State Junior Team Program
The USGA has created a State Junior Team program that will expand, strengthen, and diversify the junior golf pipeline by creating critical development, competitive and talent identification opportunities within each state for elite athletes ages 13-18. This program, which launched in 2024 with 7 states, will continue to expand to new states each year with the goal of all states having a team by 2033. The program will come to fruition through close collaboration between the USGA, its Allied Golf Associations (AGAs), the PGA of America sections and relevant state junior programs. The state committees will oversee team selection criteria and the operation of the state program based on guidelines provided by the USGA.
