughout the season, with over 1,000 players engaging in more than 3,600 rounds of competitive play. The Tour, renowned for its commitment to creating lifelong golfers, proudly granted 100 Legends Junior Tour Exemptions, providing young golfers with invaluable opportunities to showcase their skills on a larger stage.


This year saw remarkable performances on the course, with two exceptional records for the lowest champion scores in the Boys 13-18 and Girls 13-18 categories. The Boys 13-18 division witnessed an extraordinary display of skill, as the lowest champion score reached an impressive (-9) from John Solis, Aiden Wright and Preston Hiller, while the Girls 13-18 division set an even higher standard with a remarkable (-13) from Amelia Guo.


A testament to the Tour's dedication to fostering talent, a total of 32 unique Boys Champions and 26 unique Girls Champions emerged throughout the season, illustrating the depth of talent and competitiveness within the Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour.


This year marked the beginning of the Insperity Invitational Points List Challenge. This new addition gives the incredible opportunity to four Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour participants to play in the 2024 Insperity Junior Pro-Am. Congratulations to Cameron Villarreal, Bennett Kuhns, Krysta Loftin and Peyton DeBruin on earning their spot in the 2024 Junior Pro-Am. We look forward to continuing this partnership with Insperity Invitational as it will add an extra layer of competition throughout the entire year.

The Tour's commitment to collaboration and expansion was evident in its successful partnership with the Gulf States PGA and Louisiana Junior Golf Tour. Together, we hosted two unforgettable events in Lake Charles, LA, showcasing the tour's regional influence and contributions to growing the game.


In addition to its competitive events, the Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour continued to uphold its tradition of recognizing exceptional achievements. A total of seven hole-in-ones were recorded during the season from Sophia Ellestad, Paige Hill, Bradley Lavinier, Kendace Lee, RJ Merced, Meadow Kessler, and Michaela Partridge, highlighting the extraordinary skill and precision displayed by our players.


The Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour is proud to acknowledge the dedication and passion of all players, parents, sponsors, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the 2023 season. As the year comes to a close, the Tour looks forward to building on this momentum and continuing to provide a platform for aspiring golfers to excel in the coming year.
