PGA Junior League is a team sport that features a scramble match play format between two teams comprised of boys and girls ages 13 & under. There are four 9-hole matches played with two person teams competing against one another. Each match is broken down into 3-hole segments. Each 3-hole segment is worth 1 point. The team that accumulates the most points for the four matches wins the game and advances in the bracketed competition. Each team is captained by a PGA Professional who has dedicated their time to teach, coach and prepare the kids for the competition. It is a fun, inclusive, and social way for the kids to learn the game.
